Forbering af udlændingepolitiken. Fra Ny i Danmark den 7. november 2010:

Ny udlændingeaftale moderniserer reglerne for ægtefællesammenføring

Regeringen og Dansk Folkeparti har indgået en aftale om en modernisering af reglerne for ægtefællesammenføring i Danmark.

Formålet med aftalen er at sikre, at også de udlændinge, der gennem ægtefællesammenføring ønsker at tage fast og varigt ophold i Danmark, dokumenterer, at de har forudsætningerne og viljen til at bidrage til det danske samfund.

De nuværende regler for ægtefællesammenføring har haft en meget markant og positiv effekt. Da der i dag imidlertid ikke stilles krav til den udefrakommende udlændings kvalifikationer, er der stadig alt for mange ægtefællesammenførte, der har vanskeligt ved at blive integreret og dermed tilegne sig danske værdier og har vanskeligt ved at træde ind på det danske arbejdsmarked.

Derfor er tiden kommet til at stille nye håndfaste krav om, at den enkelte ægtefællesammenførte udlænding som en betingelse for ægtefællesammenføring er i besiddelse af integrationsrelevante kvalifikationer, der også gør den ægtefællesammenførte i stand til at bidrage til det danske samfund og på den måde understøtte integrationen og aftaleparternes mål om vækst og velstand.

De nye krav om, at man skal besidde integrationsrelevante kvalifikationer, ligger i naturlig forlængelse af forårets aftale mellem regeringen og Dansk Folkeparti om reform af reglerne for permanent ophold.

En politik som den skitserede vil betyde, at de, der ikke opfylder en række håndfaste ufravigelige kvalifikationskrav vil få afslag på ægtefællesammenføring. Dette gælder helt uanset ansøgers alder. Man skal således ikke længere kunne vente sig til en ægtefællesammenføring. Det betyder også, at det umuliggør, at forældrene kan indgå forhåndsaftaler om ægteskab.

Regeringen og Dansk Folkeparti har derudover indgået en aftale om følgende initiativer:

• Styrket indsats for at udsende afviste asylansøgere
• Udenlandske studerende skal være reelle studerende
• Bekæmpelse af parallelsamfund
• Reform af ægtefællesammenføring og gebyrbetaling
• Skærpelse af straffen for overtrædelse af et indrejseforbud
• Fortsættelse af den særlige Metock kontrol
• Udredning af pendleres grænsepassage og ægteskabsmønstre
• Udredning af hvad indvandring koster det danske samfund

Theodore Dalrymple om Tony Blairs muslimske familie

A Version of Conversion

By Theodore Dalrymple – November 2010

Many years ago, as a student, I read a paper in a medical journal that described four cases of religious conversion under the influence of temporal lobe epilepsy. At the time the paper delighted me, for I was not merely non-religious but anti-religious. It encouraged me to think of religious belief or experience as pathological in origin, though of course this was itself a pretty elementary error of logic, unworthy of the rationalist that I fondly supposed that I was. 

The psychological, sociological or other origins of a belief tell us nothing about its truth. The fact that I believe that the Battle of Hastings took place in 1066 mainly because my teacher would rap me over the knuckles with her ruler if I did not answer her question about it with sufficient celerity does not mean that the Battle of Hastings did not take place in 1066 – or, for that matter, that it did. The Marxist notion that being determines consciousness and not consciousness being might serve as a rough and ready empirical generalisation, but cannot possibly be an invariant epistemological principle.

Abdel Kareem Nabil Soliman

Karim sidder stadig fængslet. Selvom han har afsonet sin vildt uretfærdige straf:

It’s been confirmed that Kareem remains in jail despite having completed his prison term. We will be hearing more news within the next few days as his status is still pending, according to his lawyers. Friends who have attempted to visit him also confirm that he’s still imprisoned.

Citatet er fra hjemmesiden, Free Kareem. Selv Al Jazeera undrer sig over de egyptiske myndigheder. Den øvrige presse siger ikke noget. Sådan er det. Desværre…

Brigitte Gabriel om fyringen af Juan Williams

NPR, Juan Williams, and Sharia Law

By  Brigitte Gabriel and Guy Rodgers

NPR’s sacking of Juan Williams was more than the politically correct act du jour.  It was the latest in a series of media and political capitulations to Sharia law.

A central provision of Sharia law is its prohibition against speech that can be construed as “defaming” Islam or the prophet Mohammed.  Where Sharia is practiced and enforced, such “defamation” is a criminal offense that can be punished by death.

In other words, what we in America take for granted as free speech is a capital crime in some areas of the Muslim world.

Daniel Greenfield om vor tids nye gud

God as government or government as god, is what takes place when you surgically slice away the “god” part of religion

God as Government

By Daniel Greenfield  - November 7, 2010

“In my own time governments have taken the place of people. They have also taken the place of God. Governments speak for people, dream for them, and determine absurdly their lives and deaths. This new worship of government… is a worship I lack. I have no reverence for the all-powerful and bewildered face of Government. I see it as a lessening of the human being and a final looting of his birthright.” —Ben Hecht

God as government or government as god, is what takes place when you surgically slice away the “god” part of religion. Once you postulate that all religions are essentially the same, that they all worship the same god, and that the only differences between them are matters of ritual, then you have eliminated the differences and the identities of all religions. If there are no unique revelations, no special scriptures and no vital testaments… then each religion’s identity becomes a formality, is reduced to a series of dubious traditions that don’t really matter in the bigger picture. If all religions are equally valid, then they are also equally invalid. Just as, if all opinions are valid, then they are also equally invalid.
