The anti-immigrant Danish People’s Party, which has seen gains in popularity following the attacks of 11 September and the controversy about cartoons of Muhammad published last year, has lost 2.7% of voters' support in the course of the last month.

This is one of the results from an opinion poll conducted by Catinét Research for the Danish news agency Ritzau between 13 and 17 March.

The Danish People’s Party's member of parliament Louise Frevert is one of a number of Danish politicians who have played a key role in inflaming Muslim concerns with a comment on her website that “the Muslim menace ... can be compared with a tumour which we know will kill us, if we don’t find and annihilate it before it spreads.”

Yet another example of the repression under which Iranian Women must live. Even when they try to celebrate International Womens Day they are beaten off the streets. Support these women in their struggle against Islam, dont support the mullahs.

It should now be apparent to all that the usual strategies have proven ineffective against the ultra-right of today. The reasons are clear; the right is playing hard, fast and bold while the opposition is lost in analysis and navel gazing. ‘Storming the Bastille’ may again be required to precipitate change. Demos, alternative media, various forms of dissenting propaganda have all failed to alter the course of events. It would seem that while one side is playing hardball (for keeps) the other is content to fossick on the shores of world-shaping politics. ... read full story / add a comment
