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.

World dominion through immigration.
If muslims do not want to join the rest of Danish society the alternative will be the proverbial man on a horse option (i.e. fascism) to do it by force. Last time this happened in Europe, 20 million people lost their lives.
The Europeans are in a pickle wouldn't you say?
Dear Abdul Latif, can I carry my message of Christianity to others in any Muslim country? Why should the native Christian population in Europe expect to have any more rights when the Muslims become the majority than Christians have in any majority Muslim country today?
Please don't use your comments to post more than the excerpted amount allowed. Thanks.
Why is it that the Muslims remind me of the Borg.
"You will be assimilated"
Yes, but at least they can pride themselves that they aren't like those Dirty Americans while their cities, culture and civilization burn around them.
"If muslims do not want to join the rest of Danish society the alternative will be the proverbial man on a horse option (i.e. fascism) to do it by force. Last time this happened in Europe, 20 million people lost their lives."
It appears that Islamic expansion through western Europe through jihaad is an intractable fact. And as you point out, Europeans have been known to play the fascist card. It's not a long walk from left wing socialism to right wing socialism.
Let's hope that future U.S. federal governments choose to isolate the UN far more than we are know, and let the Euros sort this out for themselves.
To Islam - Just Say NO!
Translation, 'bide your time'.
Muslims do not want to join ANY society. They only want society to join them. When they say "religion of peace," what they mean is "peace only under Islam."
Dear Petrosius, you infidel, no, your Christianity is an inferior religion and you will not spread it an Muslim countries. We will exterminate, convert, or subdue you, dhimmis.
Yours in Allah, Abdul
Sorry, I have no interest in being a Muslim. Let me repeat that: sorry, I have no interest in being a Muslim. And one of the things I like about this country is that I am not required to follow someone's religious precepts. And if Muslims don't like that, I strongly suggest they try another country, instead of screwing up this one.
If these people did not want to assimilate into Western Society, why did they leave their motherland? They were'nt asked to come into Christian countries. They should have stayed where they were, if that's they way they want to live.
Anti-Americanism may be chic and popular at wine & cheeses or intellectual get-togethers among white secular europeans. (and America!)That's because Americans won't kill you in the middle of the street for hating their country or insulting their christian faith. Hating America is an easy intellectual position (if you can call it that) because there won't be a rebuttal. Hating Islamic Jihadists on the other hand will result in your death. Michael Moore and all those limousine Libs will bash their country first because it is the safest intellectual position one can take. (If one's own physical state is the only thing you care to protect) There is no bravery in bashing America but there is in donning a uniform and fighting Islamic fascists in Iraq.
God bless the men & women in Uniform
I believe they ARE asked to GO to Christian countries by their leaders so they can get a large enough population so they can start taking over as they have done in other places.
It is time for the Europeans to get out of the cafe's and discos and deal with this mess.
"I believe integrating a large number of Muslims can't be done. It's an illusion," said Martin Henriksen, a 25-year-old legislator for the People's Party. "They don't have the desire to blend in with other people. We've been a Christian country for 1,000 years and we are the oldest monarchy in the world. I want to get married and have a lot of kids who can walk around in a society not influenced by Muslims."
Mogens Camre, a member of the Danish People's Party and the European Parliament, said last year. "Islam is threatening our future…. That faith belongs to a dark past, and its political aims are as destructive as Nazism was."
I see there are a few clear-eyed Danes who see the looming threat and don't like it.
And they will be just as unprepared and just as lame the next time it comes around, and the next.
Mogens gets it.
