We must show our opposition to Islam, says Danish queen
By Hannah Cleaver in Berlin
Queen Margrethe II of Denmark has called on the country "to show our opposition to Islam", regardless of the opprobium such a stance provokes abroad.
Her comments further undermined the image of Denmark as a liberal haven for those seeking a new life in northern Europe.
The Danish government has already been accused of fuelling xenophobia by introducing measures which effectively closed the country to asylum seekers.
But in overtly political passages from an official biography published yesterday Queen Margrethe makes comments certain to complicate her nation's relationship with Muslims.
She said: "We are being challenged by Islam these years - globally as well as locally. It is a challenge we have to take seriously. We have let this issue float about for too long because we are tolerant and lazy.
"We have to show our opposition to Islam and we have to, at times, run the risk of having unflattering labels placed on us because there are some things for which we should display no tolerance."
"And when we are tolerant, we must know whether it is because of convenience or conviction."
The Queen, who turns 65 tomorrow and has reigned since 1972, wields no political power but does occasionally comment on political issues.
Denmark has seriously limited immigration in the past three years and the anti-immigrant Danish People's Party, an ally of the centre-Right government, has pushed through laws making it harder to bring in foreign spouses or qualify for asylum.
The queen told her biographer, Annelise Bistrup, apparently referring to Muslim fundamentalists: "There is something impressive about people for whom religion imbues their existence, from dusk to dawn, from cradle to grave."
She said she understood how disaffected young Muslims might find refuge in religion. This tendency should be fought by encouraging Muslims to learn Danish so they could integrate better, she said.
"We should not be content with living next to each other. We should rather live together."
Someone said to the Prophet, "Pray to God against the idolaters and curse them." The Prophet replied, "I have been sent to show mercy and have not been sent to curse." (Muslim)

Aslamualikum Warahmatu ALLAH Wabarakatoh
BismALLAH Arhman Arhem,
" O you who believe! Take not as (your) Bitanah (advisors, protectors, etc.) those outside your religion, (pagans, jews, christians, etc.) since they will not fail to do their best to corrupt you. Hatred flows out of their mouths and what they hide in their chests is far worse..." (Al-Imraan,18)
" They only try to please you by paying lips-service to you but their hearts are against you..." (Al-Tawbah,8-9)
"Fight them, and ALLAH will punish them by your hands, cover them with shame, help you (to victory) over them, heal the breasts of the believers..." (AL-Tawbah,14)

Al-Ma'idah (The Table Spread) [5:33]
Innama jazao allatheena yuhariboona Allaha warasoolahu wayasAAawna fee alardi fasadan an yuqattaloo aw yusallaboo aw tuqattaAAa aydeehim waarjuluhum min khilafin aw yunfaw mina alardi thalika lahum khizyun fee alddunya walahum fee alakhirati AAathabun AAatheemun
5:33 The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger, and strive with might and main for mischief through the land is: execution, or crucifixion, or the cutting off of hands and feet from opposite sides, or exile from the land: that is their disgrace in this world, and a heavy punishment is theirs in the Hereafter;

You know they are making mischeif and they know it too but just using freedom of speech as an excuse!
There was absolutely no need to print those cartoons!
(29:2-3) Do men think they will be left alone on saying, "We believe", and they will not be tested? For sure we will test them as we have tested those who came before them, to show (them) the truthful of the honest and the liars in their falsehood."

Why do people keep bringing up racism? This whole issue has nothing to do with racism. If you think it does, then I suggest you check a dictionary right now.
People, this looks like a major escalation of the "clash of civilizations", and to be quite frank, imbecilic talk about "racism" is not going to help matters.
