News:
On the 4th of February a new Danish survey was published. It stated that half of the Danes felt that there has to be a limit to the amount of Muslims, and every fourth Dane thinks that the total number of Muslims in Denmark should not exceed 1-5 percent of the population. The Danish Peoples Party (PP) thinks that this is reasonable. The PP do not want to set a particular limit, but states that the limit has already been reached.
Comment:
Such surveys are rather disturbing, but far from unique in Denmark or in Europe in general. Recently there has been many cases in Denmark, where ordinary Danes express their desire to bomb mosques, deport, torture and even kill Muslims. When one of these people was asked if he really meant it, he confirmed and added that he hated Muslims, but that he never knew one. This irrational Islamophobia does however not come out of the blue air, but has been grown and driven for decades by Danish politicians and compliant media who portray negative stereotypes.
This has been done to legitimize the foreign policy and the uncritical participation in American wars in the Muslim world. At the same time, it is a desperate attempt to keep people away from considering Islam as an alternative. Fear is the only barrier and method they have left, since they have failed intellectually to defend their view on life and values.
This desperate battle is however already lost. If the number of Muslims is to be no more than 5 percent it means that the number of Muslims in Denmark has to stay as it is, and that is impossible. As the only country in the world, they are trying to differentiate the immigration on basis of religion, but that will not help them. The mere birthrate, however low, will most likely increase the percentage of Muslims, but that is far from their only concern.
One of their biggest concerns is the high number of native Danes who choose to enter Islam each week to the extent that whole families are embracing Islam. There are no official numbers, but Islamic organizations estimate that the number is 500 each year, and the correct number is, Thanks to Allah سبحانه وتعالى, probably much higher. It is estimated that the number of “Danish” Muslims is approximately 6000 and rising, which is quite impressing in a country with a population of only 5.6 million, and where the call to Islam is relatively new.
The new generation of Muslims who grew up in this country, and who master the language are very active, determined and focused on spreading Islam to a native people that are in dire need of savior from a void, destructive western culture. The hateful politicians and their followers will have to suffocate in their anger, because the number is only going to rise and that with an even faster rate. This increasing part of the native population, not only functions as an effective accelerator in spreading Islam, but will eventually also constitute the spearhead of the coming Khilafah according to the method of the Prophet.
It is about time that politicians and others, who try stopping Islam, realize that it is like stopping the sun from shining.
يُرِيدُونَ أَن يُطْفِئُوا نُورَ اللَّهِ بِأَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَيَأْبَى اللَّهُ إِلَّا أَن يُتِمَّ نُورَهُ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْكَافِرُونَ
“They want to extinguish the light of Allah with their mouths, but Allah refuses except to perfect His light, although the disbelievers dislike it.”
