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.

Norwegians paid Denmark enough "visits" that if her husband doesn't have some Norwegian ancestry it can only be if his family was out of the country for the last thousand years!
Hell, I got married in Denmark, loved the country while I was there. Nice to see they're doing well. BTW, they produce the best dairy products in Europe, the butter is perfection.
I doubt the United States sees 100 cars a year torched and we've got 6 times the population!
Sad thing is at this very minute the Saudi royal trash pervert mooslimes are on the phone giving our President and other "leaders" their marching orders. It will be a cold day in hell before the USA will take this attitude toward the murdering rapist religion of peace. We must be ready to let loose with all hellfire when we finally come to our collective senses and realize that satan's evil islimeist onslaught is in effect at this very time!!!
God Save the Queen!!!!
She comes from an honorable family. During the World War II occupation of Denmark by the Nazis, the King of Denmark wore the yellow Star of David to be in solidarity with the Jewish citizens of Denmark.
The men of Europe are not known as "Euroweenies" for no reason... Semper Fi
What's the matter, doesn't the current NYSSC believe in stare decisis?
That was Queen Gertrude. This is Queen Margrethe.
She gets nothing but praises from me. Perhaps Canada should stop letting so many damn so called asylum seekers come in.
Or Eurotwits....
Thank you...
With allies like you, no wonder some Europeans act the way they do.
For the record: I believe America has been the light for the free world for a long time. Still is....But, less so.
Have a good weekend,
Cheers.

I got "connections"...
And they didn't turn the Jews over to the nazis.
It's a marvelous country. Spend some time in Copenhagen then rent a car. Everything else is within 3 hrs drive.
