By Balder, Denmark -- Denmark is a strange country. We have an extreme Marxist party, supposedly promoting woman’s equality with men and adoption rights for gay couples, that has a fundamentalist Muslim candidate wrapped in a headscarf.
The Danish Conservative Party to mention one fresh and still kicking example, is that the Conservative Party tolerated a fundamentalist Muslim candidate with extreme sympathies for years.
However, after casually mentioning the existence of opinions that do not subscribe to the popularized version of “The Holocaust” and perhaps even worse, mentioning the name of David Irving, hell broke loose around her.
The affair started when the known Islamism Safia Aoude reproduced a manipulated photograph on her blog showing the well-known Danish Islam critics Lars Hedegaard and Helle Merete Brix with Muslim apostate Ayaan Hirsi Ali wearing a Nazi badge. A painting shows Goebbels in the background. In the same article she mentioned David Irving and the fact that there are different opinions about aspects of WWII.
The candidate in question, now holder of a Danish passport and of undisclosed (probably) North African origin by the name of Safia Aoude talked 10 years ago in an interview, as a spokesperson for the Islamic Student Organization about study tours to the armed Hezbollah movement in Lebanon.
No end to condemning articles in the press, and statements by fellow Conservative Party members many of whom seemed especially shocked to hear that Safia had mentioned the Name of David Irving on her website “in a way that made his opinions seem on equal foot with those of the real professional state approved historians”. [She actually nowhere in the article she voiced an opinion on the holocaust or praised Irving in any way.] Later she stated clearly she was not a revisionist, and that nothing from the article could possibly justify that accusation.
Safia Aoude is a candidate for the Conservative Party in the Copenhagen district Oesterbro. She works as a teacher of history and social studies at the Arabic private school DIA. She has also been a member of the volunteer Danish Home Guard, but was expelled, after which she went to a Muslim country to learn the much-desired military skills. Safia Aoude has been under observation of the Danish Home Security (PET) for years.
