Unsurprising that stricter Danish rules give fewer Muslims citizenship: immigration minister

From the Danish edition of The Local

Denmark’s minister for immigration Inger Støjberg says she is not surprised that fewer Muslims have been approved for Danish citizenship since the government introduced stricter rules in 2015. According to research carried out by newspaper Politiken, 70 percent of new Danish citizenships in 2014 were to people from primarily Muslim countries. That figure has fallen drastically to 21 percent this year.

Støjberg said the figures show that the curbs, which her ministry was responsible for implementing, have had the desired effect. She added she would begin talks over potential further curbs in the coming week.

“There is no doubt that this is because the demands have been increased. For example, the language requirement, being able to provide for oneself, staying away from criminality and passing certain tests. . . In my view there is no doubt at all that it is much easier to integrate a Christian American than a Muslim Somali . . . It is clear that if you come from other parts of the world, you have to exert yourself somewhat harder to, for example, learn the language . . . I have tightened up [on citizenship] once, and a new set of curbs is now on its way. People that have committed gang crime must not be allowed citizenship. . . The aim of tough rules is to make Danish citizenship something to strive for,”

The citizenship rules introduced in 2015 by the then-Liberal government with the support of Denmark’s other right wing parties included more stringent language demands, financial autonomy, a higher score in the citizenship test and stricter rules relating to criminal records.

  1. Excellent news. I hope that the new set of curbs will result in an even steeper drop-off in the numbers of mohammedans getting a toehold in Denmark.
    One hopes that Niccolai Sennels’ useful book ‘Among Criminal Muslims’ and his other perceptive articles are circulating ever more widely, and are finding their way into the hands of members of the Danish People’s Party and other parties that are beginning to get a clue.
    Bottom line is this: Mohammedans are not aspiring citizens; they are colonists with the mindset of ruthless *invaders* – indeed, the mindset of *slave-raiders*. They aspire to *conquer* and, having conquered, to *rule*, ruinously, cruelly, savagely. The fewer Mohammedans there are in Denmark, the better-off Denmark will be.
    Got Muslims? Got mosques? … got JIhad.
    THAT is the slogan that could profitably be translated into multiple languages – not only European languages, but the various official languages of India, and into Filipino, and Thai, and any number of sub-saharan African languages, and into the Spanish and Portuguese of Latin America, and circulated, far and wide.
