Denmark has finally come to its senses after a memorable period of chaos caused by mass Muslim migration.
Back in October, Denmark was already showing signs that it has had enough. The country was pushing for jail time for Sharia-preaching imams. Then just days ago, Jihad Watch reported that Denmark’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and Integration, Mattias Tesfaye, stated (based on bitter national experience) that “a large part of Islam today is represented by extremists.”
Now the country has adopted a new stance to correct its previous open-door immigration policy. Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen “criticised her predecessors for not making sufficiently strict demands on immigrants, such as maintenance requirements and the duty to adapt to Danish values. Now the number of immigrants must go down, otherwise Denmark may ‘lose its social cohesion’, Frederiksen said, arguing that it is already ‘under threat.'”
Immigration as a rule should always involve assimilation. Western leaders who do not recognize this obvious truth have demonstrated their commitment to identity politics as a priority over important issues such as national security, the economy and the well-being of all their citizens.
“Denmark Sets Aim at ‘Zero Asylum Seekers’, Promises Crackdown on Political Islam,” by Igor Kuznetsov, Sputnik, January 25, 2021:
At over 800,000, immigrants and their descendants account for some 14 percent of the Danish population of 5.8 million, with Turks, Syrians and Iraqis ranking among the most numerous immigrant communities.
The Danish Social Democrat government has now set new goal posts for its immigration policy. Ideally, Denmark’s new “zero vision” implies a full stop to asylum immigration.
Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said her ambition is for Denmark not to offer asylum to any refugees at all.
“That is our goal. We cannot make a promise of zero asylum seekers, but we can have it as a vision. We want a new asylum system, and we will do what we can to implement it,” Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said, as quoted by Ekstra Bladet.
The prime minister also criticised her predecessors for not making sufficiently strict demands on immigrants, such as maintenance requirements and the duty to adapt to Danish values.Now the number of immigrants must go down, otherwise Denmark may “lose its social cohesion”, Frederiksen said, arguing that it is already “under threat”.
In 2019, upon winning the general election, Frederiksen’s government said it would resume accepting refugees under the UN’s quota system after a three-year hiatus under the previous administration. However, the Social Democrats have generally pursued a tight immigration policy.
Last year, only 1,547 asylum seekers were registered in Denmark, the lowest number since 1998. For the sake of comparison, this is less than one-tenth of the 21,316 asylum seekers registered in Denmark at the height of the migrant crisis of 2015. A combination of the Covid-19 pandemic and Denmark’s rigorous rules and policies are considered to be factors in the low figure for 2020, the Immigration Ministry said earlier this week.
To crown Denmark’s new vision, Integration Minister Mattias Tesfaye singled out immigration from Muslim countries in particular as a major problem, announcing new measures to stop political Islam. Among other things, the government will settle with the country’s Muslim independent schools….
At over 800,000, immigrants and their descendants account for some 14 percent of the Danish population of 5.8 million. The most represented countries of origin within the Danish immigrant population are Turkey, Poland, Syria, Germany, Romania and Iraq….

‘Happy Denmark’ has decided to stay happy by keeping jihadists out of Denmark in future.
katherine says
As long as she still uses the term Political Islam she has no idea what should be done.
Grace says
Let’s pray this common sense approach to the invasion of Europe spreads like wildfire. Too late for Germany and Britain, I’m afraid but one can only hope the rest of the world is waking up. Many Muslims have joined the Caravans headed for Americas borders accepting the invitation from our now Czar. America is in great danger.

The elephant in the Danish room noticed, at last! But how long will it take for Jack Dorsey (Twitter) and Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook) to threaten withdrawal of services if the Danish carry out their policy? Big Tech backs Islamic jihad!
Rarely says
“Big Tech backs Islamic jihad”. Ridiculous assertion. Simply not true.
mortimer says
Reply to Rarely: partly agree. It is fair to say that Big Tech has shielded Islam from a GREAT DEAL of valid criticism. They have not exactly promoted jihadism. Big Tech is ignorant of the facts about jihadism … they don’t acknowledge the JIHAD is the SIXTH and MOST IMPORTANT PILLAR of Islam.
That is a serious BLIND SPOT in the minds of Big Tech oligarchs.
Infidel says
Rarely, I was banned from Twitter a few years ago for using the word ‘rapefugee’ in one of my tweets: y’know, the term used to describe muslim refugees in Europe who choose to rape the local populace. I have seen accounts of people w/ similar opinions disappear. We all know how Wiki covers islam. And I’ve seen other examples of Big Tech cracking down on anti-islamic opinion
It’s pretty easy to prove if one has been at the receiving end
Jon Sobieski says
I was banned from twitter for posting pics with koran hate verses.. Facebook too. No porn no threats just koran quotes with pics of muslims doing their thing. Not acceptable.

