Søren Krarup (born 3 December 1937) is a Danish pastor, writer, and politician, who was a Member of Parliament (MP) for the Danish People's Party from 2001 to 2011.Krarup is a significant and influential critic from the Danish national conservative movement, as well as the theological movement Tidehverv.
He has written several books about Christianity, history and politics, and is regarded by both his supporters and many of his opponents as a great intellectual capacity.
He has been regarded as the main ideologue of the Danish People's Party, although he rejects the particular term himself, as he regards "love for the fatherland" not to be an ideology or "-ism", but rather a fundamental precondition for one's life.
He is a noted critic of Cultural Radicalism (Danish cultural relativist movement), Marxism and official Danish social policy, EU policy and immigration and refugee policy.He has, like a number of other prominent Danish politicians from the Danish People's Party, been a member of Den Danske Forening, but along with party members Jesper Langballe and Søren Espersen resigned from the association in 2002 after it had publicly compared Islam with the plague.
In 2007, while he was still not a member of the association, he however stated in a speech at its jubilee that he continued to hold its magazine "with great pleasure", and said he regarded the association as "the freedom fighters of our time".
