Sennels Effect in Evidence in Denmark Police Stabbing.

The Sennels Effect, so named after the Danish criminal psychologist, Nicolai Sennels, is the often observed phenomenon of a difficult interpersonal situation escalating to mindless violence due to one or more of the protagonists belonging to the Islamic faith. It was the aforementioned academic who, while working in his country's penal system, first noticed the Muslim's comparative lack of self-control & propensity for violence, in comparison to Westerners & described them – among other distinctive traits – in an essay for the New English Review in May 2010.

How fitting it is, then that we return to Denmark, to look at the instance of a 'Palestinian' almost killing a policeman upon his being deported back to his non-country. One wonders what he thought it would achieve, stabbing a policeman thrice in the abdomen: maybe he thought they'd never catch him, master criminal that he is, don't you know the kuffar are stupid? Or perhaps he thought the Danes would realise they'd got him all wrong & let him stay. Or maybe he lashed out unthinkingly, which is the wont of his creed. This report from NDTV today (hat-tip to The Religion of Peace) fails to speculate, but I'm going with the third option:

Asylum Seeker Arrested in Denmark After Police Stabbing

Danish police on Tuesday arrested a Palestinian man suspected of stabbing a policeman at the country's largest reception centre for asylum seekers, which had sparked a manhunt in the area.

The officer was critically wounded after being stabbed three times in the stomach, but after surgery his condition was stable.

"The case is being investigated as an attempted homicide," local police said in a statement.

The suspect was a stateless Palestinian man born in 1990 who was about to be deported from the country. It is unclear how long he has spent in Denmark, or where the authorities planned to deport him to.

Earlier in the day a large area had been cordoned off around the former military barracks at Center Sandholm, Denmark's largest facility for asylum seekers, which currently houses around 600 people.

The centre, which lies around 20 kilometres (12 miles) northwest of Copenhagen, receives newly-arrived asylum seekers as well as those who have had their applications rejected and are due to leave the country.

Since Europe's refugee crisis began spilling into Denmark on September 6, at least 17,700 migrants have entered the country, according to police figures, but most have continued to neighbouring Sweden which has a more generous asylum policy.

Over the past three weeks, around 100 people have been applying for asylum each day, the Danish Immigration Service said.
