God help us if this type of insanity infects America.
Via Copenhagen Post:
A Danish-Iranian artist was found guilty of racism by the Western High Court on Monday for statements she made about Muslim men.
Firoozeh Bazrafkan was charged with racism after writing in a blog entry, published in Jyllands-Posten newspaper in December 2011, that she was “very convinced that Muslim men around the world rape, abuse and kill their daughters”.
She added: “This is, according to my understanding as a Danish-Iranian, the result of a defective and inhumane culture – if you can even call it a culture at all. But you can say, I think, that it is a defective and inhumane religion whose textbook, the Koran, is more immoral, deplorable and crazy than manuals of the two other global religions combined.”
Aarhus City Court decided not to convict Bazrafkan under anti-racism legislation, section 266b of the penal code, last December.
The prosecution appealed the decision to the Western High Court, which on Monday found her guilty, handing her a 5,000 kroner fine, or five days in prison.
“The court argued that what I wrote about Muslim men was condescending and a generalisation,” Bazrafkan told The Copenhagen Post. “But that’s unfair, because there are many Islamic codes that are being used by Islamic men to justify their actions against women and children.” […]
Bazrafkan – a controversial artist known for integrating her Muslim background into her work – says that her adaptation and use of Andersen’s text was a “political happening” that was designed to expose the problem with the racism law.
