Mikael Jalving
Mikael Jalving (born 1 October 1968)[1] is a Danish journalist, historian, author and political commentator. Jalving worked as a commentator for Berlingske Tidende and wrote as the newspaper's most widely read blogger, until 2009 when he was hired by Jyllands-Posten.[2] He has a Ph.D. in history from the European University Institute in Florence.[3] Jalving has described himself as politically being national-liberal, social conservative, and more right-wing than all parties represented in the Folketing.[4] He caught attention in Sweden in 2011 for his book Absolut Sverige, which according to Dagens Nyheter describes a land of "self-righteous Swedes, treacherously lulled into a social democratic dystopia of control and political correctness".[5] The book was partly a response to a book by Swedish journalist Lena Sundström that criticised Danish attitudes towards immigration.[5] During the month of July 2014, Jalving hosted a limited daily radio show called Danmarks Röst ("Voice of Denmark", inspired by Cold War-era Voice of America), which aimed to transmit debate to Swedish listeners about subjects perceived to be taboo in Swedish public debate.[6][7] Jalving was criticised by an Islam researcher at the University of Copenhagen for misinforming about a Muslims' replies about 'sharia' in a questionnaire that did not mention sharia, but rules in the Quran, while sharia are based on other texts.[8] Bibliography