I think that Facebook, Instagram, Twitter should be closed for ever
Mount Zion says
First France with his tough stance on Islam after what happened to Samuel Pathy , then recently England with trying to deal with extremism and forced conversions of non-muslim inmates in prisons across the country and now Denmark with his new immigration policy . Do I sense a pattern here? Are european countries awakening slowly one by one ? Or is it just a mere coincidence ,which will drown pretty soon under accusations of intolerance and islamophobia, that three european countries dare to make a move against Islam ?
Zhentil says
Don’t count those chickens yet. The new EU army might put a stop to this herresy and force change on Denmark when it is up and running. Not like Germany hasn’t done that before, only this time it won’t just be their troops so it will be OK.
katherine says
Maybe not entirely German, but Muslim soldiers will form the bulk of a European army, and we know how they will enforce the rules – Sharia rules.
gravenimage says
Muslims make up about 5% of the European population–is there any indication that the EU army is going to be primarily made up of Muslims?
katherine says
The Muslim dregs and jihadi opportunists will be pressed to volunteer plus the fact that the red-and-greens already in power will choose to have such a structure – unless it can be shown that EU commanders all down the line are political conservatives.
These rats may only be 5% but the havoc they are allowed to create in the continent indicates they are already punching way above their weight. What better instrument will there be to prepare the final solution for Europeans ?
katherine says
Almost forgot – remember the Daily Mail coverage sometime back of the Royal Navy specifically training more Muslim submariners for the sake of Diversity and Inclusiveness ?
Won`t take many of them to demolish a British Trident and its entire complement.
gravenimage says
Katherine, I am *not* saying that Muslims in the military and security are not a danger–in fact, I have argued many times that they are a danger. I have just not read anything that would indicate that Muslims would make up the bulk of any EU army.
For instance, Muslims make up about 10% of the military in France, and there are 440 Musims in the British army out of a force of 88,500.
RichardL says
Macron will do nothing. The UK puts people in prison for insulting islam. Denmark is very different: they closed their borders a few years ago and their social democrats are exactly that: social democrats. Unlike Hungary, Poland and the Czech Republic, Denmark will see no pushback from the EUSSR because if they’d leave, the EUSSR would end there and then. My hope is Salvini. Has anyone noticed how every single report about Italy NEVER mentions him?
RichardL says
no pattern: Macron will never go beyond words, Merkel wants to destroy Germany with islam, the UK is ruled by sharia, Belgians simply don’t care. Denmark has always been different: closed borders in 2015. They have a fighting chance.

Mount Zion,

I hope from the bottom of my heart and soul that you are right!
Raja says
A relief for a part of the world. Hope it is an enlightenment to the dark world of Left and its cronies. Islam in any form is a nuisance to the world and a challenge to any state. There is nothing like religious islam as it is full of hatred and genocidal techniques.
JimJFox says
Hey Buraq! Will you take me on a night journey to visit Allah in the seventh heaven?
I’d like to stop off at the ‘far mosque’ if you don’t mind…
But seriously, a New Dawn is breaking; the light of truth is beginning to shine on Islam
& Illuminate at least some European governments. Whether it can penetrate the dark
spaces inhabited by the BBC, Guardian & the UK ‘WOKE’ community of dunderheads
is doubtful.

You can’t solve a problem until you know what the problem is. Looks like Denmark is waking up. One can only hope.

americanpatriot says
Great news of what we should do regarding these fake refugees or warriors of Allah who are trying to conquer non-Muslim lands. Most of our leaders of non-Islamic world are still ignorant of real and hateful Islam and Muslim plots to conquer non-Islamic countries by migration and outbreeding the local populace. It is not a time to ignore what is going on with these so-called Muslim refugees. There are no large scale Buddhist refugees, no Hindu nor Jew nor Christian refugees who are trying to invade but only Muslim refugees carrying out their holiest religious duty of hijra (migration into non-Islamic lands for the sake of Islam and Allah for long-term domination).
Raja says
So true American Patriot…
mortimer says
The counter-jihad has become the mainstream in Denmark.
This return to nationalism and traditional values is moving Westward and will soon hit the UK and the Netherlands as well.
Globalism is having its last hurrah … they know that people are massively turning against them and they are worried that they are losing.
Globalism may seem to be dominant in the US at the moment, but wait and see … all is not well for them.

