Snip]The Danish Parliament has approved a new law that bans foreign governments from financing mosques in Denmark. The measure is aimed at preventing Muslim countries, particularly Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Turkey, from promoting Islamic extremism in Danish mosques and prayer facilities.
Denmark joins a growing list of European countries — including Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Switzerland — which have taken varying degrees of action to prevent foreign governments from financing the construction and upkeep of mosques on their territories.

The USA should be doing the same.......
Please. Money is fungible. Stupid is not.
There has got to be a way to remove constitutional protections from any ideology that calls for the murder or suppression of outsiders. Islam should be considered an insidious cult, not a religion.
We’ve got an infestation of these foreign financed dens of iniquity. Apparently no one thought it would be a good idea to stop islamic radicals from undercutting our domestic tranquility.
Stupid is..what stupid is.
Under the Constitution of the USA, there is no way to eliminate ideologies or ideas. And it is silly to even try.
This premise is based on the concept that ideas and free debate will not be suppressed; and that citizens are not fully retarded individuals.
People think church and state should just prohibit the US government from funding religion while foreign governments do it to us.
Finally there’s a country in Europe that gets it! You go, Danes! And thanks for inventing danish pastry.
That law has good intentions. But I’m guessing it would be quite easy to get around.
Now illegal: Saudi money —> donation to a Danish mosque
Saudi money —> to a Danish Muslim
—> donation to a front organization —> donation to a Danish mosque
No problemo!
It is an all encompassing political system of government.
It restricts all other religious traditions.
It was established by a conquering warlord.
There is death penalty for any non-muslim who’d dare enter the segregated city of Mecca. How many moderate muslims have ever spoken out against this?
COMMUNIST GOALS AS READ INTO THE CONGRESSIONAL RECORD, 1963
12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.
13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.
14. Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office.
15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.
16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.
17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers’ associations. Put the party line in textbooks.
18. Gain control of all student newspapers.
19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.
20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policymaking positions.
21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.
22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to “eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms.”
23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. “Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art.”
24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them “censorship” and a violation of free speech and free press.
25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, healthy.”
27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with “social” religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a “religious crutch.”
28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of “separation of church and state.”
29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.
30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the “common man.”
31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the “big picture.” Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.
32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture–education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.
33. Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.
denmark has a history of supporting liberal ideas. something serious must have caused denmark to do this...
“Under the Constitution of the USA, there is no way to eliminate ideologies or ideas. And it is silly to even try.”
The progressives seem to be doing a good job of it.
they never heard of Bit-Coin???
“Under the Constitution of the USA, there is no way to eliminate ideologies or ideas. And it is silly to even try.”
Then we should have fixed it, when that was possible. As far as I’m concerned, once a group advocates operating outside of our constitutional system (in this case, pushing for a parallel society, based on Sharia; in the case of Communism, pushing for an outright overthrow), then they should have been stopped.
As it is, no one stepped up to stop Communism after McCarthy was wrongly lambasted for trying...so the country is gone, they used our freedoms to defeat us. Very smart of them, in my opinion, at least.
AS far as I’m concerned, they can advocate for whatever they want. Redress of grievances and all that. But of course anyone who advocates for the abolition of the Bill of Rights should be laughed out of the town square. Or tarred and feathered. Or chased to the woods with pitchforks.
Well, it’s water under the bridge now. They outsmarted us and beat us using the freedoms that many gave blood to protect.
Sucks to lose!
