Denmark minister's car torched
13:04pm 8th June 2005
The Danish immigration minister's private car was torched in front of her home early on Wednesday in a protest against the Nordic country's tough immigration policy, local media reported.
"We are investigating the case as arson," police inspector Carsten Krogh was quoted as saying by Danish news agency Ritzau.

Ritzau said a previously unknown action group had claimed responsibility for the attack in a statement reading: "We will not watch passively while the official Denmark exercises its rasict immigration policy. Therefore we act now!"


The group's Danish name "Graensloese Beate" translates as "Beate Without Borders" or "Boundless Beate".

Danish police were not immediately available for comment.

The fire spread from the car to the house but Minister for Refugees, Immigration and Integration Rikke Hvilshoj, 35, and her family were unhurt, a government spokesman told Reuters.

Denmark's centre-right government won a landslide victory in 2001 on pledges to cut the number of immigrants coming to the Nordic country.

Hvilshoj was appointed minister in February, when the coalition was re-elected on the back of the popular crackdown on asylum-seekers and tax cuts.

Since 2001 the number of asylum-seekers has plummeted by almost 80 percent.

Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen and opposition leaders condemned the attack.

Ritzau said the name of the group claiming the attack, could refer to the head of the Vienna-based European Monitoring Centre on Racism and Xenophobia (EUMC), Beate Winkler.

Burning a car is hardly a terrorist act. An act of vandalism yes, but it is hardly up there with things that terrorsts groups get up to.

If only all terrorists could be as chilled out as Danish 'terrorists'.

Weird article, where did you get it from?

To be true, no one has been convicted however... if a Mosque od Islamic school had been torched or only a cross had been burned, the response would be nowhere as muted. European left wing terrorism exists, ie the assasination of Pim Fortyn and acts like that inspired the murder of Theo Van Gogh.

Van Gogh's murder was an Islamic extremist.

Terrorism exists everywhere and some of them are left wing, some are right wing, many are 'religious' types of all flavours, some are motivated purely by hate ,a load are not religious in any way.

It was a pretty minor incident and people are too quick to label things 'terrorist incidents', christ some people would call the egging of John Prescott a few years ago a terrorist attack,, such is the deep level of their retardation.

Burning a car is a pretty mild act of 'terrorism', labelling a rather minor act of vandalism a terrorist attack is pretty stupid. The mail is a notorious tabloid paper and even they didn't call it a terrorist attack.

I'm Christian, and your sly insult was caught my be and I am offended by the slur. Again, its OK to insult Christians according to 21st Century ethics. It is however, very very impolite to mishandle a Koran.

Islamic terror is a Left wing problem in Europe. The xenophobes certainly didn't invite them.

Another fine post from BOZO.

While you're busy labeling "right-wing" "terrorism"( if that is what it is) as leftist, would you mind if I ask what country you're from?

Of course terrorism is a problem, but calling a fairly minor act of vandalism a terrorist attack is just silly, very silly as you appear to be.

Is there any chance you could mean 'The Daily Mail' online?
