Henrik Ræder Clausen (born 21 September 1963)[1] is a Danish politician. Clausen has been noted as a critic of Islam, and formerly published the news blog EuropeNews.[2][3][4]
Activities[edit]
Clausen was a member of the Danish People's Party from 2004 to 2011, when he left the party due to restrictions on what he could say and write publicly.[5] He was a candidate for the party for the 2009 European Parliament elections.[6] He later joined the New Right party,[5] and was a candidate for the party in the 2021 municipal elections and the 2022 general elections.[1]
Clausen became a publisher of the news blog EuropeNews in 2007, which has been described as being affiliated with the counter-jihad movement[2][3][7] and published both an English-language and German-language edition.[8] The blog is now defunct.[4]
From 2009 to 2019, he spoke at several conferences at the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE)[5] for the International Civil Liberties Alliance (ICLA).[9] He participated in the official ICLA-affiliated international counter-jihad conferences in Vienna in 2008,[2] London in 2011,[10] and Warsaw in 2013.[9] He also participated in an ACT for America conference in 2014.[4]
Clausen's writings has been published on the blogs Jihad Watch, The Brussels Journal[2] and Gates of Vienna.[4] In 2009, he wrote on Jihad Watch that Islam had worse ethics than Satanism.[11] He has also written in Jyllands-Posten in support of the Hungarian anti-LGBT law.[12]
Personal life[edit]
Clausen grew up in Brabrand in Aarhus Municipality, but moved to Copenhagen for several years where he wrote about computer technology for the magazine Komputer for Alle.[5] He moved back to Brabrand in 2005 where he works as a web developer and programmer.[5]
