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 has along with her father been 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 became chairman of the Danish Free Press Society in 2014 after Hedegaard had been subjected to an assassination attempt,[8][9] and has previously been the editor of its online magazine Sappho.dk.[10] She left the position as chairman to Aia Fog in 2018.[11] She has also blogged for Jyllands-Posten, and written numerous newspaper debate articles,[1] including for Document.no, where she has lauded Bruce Bawer's defence of counter-jihad blogger Fjordman among others.[10]

She became parish priest in Borup in 2015,[1][3] and in 2023 in Slagelse.[12] She is married and has three children.[3]
