It is for several reasons one can say that there are too many Muslims in Denmark, wrote B.T., which is one of the very largest Danish media outlets, in its editorial last Wednesday.
This bears witness to a shift in mood among our brother people in the south, where the taboos are falling faster in the field of migration than they are in Norway.
Douglas Murray has several times stated that what determines what one can say about this topic in Europe’s different countries is how advanced multiculturalism with its shadow sides has become.
For the independent Danish Folketing representative Nadja Natalie Isaksen, a Shia Muslim Ashura procession with veiled women in Copenhagen appears to have filled the cup of tolerance. She reacts understandably to something that resembles Tehran after the revolution in 1979.
These displays of power are now seen in many European cities, and they all tell the same story: The curse on humanity called Islam is becoming increasingly insistent.
Despite a certain verbal toughness towards Islam and mass immigration, official Denmark has nevertheless taken Islam’s side, for example by criminalising the burning of Qurans.
But ordinary people see that Islam is an enemy. B.T. does not say exactly that outright, but the newspaper – which has remained a fairly popular tabloid – nevertheless does not shy away from a real debate.
The topic is not plucked straight out of thin air:
On 15 June, the Moderates’ political spokesperson, Mohammad Rona, sat down at the keyboard and posed the question on Facebook: Are there too many Muslims in Denmark?
B.T. presents a series of facts that point in the direction of an affirmative answer, primarily that many Muslims simply want a completely different society from what Denmark is:
For example, the Ministry of Justice’s 2020 survey on freedom of expression showed that 76% of Danish Muslims believe that criticism of Islam should be prohibited.
Jyllands-Posten was able in 2024 to publish an attitude survey in which 54% of Danish Muslims believed that the Quran’s instructions should be followed in full. 22% believed that the Quran should be the basis for all legislation in Denmark.
For the newspaper, it is completely obvious that this is a serious warning signal:
No one who thinks rationally can believe that it is a good idea to let a large group of people into Denmark, of whom so many hold attitudes that stand in diametrical opposition to our fundamental values. That would only be the case if one believes that we get a better society by having more conflicts.
B.T. then turns to the crime statistics and shows that Denmark could have been spared many offences:
Somalis, for example, commit 20 times as many rapes as ethnic Danes. Palestinians commit 11 times as many rapes.
Somalis commit 27 times more attempted murders than ethnic Danes. Palestinians commit 21 times as many attempted murders as ethnic Danes, and Pakistanis 10 times as many attempted murders.
This does not of course mean that there must be zero Muslims in Denmark, B.T. inserts for safety’s sake, before moving on to the socio-economic aspect:
In the latest publication «Immigrants’ and descendants’ net contribution to the public finances» from the Ministry of Finance, one can read that immigrants and descendants from Muslim countries net cost the state treasury 13 billion per year.
One could have mentioned many other things, notes B.T., but confines itself to this in order to conclude:
So there are, quite soberly, good reasons to answer yes to the question: Are there too many Muslims in Denmark?
Fifteen years ago, the then Conservative leader and later Prime Minister Erna Solberg compared the situation of Muslims in today’s Europe with the situation of European Jews in the 1930s.
There is something about the Norwegian power elite that often makes it diametrically wrong on important issues. With Islam we have got a new Nazism in Europe, and it is almost as antisemitic as the old Nazism was.
One now has to strain very hard not to see it, but that is precisely the effort being made in the circles of power where they prettify things for Ramadan.
Among ordinary people an awakening is underway, but it has not reached the power class. The sooner it is replaced, the better.
When 83 per cent want remigration of criminal and long-term unemployed foreigners from France, the ball is soon ready to be rolled over the goal line in that country. We Norwegians are hardly as quick.
