Euro-Islam?
Following the years of Enlightenment, Christianity largely became a mythology in Europe. We became “Culture Christians”, and religious doctrine and faith became something subdued, and “something you can do in your spare time”. European politicians never mention God, and there are no Bibles in courtrooms. In the 1970s we began to import labourers from Turkey, […]
Denmark in NATO – “the bad ally”
Denmark is a tiny country, with a population smaller than many major cities in the world. But with the Øresund strait, we are one of the two strategically most important areas in the world (the other is Turkey with the Bosphorus Strait). Russia cannot reach the Atlantic Ocean year round without sailing through one of […]
History aside…
As a history writer I make my living telling people how important it is to understand history.But sometimes we give history attention at the expense of present reality, not creating more clarity but more haze. In SoMe posts I see people stating that Christianity is just as bad as Jihadists – with even greater genocides and […]
Direction and Values
This is about more than single matters – it’s about direction and values.Development is about Humanism: personal freedom, equal opportunities (even for women and minorities), compassion, and justice for all. Building bridges instead of walls. Choosing diplomacy over friction. Assessing a society by observing the weakest, not the strongest. Building a strong, stable and resilient […]
Finally: Fiction
It’s a curious thing, the human mind. After subjecting myself, and by painful extension, the reading public, to a succession of hefty, historically-minded tomes — each one seemingly longer and more alarmingly titled than the last — I have finally, and not a moment too soon, managed to drag my thoroughly history-battered brain back into […]
The US psychology experiment
The USA is a huge psychology experiment You might think the USA is really not that relevant, or interesting, if you don’t live there, but in fact it works as a huge psychology experiment. By February 10th 2025 about 86% of the Republican voters still don’t regret their votes, according to a number of surveys, […]
What’s up with Greenland?
Greenland (officially Kalaallit Nunaat) is a self-governing country within the Kingdom of Denmark. It’s the largest of three constituent territories of the kingdom, the other two being metropolitan Denmark and the Faroe Islands; the citizens of both territories are full citizens of Denmark. As Greenland is one of the Overseas Countries and Territories of the […]
Trump is not a “dictator”
Stop calling Trump a “dictator”.The United States is a democracy.With or without Trump, 77 million Americans have voted this way – with eyes wide open.Let me tell you why: They believe themselves to be the righteous “rebellion” against the evils of decency, peace, human rights, diversity and science (“which are other words for yielding”), but […]
I’m out. Sort of…
Many of my friends and family has perished DIY style. I might deserve a place in the Guinness Book of Records as the person with most suicides in my social circle. I’m not about to do that. That would deprive the world of a taxpayer. But I find it useful from time to time to […]
¿WOKE?
Så skal vi ikke bare lade være med at omtale køn, etnicitet, hudfarve, hårfarve, religion og politisk standpunkt? Vi kan jo bare lade være med at bruge flag, annoncere for ting man ikke har råd til på en mindsteløn, og spille musik. Du ved: En gang i fremtiden afsløres det nok at denne musiker har […]
