Biography

Winkel Holm grew up in Seem, and is a daughter of priest and politician Søren Krarup and historian Elisabeth Krarup.[3] She received a cand.theol. (Master of Theology) from the University of Copenhagen in 1997, and is along with her father connected to the theological movement Tidehverv,[3] and a member of the Danish People's Party.[4]

She co-founded the Danish Free Press Society with Lars Hedegaard in 2004, and the Islam-Critical Network in 2006 following the Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy,[1][2] both described as counter-jihad organisations.[5][6] The latter was a network of priests in the Church of Denmark which stated that Christians and Muslims do not believe in the same God.[7] She was also the editor of the online magazine Sappho.dk.[8] She has regularly written for Document.no, where she has praised counter-jihad blogger Fjordman.[8] She has also blogged for Jyllands-Posten, and written numerous newspaper debate articles.[1]

She became parish priest in Borup in 2015,[1][3] and in 2023 in Slagelse.[9] She is married and has three children.[3]
