For the last two days, the news reports from where the attacks have taken

the moment, the whole country is convinced, all the way from experts to
politicians and to ordinary people, that Denmark is under attack by radicalized
terrorists - but that isn’t true. In reality this is something completely different,
and the word will at some point be reach the mainstream, but for now they’ll let
