Det forstår folk i Danmark allerede godt. Jeg tror vitterligt aldrig jeg har hørt nogen forsvare dem, som reagerer på hans bogafbrændinger med råb eller trusler. Selv mine muslimske bekendte, synes at de er nogle tåber. Både vold og trusler er ulovligt, så det er heller ikke noget der bifaldes fra samfundets side.
Vi havde allerede diskussionen om de uproportionelle reaktioner der kan komme på kritik af islam, for snart 20 år siden, da Muhammedtegningerne blev trykt. Langt de fleste, anderkender også at der er nogle problemer i visse indvandrermiljøer.
Paludan er ikke nogen Kurt Vestergård eller Yahya Hassan, han er en statsfinansieret racistisk troll. Han lyder desuden som et modbydeligt menneske, selv hvis man ser bort fra hans demonstrationer og politiske aktiviteter, men han fortjener selvfølgelig ikke at blive slået ihjel af den grund.
Maybe not high speed, but you could theoretically run a train line from Helsinki to Talinn and Stockholm. In Southern Denmark you could take the train from Rødby to Puttgarden, across the narrow stretch of water that separates Denmark and Germany. The train would just roll aboard the ferry, and then exit at the other end. As far as I know, that line has been closed down temporarily, and will run through the tunnel they're building, when it opens up again.
More realistically, you could work to improve the train-ferry connections. The train should take you all the way down to where you board the ferry, there shouldn't be long waits when you switch from one mode to the other and it should be seamless to purchase a ticket from Helsinki to Berlin, even if part of the trip is on a ferry.
Of course not as fast as traveling over land, but it makes more sense considering the geography, and I personally think it should count as a train connection, if the ferry is included in the train ticket.
Ireland is probably a bit more tricky.
