Danish priests are divided in their views on hiding Iraqis in Churches. These are the same Churches that helped Jews escape deportation to Nazi-Germany. What is the difference between than and now?

Danish Bishop Steen Skovsgaard will mot hide Iraqi Muslims in a Church.

Danish Bishop Steen Skovsgaard have publicly commented that he will not allow Iraqi citizens to hide in a Church.

«Its does not benefit their cause», explains Skovsgaard.

Another Danish TV- priest has publicly supported parish priest Per Ramsdal in Brorsons Church, who played hide and seek with the Danish Police. Both the priests are using the parable of the good Samaritan as the theological defense. A Christian Christian daily has published a story that 25 per cent of Danish priests supports such views.

My comment:

In 1940, the head of the Danish Church, the King, prevented thousands of Jews from being arrested and deported to Nazi-Germany. He helped them to escape to neutral Sweden.

Why cant the Danish Church do the same with Iraqis today, so they are not deported back to Iraq?

There are two obvious differences:

First:

The Iraqis are not going to be deported to a foreign country, but requested to return to their own country. The Germans demanded that Danish King should expel Danish Jews from their homeland Denmark.

Second:

There is no death penalty in Iraq for being an «Iraqi» or a »Muslim». Iraqis in Denmark are requested to go back home and rebuild their own country. In Nazi-Germany there were a death penalty for being Jewish. The Jews were not going to be deported for any other reasons, than being slaughtered and murdered in the Holocaust.

The motives behind Church asylum

The start of the Church asylum institution in Norway in the 1980-ties, was a bid to ask the Government to respect this tool as an emergency tool. The ideology behind this move, was to buy more time for the asylum seeker to document that a return to his country of origin would put his life in danger. Examples of people who came to seek refuge in Churches, was homosexuals from Iran, and Muslim converted to Christianity within the Muslim World.

When priests in the Danish Church hide Iraqi Muslims inside their Churches, it is a grave misuse of this institution. This kind of illegality, can not be defended by quoting Jesus of the Bible, but is based on various political motives. This is not a fruit of true Christian spirituality, but a fruit of worldliness.

To use the parable of the good Samaritan to defend holding back Iraqi Muslims in Churches in Denmark, is to misuse and twist the Word of God. There were no one willing to help the wounded man, lying helpless on the road, but the good man from Samaria.

The Iraqi youth that was hidden in a Church in Copenhagen is more than capable of helping them self.

Police video exposes lies of a Church in Copenhagen. The Danish police version of the eviction of a group of Iraqis asylum seekers is totally different from the versions of church activists and the parish priest.

Danish priest Per Ramsdal lied about the Police, keept Iraqies in the Church — Danish priest Per Ramsdal kept Iraqis in the Church, lied about the police who came and removed them

«Uniformed police with batons broke up the doors and stormed into the Church»

This is the account of the clergy staff of Brorsons Church in Copenhagen, recorded in the Danish press. The statement of the parish priest followed the police arresting Iraqi asylum seekers inside the Church building during the night of 13th of August. The asylum application from the Iraqis had been rejected by the Danish government, who had ordered the police to send the Iraqis back to Iraq.

Danish Church activists trying to stop the police from doing their job

The Danish police has decided not to remain silent on the serious accusations from the priest. A video recorded by the police has been given to the danish newspaper Berlingske Tidende. The video tells a completely different story.

«The Iraqis were gathered at the alter, with 50 police officers ready for combat around them. The Police has weapons, batons and helmets, was the public record given by priest Per Ramsdal.

In the one hour long video recording you would not see any officer ready for combat. To the rather opposite, you can see the police entering quietly through an open back door of the Church.

In the first 40 minutes the Police officers are calmly waiting for the Iraqis to stop screaming, threatening the police with chairs and microphone stands. Some of the rejected asylum seekers also tells the police they will commit suicide by throwing them self off the Harmonica gallery at the first floor.

The chaos left inside the Church after the Irqies had been arrested — The chaos left inside the Church after the Iraqis had been arrested.

First after waiting for 40 minutes for the Iraqis to calm down, the police officers put on their helmets. And that is because the Iraqis have started to throw glasses and other loose items on the officers. After an hour some of the Iraqis decides to surrender to the Police. They are allowed to pick up their personal items, and voluntarily accept to leave the Church building.

My comment:

There are many aspect of the Police action against the Church in Copenhagen. Its a sensitive issue.

First:

No one should defend for the priest telling lies. He has been exposed on Video, and should issue a public apology to the Danish Police officers.

Second:

The concerned parish priest did not represent Biblical Christianity at the time of the Police entering the Church. Some few weeks earlier, the priest told the press that «He would like to invent a common Church liturgy for both Christians and Muslims, praying together inside the Church.

Third:

The mission and calling of a priest, is to give people the Gospel about forgiveness of sins in the name of the resurrected Messiah, God the Son, Jesus of Nazareth. To give Iraqis a bed inside a Church, is not going to save them.

Fourth:

The Iraqis must have experienced a lot of pain and agony during the years of terror under Sadam Hussein, followed by American occupation and civil war. To see Police coming to arrest them must have traumatized them in the middle of the Night.

Fifth:

When a priest leave the truth in the Bible, and indulge in Spiritual harlotry, this is what happens. Before the police entered the Church, the God of the Bible had already left.
