Imagine that! Muslims feeling unwelcome in Denmark

Let's have a good cry for the poor, oppressed Muslim "refugees" and asylum-seekers who weren't smart enough to stop in Angela Merkel's Germany but went on through to Denmark, the home of the happiest people in the world. (See "Why the Danes are the happiest people in the world", WWW 17/3/16.)

Seems that growing numbers of the followers of the Prophet are reporting verbal abuse, "exclusion" and "hate crimes" since Denmark's mainstream political parties began adopting the anti-immigrant policies of the Danish People's Party. To win back increasingly Islamophobic voters, both the ruling centre-right Liberal Party and the opposition Social Democrats are saying... now... that a tough stance in immigration is needed to protect Denmark's cherished welfare system and to integrate (if possible) the "refugees" and other migrants already in the country.

The number of immigrants (and their numerous descendants) from Middle Eastern and African shitholes who have allegedly experienced discrimination because of their ethnic background rose to 48% last year from 43% two years earlier, according to the Danish National Integration Barometer.

Although government statistics don't make any connection between racist incidents and the tone of the immigration debate, the fact is that the number of racially or religiously motivated hate crimes registered by Danish police jumped to 365 in 2017 from 228 the year before.

"If people are ready and willing to be part of Danish society and want to contribute to it, then we invite them to become part of one of the best-functioning societies in the world. But we need to be able to discuss openly if there are problems with groups of people," said a spokesthingy for the Liberal Party, citing the large number of immigrant women from the Middle East who have not found work in Denmark.

About 5.5% of Denmark's population now identify as Muslims. That's a slightly higher proportion than in other countries of western Europe. Large numbers of them arrived in the tidal wave of "refugees" who washed ashore in Europe in 2015. Earlier this year, the government passed a law that would mean more refugees could be repatriated, the latest move to discourage non-western immigration. See "New Danish law: refugees will no longer become immigrants!", WWW 23/2/19.

The law was passed with support from the anti-immigration Danish People's Party, a key ally of the minority government, and the Social Democrats, the country's biggest party, which has hitherto had a softer stance on immigration. It means residence permits for refugees will be temporary, there will be a limit on the number of family reunifications, and a cut in benefits for immigrants.

The Liberal Party said lower benefits would encourage people to work. Less than half of the "refugees" who have lived in Denmark for more than three years were employed by the end of 2018. However, only 19% of Muslim women had jobs compared to 57% of men. But while employment has risen (at the end of 2015 it was only 20%), assimilation of immigrants has not kept pace. Government stats show that more young men descended from non-Western immigrants commit crimes than Danes. [Do we keep those kind of statistics here? Ed.]

The Social Democrats, notionally even more liberal than the Liberals, have repeatedly said they want to limit the number refugees. Party leader Mette Frederiksen said earlier this month, "You are not a bad person, just because you are worried about immigration." The shift to the right by Denmark's mainstream parties has parallels elsewhere in Europe. But it may come too late not just for the liberals but for the Danish People's Party itself, which is facing competition from far-right parties the New Right and Hard Line, the latter a new grouping that wants Islam banned and Muslims deported. "Conservatives" take note!

Note from Ed.: I was looking for a "Mohammed cartoon" to accompany this article, and clicked on the bookmark I had saved for a blog called "Creeping Sharia", which was hosted by WordPress. Guess what? It has been removed "for violation of our Terms of Service". Freedom of speech is being restricted a little more every day, even in America, where it's supposed to be protected under the First Amendment to the Constitution.

New Danish law: refugees will no longer become immigrants!

As Walt told you in "Why the Danes are the happiest people in the world" (WWW 17/3/16), the blonde, blue-eyed people of Denmark have, almost alone among western Europeans, discouraged dark, brown-eyed "refugees" from the shithole countries from entering their little country. There are many more cows than asylum-seekers in Denmark, and the Danes like it that way. That's why they're happy!

