It is good that we are finally seeing some common sense discourse on immigration policies from various European countries. Denmark’s largest opposition party has just come out saying that the country should differentiate its immigration policies depending on religion. Specifically, they are calling for tougher immigration policies for Muslims and non-Western immigrants.
Denmark’s largest opposition party, Venstre, is calling for the nation to differentiate its immigration policies based on religion.
Venstre’s political spokeswoman Inger Støjberg wrote an op-ed published in Berlingske on Monday in which she said that it should be more difficult for non-Western immigrants with Muslim backgrounds to come to Denmark.
“It is not necessary to set the same requirements for everyone, because as a general rule there is a big difference in the ability and will to integrate between a Christian American or Swede and a Muslim Somali or Pakistani,” she wrote.
Støjberg said it was important to talk frankly about immigration issues.
