COPENHAGEN — Right-wing politicians consider Omar Marzouk a menace. Muslims accuse him of blasphemy for pasting Osama bin Laden's image onto women's underwear. The "only ethnic comedian" in Denmark, as he likes to call himself, Marzouk provokes all sides but senses that audiences are increasingly touchy these days.
"Society is more radical," he says, sitting in a cafe in an autumn dusk. "You have the Al Qaeda movement preaching that Muslims can't exist in Western culture. And in this country you have the Danish People's Party telling Muslims, 'You're different and we can only accept you if you're a Dane.' These voices are actually pulling the same way: toward radicalism."
Hate screeds are rattling against this Scandinavian nation's aura of serenity. A Muslim publisher with suspected ties to the Al Qaeda terrorist network was recently jailed for allegedly inciting jihad and distributing videotapes of beheadings. A right-wing radio host reacted by saying that Muslims should be expelled from Western Europe, "or you exterminate the fanatical Muslims, which would mean killing a substantial population of Muslim immigrants."
Such incendiary cases, although exceptional in Denmark, raise fears that if Muslim integration can't succeed in the most liberal of Western nations, it might not be able to flourish in more conservative ones.
With cars burning across France and Islamic radicals going underground in Britain, Europe is reeling from the anger of Muslim communities that for decades have existed as parallel universes. Terrorist bombings and riots have sparked fears on the continent and raised questions about its hallowed ideal of cultural tolerance. Muslims complain that tensions over terrorism have turned them into convenient symbols for conservative politicians pushing anti-immigration policies.

"we are the oldest monarchy in the world"
Well, I thought Japan is counted as the oldest monarchy in the world. If this guy doesn't want to "get influenced" by muslims, maybe he can emigrate to Antarctica. And what's left of the monarchies anyway, only food for celebrity magazines.
Best regards,
a "Scandinavian"
As son as there is a society worth looting down there, the Muslims will go there too
When he says "a society not influenced by Muslims" I think he means a society where it's safe to make fun of pedophilic caravan robbers like "Mad Mo" (piss be upon him)
"World dominion through immigration."
Very true...
Islam gets its foot in the door, whining about being mistreated....all the while, intimidating members of other religion into conversion under the threat of death...until they have a majority...then the real killing begins and the real face of islam shows that it does not allow other "religions".
In France today, we see the future for the remainder of the world unless civilized people unite to destroy this disease called islam.
Yes, they are not like the Bad Americans, who respond with force to chaos. (Novel concept). Rather, they are 'peaceful' and 'meek' as they challenge us to be. Pretty effective/ NOT. Idiots.
"If these people did not want to assimilate into Western Society, why did they leave their motherland?"
I'm sure there are many answers to that question, but one answer may be their social programs. Free medical care, unemployment checks from the government etc.. I lived there for 2 years in the mid-90's. At that time, and it is still probably the case, women were paid a monthly check for having a baby there. I think the intent was to try to raise the Danish population. However, they paid everyone (including my American self) every month. It was not a small amount either. They even tried paying me when I moved back to the U.S.! (We corrected their error)
In the long form is the "Religion of Peace of the Grave".