The Danes are much happier than their neighbours to the south -- the Germans -- who have been forced by the barking mad Angela Merkel to accept nearly two million asylum-seekers, who are now settling in nicely, apart from a few terrorist attacks, mass rapes, patrols of Sharia law police. Having got their noses in the German tent, the "refugees" now intend to get all of themselves in... forever... leaving real Germans in the minority. Although there are only a few thousand migrants in Denmark, the prospect of the same thing happening in their country is starting to worry the Danes.

To keep Denmark for the Danes, the country's government, with the assistance of the right-wing Danish People's Party and (surprisingly) the Social Democrats, has passed a law which is described as a "paradigm shift" in Danish refugee and asylum policy. Under the new policy, refugees should be sent home when conditions in their countries of origin are deemed safe enough. The integration allowance -- a financial handout to the newcomers -- will be reduced, and opportunities for them to bring their large families for "family re-unions" will be further limited. As well, residence permits will become temporary as the default, and it will become easier for the government to withdraw or not extend them.

As Danish Finance Minister Kristian Jensen put it, Denmark will no longer have a system where "refugees become immigrants." The new legislation is aimed at drastically reducing the number of refugees who stay in Denmark indefinitely by shifting the focus from integration of refugees to sending them back to their home shitholes. The message to immigrant wannabes is clear: Don't get too comfortable here; you're not going to be staying long!

Immigration and Integration Minister Inger Støjberg of the centrist Venstre party stressed that it is yet to be seen how many refugees will be sent home as a result of the new legislation, but promised a concrete effect. The bill was backed by the right-wing anti-immigrant Danish People's Party, as well as Denmark's largest opposition party, the Social Democrats, who previously criticised parts of it, such as the reduction of social welfare benefits for people who have been granted asylum. The socialists' immigration spokesthingy said he supported the general shift towards a temporary status for all refugees.

People's Parties on the rise. Are you in?

Countries with red-and-white flags have a propensity, it seems, to welcome "People's Parties", to stand up for the rights of their own citizens over those of outsiders. Switzerland has the Swiss People's Party. Austria has the Austrian People's Party. And, as reported here earlier this month, Maxime "Mad Max" Bernier has found the People's Party of Canada/Parti Populaire du Canada. (Notice the beautiful flag in the picture.) At least two of Walt's agents have joined. If you're a Canuck and you think unity is more important than diversity, do ye likewise!

Where were we... Yes, Switzerland, Austria, Canada... and let's not forget Denmark, whose Danish People's Party leads the alliance opposed to the Social Democrats, and has already been effective in getting the country's parliament to pass a motion, in February of 2017, calling on the pinko government to reduce the number of asylum-seekers and "family reunification" migrants. See "'Ethnic cleansing' of Europeans opposed by Danish parliament", WWW 17/2/17,

Also present in the Danish parliament is the Conservative People's Party. And now there's another one, even further to the right, called the New Right [Politicians who tell it like it is! Ed.], led by a woman [obviously. Ed.] named Pernille Vermund. Here's her pic. Notice the beautiful flag.)

Would you vote for her? The New Right received 4.6% per cent of votes in a recent election, and an opinion poll from Norstat shows that the party is now larger than the two bourgeois parties, the Conservative People's Party and the Liberal Alliance. They have almost doubled their support since August. Why is the popularity of the New Right growing so fast? Check out this statement from Ms Vermund.

The New Right have been passionately critical of the Danish People's Party, which they say is not conservative or populist, but leftist on economics, and "confusing" on issues of immigration, much like Canada's so-called Conservative Party. The New Right has put immigration policy at the heart of its platform. They want to see a total stop to asylum-seekers, with migrants already in country being expelled at their first criminal conviction.

They also want to introduce the requirement that foreigners support themselves and not suck off the government tit. "Muslim welfare migrants" should be deported, they say. How novel! "The policy currently underway does not solve the problems. They get worse. It will not get any better. Our goal is to reverse the trend before it is too late."
