Henrik Ræder Clausen (born 21 September 1963)[1] is a Danish politician.[2] Clausen has been noted as a critic of Islam, and formerly published the news blog EuropeNews.[3][4][5]

Political activities

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.[6] He was a candidate for the party for the 2009 European Parliament elections.[7] He later joined the New Right party,[6] and was a candidate for the party in the 2021 municipal elections and the 2022 general elections.[1] By 2024 he had returned to the Danish People's Party, and became a member of its board in Aarhus.[8]

Clausen became a publisher of the news blog EuropeNews.dk in 2007, which has been described as being affiliated with the counter-jihad movement,[3][4][9] and published both an English-language and German-language edition.[10] The blog is now defunct.[5]

From 2009 to 2019, he spoke at several conferences at the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE)[6] for the International Civil Liberties Alliance.[11] He also participated in several of the international counter-jihad conferences since 2008,[3][12][11] and in an ACT for America conference in 2014.[5] He has also taken part in arranging the annual national conservative event Mosbjerg Folkefest [da].[13]

Clausen's writings has been published on the blogs Jihad Watch, The Brussels Journal[3] and Gates of Vienna.[5] In 2009, he wrote on Jihad Watch that Islam had worse ethics than Satanism.[14] He has also written in Jyllands-Posten in support of the Hungarian anti-LGBT law.[15]

Personal life

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.[6][16] He moved back to Brabrand in 2005 where he works as a web developer and programmer.[6]
