ABSTRACT

The article investigates the effects of a terror attack in Copenhagen and the subsequent escalating anti-radicalization business. On February 15, 2015, Omar el-Hussein was shot dead by the Danish police. Earlier that day, Omar el-Hussein had killed two people: a Jewish guard in front of a synagogue and a participant in a cultural event on freedom of speech. A few days later, the government adopted the largest (counter-) terrorism package in the history of Denmark. Although the package was presented as a firm response to the Copenhagen shootings, the legislation primarily targeted ‘Islamic foreign fighters’. Among acquaintances of Omar el-Hussein, the slippage was clearly noticed. Omar el-Hussein had never fought in the Middle East but was known, first and foremost, as a petty criminal who had recently been released from a Danish prison. I argue that a central condition for the change of scale from ‘criminal Danish citizen’ to ‘Islamic foreign fighter’ is aphasia – the occlusion of knowledge surrounding Omar that was consolidated with his death. The empty space of Omar enabled a new political logic that produced new scales of measurement, which, in turn, led to an accelerating anti-radicalization industry that occluded the killing of other Danish Muslim citizens; namely, the victims of a gang war in Danish housing projects. As the anti-radicalization business grew and created an excess of legislation, institutions and policies that targeted violent extremism by Islamic terrorists, it became increasingly difficult to voice and recognise the extreme violence that primarily targeted Danish Muslim citizens.

摘要

本文调查了哥本哈根恐怖袭击的影响以及随后激增的反激进主义业务的影响。2015年2月15日，奥马尔·侯赛因（Omar el-Hussein）被丹麦警察枪杀。当天早些时候，奥马尔·侯赛因（Omar el-Hussein）杀害了两个人：犹太教堂前的犹太卫兵和参加言论自由文化活动的参与者。几天后，政府通过了丹麦历史上规模最大的（反恐）恐怖主义方案。尽管一揽子计划是对哥本哈根枪击事件的坚定回应，但该立法主要针对“伊斯兰外国战斗人员”。在奥马尔·侯赛因（Omar el-Hussein）的熟人中，滑倒现象很明显。奥马尔·侯赛因（Omar el-Hussein）从未在中东作战，但首先被称为小罪犯，他最近从丹麦监狱被释放。我认为，将规模从“犯罪的丹麦公民”改变为“伊斯兰的外国战斗人员”的主要条件是失语症-围绕奥马尔的知识被其死亡所巩固。奥马尔（Omar）的空白使新的政治逻辑得以产生，并产生了新的测量尺度，从而导致反激进的产业加速发展，从而使其他丹麦穆斯林公民丧生。丹麦住房项目中的帮派战争受害者。随着反激进事业的发展，并针对伊斯兰恐怖分子的暴力极端主义制定了过多的立法，机构和政策，人们越来越难以表达和认识主要针对丹麦穆斯林公民的极端暴力。
