Denmark Cracks Down on “Parallel Societies”

The Danish government has announced a package of new proposals aimed at fighting “religious and cultural parallel societies” in Denmark. A cornerstone of the plan includes capping the number of “non-Western” immigrants and their descendants dwelling in residential neighborhoods. The aim is to preserve social cohesion in the country by encouraging integration and discouraging ethnic and social self-segregation.
The announcement comes just days after Denmark approved a new law banning the foreign funding of mosques in the country. The government has also recently declared its intention significantly to limit the number of people seeking asylum in Denmark.
Denmark, which already has some of the most restrictive immigration policies in Europe, is now at the vanguard of European efforts to preserve local traditions and values in the face of mass migration, runaway multiculturalism and the encroachment of political Islam.
