Danish authorities are detaining two suspects related to the recent shootings there:
February 16, 2015
Danish police said they have detained two men suspected of helping a gunman who killed two people in separate shootings in Copenhagen Saturday.
Police said on Monday the two men are suspected of aiding and abetting the 22-year-old alleged gunman in carrying out shootings at a free-speech event and at Copenhagen’s main synagogue.
On Monday, Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt said, “As soon as the attack happened at the speech event, Danish police immediately increased security at the synagogue. If security had not been in place, the situation could have been much worse than it was.”
Thorning-Schmidt added, “This is not a conflict between Islam and the West, but between the core values of our society and violent extremism.” …
Motivation
Danish intelligence chief Jens Madsen said investigators believe the gunman was inspired by Islamic radicalism.
In the first attack, a gunman with an automatic weapon killed one person and wounded three police officers at a cafe. Danish media identified the deceased as film director Finn Norgaard, 55. …
Hours later, volunteer Dan Uzan was guarding a bat mitzvah ceremony when he was killed in the synagogue shooting, which wounded two police officers.
In light of the violence, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu urged Jewish people in Europe to immigrate to Israel, as he did following a deadly attack on a kosher supermarket in Paris last month.
French officials drew parallels between the acts of violence in Copenhagen and those in Paris.
Speaking from the Danish capital on Sunday, French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve observed the similar reactions in both countries.
“I saw this morning the same sadness I saw in the terrified gaze of Parisians in the month of January. The same sadness, the same fright, the same dignity, the same contemplation and the same sorrow,” he said at a news conference. http://www.voanews.com/content/danish-police-detain-2-men-suspected-of-ties-to-copenhagen-attacks/2645656.html
February 16, 2015Two men suspected of helping the gunman behind the deadly attacks in Copenhagen were jailed for 10 days Monday as Danes mourned the victims of a shooting spree that authorities said may have been inspired by last month’s terror attacks in Paris.
They were accused of helping the gunman evade authorities and get rid of a weapon during the manhunt that ended early Sunday when the attacker was killed in a shootout with police, said Michael Juul Eriksen, the defence attorney for one of the two suspects.
Prosecutors had asked a judge to place them in four weeks of solitary confinement and the relatively short period of detention suggests the case against the men is “thin,” added Juul Eriksen’s assistant, Anders Rohde.
Rohde was speaking to reporters after a four-hour custody hearing held behind closed doors for the men, who were not named.
Two people were killed in the weekend attacks, including a Danish filmmaker attending a free speech event and a Jewish security guard shot in the head outside a synagogue in Copenhagen. Five police officers were wounded in the attacks. Police said Monday they are in good condition and are expected to be released from hospital this week. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/world/two-men-jailed-on-suspicion-of-aiding-copenhagen-gunman/article23011436/
When Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt said, “This is not a conflict between Islam and the West,” I believe her position is consistent with those of other politicians who prefer not to see Islam as a problem, but only elements of it. And, of course, all Muslims are not committing such atrocities.
Yet, the carnal ‘solution’ that will ultimately happen is that Islamic-dominated nations in the Middle East and North Africa will end up being in a coalition and lead by one the Bible refers to as the final King of the South (Daniel 11:40-43). Various world leaders have indicated that the Islamic world needs to handle its problem with terrorism and some have suggested a stronger coalition between Islamic nations to do so. While a version of that will happen according to Bible prophecy, it will not end well for many of those nations that will participate according to Ezekiel 30:2-8 and Daniel 11:40-43.
As far as the Danes themselves go, the late Dr. Herman Hoeh wrote this related to their ancestry:
Dan was originally divided into two parts, one about Joppa, a seaport, and the other in the north of Palestine. Dan refused to fight along side the other tribes against the Gentiles (Judges 5:17). Dan would judge, or stand up to rule, his own people as one of the separate tribes of Israel indicating he would gain self-government in the following manner: “Dan shall be a serpent in the way, a horned snake in the part, that biteth the horse’s heels, so that his rider falleth, backward.” Ireland has done just that to England. In fact, the symbol of the illegal Irish Republican Army was the coiled snake!
Dan would also be like a young lion leaping forth, an apt description of Denmark, which acquired the Virgin Islands, Greenland, Iceland and other islands in her heyday. Especially unique is the fact that of all the tribes Northern Dan still preserves their father’s name the Danes! (LOCATION OF THE TRIBES OF ISRAEL by Herman L Hoeh, ca. 1950s)
As far as some of the prophetic possibilities for the Dane, consider checking out the article Anglo – America in Prophecy & the Lost Tribes of Israel.
There is danger in the world, even for some in places like Denmark. Problems will not truly go away until Jesus comes and establishes the millennial kingdom of God.
