Unfortunately, just the opposite is happening. The Danes are willfully doing this to themselves: allowing more refugees from the Middle East wars (no extremists hiding among them, of course) and providing Danish born ISIS type fighters returning to Denmark with "rehabilitation." Wanna bet that "rehabilitation" means cash benefits somewhere along the line?

Among the preventive measures presented were a national rehabilitation center for returning extremist fighters, a hotline for parents, and a team of mentors to work with those at risk of becoming radicalized.

Yep, that ought to do the trick, alright. Wonder if these latest guys were graduates of the rehab program???

RT @BNONews: Man shot dead at Copenhagen train station is person of interest in shooting attacks. Shot dead after opening fire at officers - police

[NeverSure]

Edit. Can't tell how many shootings there are. At least two, ABC gave me the impression there might be another. ???

Don't put any faith in that...

Europe's at a crossroads.

[Steely Dan]

So we have one shooting at a free speech debate and another at a place where Jewish people congregate, an echo of the Paris murders in case anyone hasn't realized. Of course the attacks had nothing to do with Islam and the one at the Synagogue was a random attack and the word antiSemitism must not be mentioned in case doing so upsets the usual suspects.

A pattern has been established ...

Once again the smart Germans removed the wrong people

huh?

[NeverSure]

Several news sources including ABC have said that about 30 rounds were "sprayed" at the free speech event. IF that's true that takes an automatic weapon.

NOW eventually we'll have another debate about "militarization of police" because we can't have police going after something like that with police/civilian handguns.

[manarak]

Let's not go all Islamophobic here.

Nothing at all to be worried about bearded AK47 wielding maniacs im dresses shouting "allahuh akbar".

This will turn out to be nothing more than a random incident of workplace violence.

yeah, well...

There is moderate Islam = Muslims who basically betray their faith by choosing which religious prescriptions to follow

And there is Islamism, aka "fundamentalist Islam" - these must be eliminated. By all means.

Why no coalition is formed to send elite troops against ISIS is a mystery to me. France could even do it alone and later reap the business benefits from the Kurds, in proper USA style, i.e. we take care of ISIS, rebuild the infrastructure plus a few unneeded things and the Kurdish state pays it back with national debt to France. It would also help France out of its economic down.

The Foreign Legion counts approx 7500 men, maybe they could send 5000 in, helped by some air support and other elite units. They would rip through ISIS like a hot knife through butter. The Kurds could then occupy and secure the territory.

...and we process news like this now how? Numbed? Routine? We are all participating in a massive, collective slide into anesthesia by the steady horrific assault on all we hold dear. The road to fully waking up to "yes, The Third Islamic Jihad is upon our door" will arrive but we will be too numb and soiled to remember the values and ideals we once aspired to; are values are increasingly made relative. The road to slowly waking up and incrementally surrendering our humanity to these animals will cost us a good part of that humanity we struggled so hard to achieve since the dark ages.

This will not get better. This is not criminal. This is not assimilation. This is war! This will not "pan out." This will not go away. The only water that will seek its own level is Shar'ia. This is, as the Muslim Brotherhood asserts, "Civilization Jihad." IMO, every single thing we have ever held dear, secular or religious, is under full blown siege. The only horror its equal is the Civilization Treason of the West.

yeah the "pan out" scheme doesn't work because they are breeding and brainwashing many little young Islamists in many countries.

the only hope would be to oppress Islamism everywhere in the world so that new ones cannot be produced and then to wait until the older extremists die...

I think the West had better get used to this. The thought of all the foreign fighters in Syria, Iraq and Libya eventually going back to the countries they hail from is scary.

The Problem can be solved let into 50 million Black Christians from Africa they take care of the Muslims

Europe can not solve the Muslims problem alone

Once again the smart Germans removed the wrong people

Yes that would be the answer. After all, they are doing a sterling job dealing with Boko Haram and Al Shabab.

Man shot dead by Copenhagen police after gun attacks

COPENHAGEN (AFP) - Copenhagen police said early Sunday they had shot dead a man who opened fire on officers hours after two people were killed and five wounded in twin shootings in the Danish capital.

"The police are now investigating if the person could be behind the shootings at Krudttoenden and the synagogue in Krystalgade," police said in a statement.

The exchange of fire took place in the multicultural inner-city neighbourhood of Noerrebro where police had been keeping an address under observation earlier in the day.

"At one point a person who could be interesting in relation to the investigation arrived at the site," police said.

After police called out to him "he opened fire against the police and was thereafter shot," the statement added.

No police officers were injured in the exchange of fire.

A 55-year-old man was killed Saturday when a gunman sprayed bullets at Copenhagen’s Krudttoenden cultural centre as it hosted a seminar in which Lars Vilks -- the Swedish artist whose controversial Prophet Mohammed cartoon sparked worldwide protests in 2007 -- was among the speakers.

Hours later, a man was shot in the head and killed early Sunday near Copenhagen’s main synagogue in the city centre.

A huge manhunt operation was underway in Denmark overnight after the attacker fled following both shootings.

Two policemen were wounded in the shooting at the synagogue, and three more officers hurt in the cultural centre attack.

Police said they did not have enough information to confirm whether the two shootings, which come just weeks after a series of bloody Islamist attacks in Paris that left 17 people dead, were linked.

Progress. They aren't hesitating to call them Islamist attacks.

Eventually the pain caused by the cognitive dissonance from pretending this is just a temporary phenomenon will be greater than the pain of assessing what will have to be done in order to defeat the ideology of political Islam. That is the day change will begin. The first step will involve the rounding up of traitors who have facilitated civilization jihad, said traitors know this and will do everything to safeguard themselves at the expense of their nations, for that is what traitors do.

The second step will not involve any liberal solutions, too late for that. Mass deportations and internment pending this may well be on the cards, half way house options would just result in civil war.

Well said, both of you.

I predict a new awakening in W. Europe and Australia. I just hope it doesn't come too late. It will have to come from the people who haven't been brainwashed by governments, and that will be the minority at first.

Don't put any faith in that...

Three shooting incidents, three killed. First was at the freedom of speech event. Second at a synagogue. Third when the suspect was apprehended.

I guess Copenhagen should consider itself lucky on this one, compared to Paris.

May she find the balls that so many Western Politicians will never have.

Of course it's a terrorist attack.

Is she playing the Obama game of gingerly avoiding saying it was motivated by Islamic Jihad?

[Seastallion]

BBC - "He (the masked man) shouted something in Arabic."

Breaking news. A shooting at a Synagogue in Copenhagen.

From the posted news report straight after your post;

" police reported another shooting near a synagogue in downtown Copenhagen after midnight Sunday. One person was shot in the head and two police officers were shot in the arms and legs, police said, adding it wasn't clear whether the two incidents were linked. "

"Near" is quite a bit different from "at".

Just the mention of "near a synagogue" is sensationalisticaly suggestive enough, without actually twisting it into "at".

Having said that, I wouldn't be surprised if the events are connected and that the synagogue was connected. But lets keep it real....there's no need to senselessly send the anti-Muslim brigade into a frothing frenzy.

" Hours later, a man was shot in the head and killed early Sunday near Copenhagen’s main synagogue in the city centre." (From post 51 of this thread)

Near. not at. Could have been near a 7-11 too. Significant?

Does she know it was a Muslim extremist? Do you?
