Denmark: Non-dhimmis get reelected

Feb 10, 2005 10:18 am By Robert Spencer

Links and comments from Ali Dashti:

Non-dhimmis have been re-elected in Denmark, the first nation in the West to start taking strong measures against Muslim immigration, even before 9/11. They now seem set to continue or strengthen this course. A Coalition supporter, the Danish People’s Party, want more restrictions on the movement of people between Denmark and ultra ­ dhimmi Scandinavian neighbour Sweden, as they fear that a breakdown of the Swedish welfare state due to massive Muslim immigration could trigger a flood of migrants from Sweden in a few years. Even though the rightwing won, the election showed signs of increasing polarization, as the most “compliant” party regarding immigration also did well. The elections took place under heavier security than usual, as Denmark has been threatened before due to its active involvement in Iraq:

By 10 p.m. Tuesday evening, with 75 percent of the votes counted, it was clear that Anders Fogh Rasmussen’s Liberal party had won enough votes to allow him to continue as prime minister. The PM’s Liberal party, together with coalition partners the Conservative and the Danish People’s Party, captured enough votes to give them 95 seats in the 179 seat parliament. Fogh Rasmussen’s reelection is the first ever for a Liberal prime minister.

“The political change that began in 2001 has been reaffirmed. The Social Democrats and left wing have lost ground again and a stronger right-wing government can now continue its work,” said Rasmussen, the first Liberal prime minister ever to be re-elected. The Social Democrats failed to provide a clear alternative after falling in line with the government both on immigration and Iraq, recording their worst election result in decades. “It pains me that Danes will now have to live with a Liberal government propped up by the Danish People’s Party for another four years,” said the defeated Social Democratic leader Mogens Lykketoft, referring to the ruling coalition’s anti-immigrant allies. The DPP, whose proposals include expelling immigrants whose children commit crimes, took two more seats. But at the same time the opposition Social Liberal Party almost doubled its support in a big victory that Social Liberal leader Marianne Jelved ascribed to her party”˜s calls for softer asylum laws.

Anders Fogh Rasmussen, the Danish prime minister who is seeking re-election in Tuesday’s general election, reiterated on Monday his commitment to the strict immigration regime that has become a hallmark of his first three years in office. The prime minister, who faces calls from minority parties to tighten the strict regime, said Denmark’s firm immigration policy was an example worth following. “It’s clear to me that other countries have followed, and will follow, our lead,” he said. His remarks came as Charles Clarke, the British interior minister, unveiled sweeping changes to UK immigration policy.

His government is also strongly pro-Israeli and pro-American:

Israel finds a defender in Denmark

Since Denmark has only a tiny Jewish community, Danish Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen can’t be accused of pandering to the Jewish vote when he launched a spirited defense of Israel on the campaign stump earlier this week. Rasmussen, head of a center-right coalition in Denmark that is pro-American, faces re-election on February 8, with polls showing he is comfortably leading the race. Denmark has some 500 troops in Iraq.
