If I had come out on the street that night in front of the cafe, they would have lynched me.

180 Degrees 24 hours Amarillo Globe-News Exchange Berlingske Tidende, BT Dagbladet Information iu Dagens.dk DR Ekstra Bladet Jyllands-Posten Jyske West Coast told the paper Metro Netavisen Infopaq Politiken iu Sunday newspaper TV2 by A4 Monday Morning weekly Urban Weekend newspaper
"I sit down to examine it more closely: In the calotte and out of Nørrebro. ... I begins on Tuesday around noon. I will immediately stop in Emmerys-maker in Noerrebrogade 8, which I call the Israeli ambassador, Arthur iu Avnon. ... I ask if he wants to meet for a cup of coffee in Nørrebro. He will not. "I am no coward, but I'm not suicidal.
If I had come out on the street that night in front of the embassy, they would have lynched me. 'On Blågårdsplads I ask a group of Arab guys on their way to a café that supposedly iu is popular among local Salafists. Shortly after, a man approached me and say shalom. He is a jew and owns a cafe in Blågårdsgade. "They all know that I am jew," he said. "There is no problem at all.
After Runddelen get into Little Palestine, 2200 Beirut, or whatever you call that far side of the capital. I am the wandering jew, and it's pretty awkward. I am never with skullcap. I am usually totally at home here. It's not because we were here first, me and my great-grandparents, but because Noerrebrogade against Frederikssundsvej is the closest I'll Jerusalem home. And now I feel a surprising and sad feeling: I'm nervous. ....
When I come over internet cafe PowerPlay iu REBORN by Ægirsgade, comes a small group of boys at 15-16 years out. They start to give me the finger and yelling FUCK YOU! They send the very least, to me, a boy of Somali background.
"Are you a jew?" He asks. Yes, I reply, and he runs back to the others. FUCK, they cry several times. One of them threw out his hands, as 'you can come down here, if you dare!' They are standing iu on the step into the net point. ...
It was dark and I go down to the Nørrebro Station. One time I hear someone behind me say yahud (jew), but otherwise this busy and bustling that someone notices my skullcap. I have agreed to meet with my best friend's father. His name is Ralph Kempinski, and we lived with their family in Jerusalem in the 1970s.
"Okay," said Ralph, who has traveled iu around the world with his work. "It's too bad. But Copenhagen is a big city. In all big cities, iu there are places you can not just go. Places where black people go, whites do not go where gay people go. Is it too bad and wrong? Should it be different? Yes. But such is the world. People have prejudices. People do not like each other. That's it. When people here see a skullcap, iu they see a symbol. A jew is a symbol of an enemy. 'Seems he just, you have to put up with it? "No, but it's not something that can be wished away by saying that it is wrong. '.
Around Hillerødgade I go into a shop to buy chocolate. Front facing five guys staring at me, 25-26 years old. When I come out, enter one of them towards me, "Are you jew, jew your ...?," Well, yes, I say.
'Fuck it there, do not go like around here, "said one of the others. I ask why. "Are you an Israeli," he asks then, and I say, "No, I'm a Dane. '" A Danish jew, "says in the back. "Take it there of," said the first. The guy in the back comes around the other and raises his voice: "It's for your own good. I have a cousin who ran one down with a knife because he had it right there on. "But I am not an Israeli, I try. I live in Copenhagen. I skullcap, because my religion says so. "It may well be that your religion says that, but it does not say that you will die because of that." I mumble something, and the first guy comes up again: "Take it off now." I enter some steps back 'Take it off now while I look at it. "And then I'm gone - with calotte. They stand there looking at me for a long time.
It's like an American film in which a member of one gang has come to go in with the other with the wrong color bandana. I'll call Ralph and tells it. "It's about territory," he said. "You have gone into their territory."
"I sit down to examine it more closely: In the veil and out of Copenhagen. ... I begins iu on Tuesday around noon. I will immediately stop in Emmerys-maker in Noerrebrogade 8 where I call my uncle. ... I ask if he wants to meet for a cup of coffee in Nørrebro. He will not. "I am no coward, but I'm not suicidal.