Amen

Yeah, mortimer, “all is not well for Americans”, especially now that Biden in president.
Palestinians and other crap are already poised to gain strength.

As long as an election can be rigged, Globalism will survive.
Don McKellar says
TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE. Unless you start having mass deportations, there is no hope for Denmark. Also, as any Jihad Watch reader can tell you, there is no such thing as “political Islam” because Islam is built-in political.
Jesper says
Zero ?
Denmark could take in thousands of refugees every year, if they were all christians.
gravenimage says
Agree.
Christpher Watson says
With 800,000 immigrants and a Danish population of 5m they are already finished. Within 20 years they will have a larger Muslim population than Danish.
Don McKellar says
True. Without immediate mass deportations, they are finished.
Ole Pederson says
Wow.
This lady looks almost exactly like the conservative “Alternative für Deutschland” party’s house leader Alice Weidel in Germany’s parliament, who regularly is chastised by practically all other party members and voters for being “Nazi witch”, “racist”, “right-wing”, “anti-progessive”, “Islamophobic”, and – remember this! – “homophobic,”, although she is
– female
– white
– is the foster mother of migrant kids
– and lives with a woman
Keep on going, Denmark!
tim gallagher says
Denmark may be joining the other sensible European countries, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Poland. I really hope that this is the beginning of an awakening throughout Europe, and every other part of the civilised, western world, and the door finally gets slammed on the Muslim enemy invaders. About bloody time. Not letting any Muslims in is a good goal to aim for and countries that implement it and avoid all those problems barbaric Muslims bring wherever they go (terrorism, rape gangs, lots of crime of every type) will not regret having done so. Good on you, Denmark.
DazzleMe says
+1 Tim
tim gallagher says
Thanks for the +1, DazzleMe. I have been convinced for quite a while that Hungary and the other Visegrad bloc countries are showing the rest of the western world the right approach to the Muslim invaders by slamming the door on them, so I think it is a definite step in the right direction when other countries, such as Denmark, wake up and aim to implement the same policies.

Jon Sobieski says
This goes totally against the EU Committee for the Destruction of Europe. Wonder what the EU’s Ministry of Truth will say about that.
tim gallagher says
Jon, I like the name you have given the EU mob, the committee for the Destruction of Europe. It seems a very accurate title to give them. They do seem to be all about the idiotic globalist dream and open borders and they do seem to be intent on destroying Europe. I think that they keep telling Hungary and the other Visegrad bloc countries to take Muslims in, don’t they. gravenimage, I do hope that Denmark’s news attitude catches on all over Europe. I think it should have happened ages ago.
Raja says
Tim, I agree this is too little too late. The stupid EU destroyers’ agenda is still having the upper hand. They are “comfortably” marching to situations as in NIGERIA, Kenya, Sudan, Congo and other nations where Muslim populace forms a huge chunk, something more than 30 percent. These nations are in civil war like situation and almost all Muslims have allied with the jihadists including the Arabs and the Islam whining nations. I don’t see any scope for a just world as long as Islam continues to kill by hook or by crook.

Giacomo Latta says
Bleeding hearts want unlimited immigration because they are focused only on the deplorable conditions that others are living in despite the fact that they are self-realized. Where I live there is a shortage of medical professionals and teachers and yet these libs are quick to worsen the situation by supporting unfettered immigration. These immigrants are not crawling with medical or teaching professionals. It is nice to see Denmark is finally capable of seeing and processing the obvious.
James Lincoln says
Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen definitely has the right approach in regards to migrants.
Wonder how this is going to go over with the European Commission…
OLD GUY says
Denmark, please send a copy of your migration policy to Press. Joe Biden. Oh I know we are a country of migrants. Thats like saying we are a country of wood burners for heat as we once were and we should not change to solar or other fuels because of what we once did. We also at one time allowed slavery, does that mean we shouldn’t have changed that policy?
Having open borders at this time in history is a vary dangerous thing for any country. The muslims, China, Russia and others want to destroy the American society, Why in the HELL would you now open our borders to our ENEMIES and those who want to take advantage of the American TAX PAYER.
James Sang says
That is a good policy! I would like Denmark to have a law that if you are an immigrant and you commit a crime, then you can be deported back to your country up to 15 years after your citizenship to Denmark!
