Press Release
Democratic Ideological Screening and Demonization of Muslims

On October 22, 2025, it was reported in several media outlets that the Danish Parliament's Immigration and Naturalisation Committee had refused to grant citizenship to a named Muslim man due to his Islamic values. Despite the man fulfilling all the stringent requirements for Danish citizenship, a majority in the committee has thus decided that it is incompatible with Danish citizenship to "stand for values that are in direct contradiction to ours." The Social Democrats, who, as always, are fishing in troubled Islamophobic waters in a desperate attempt to soften the inevitable and imminent electoral setbacks, have even used their official Facebook page to single out this Muslim man with the claim that he "hates Danish values and our country."

​This decision is yet another clear-cut example that Muslims in this country are met with special requirements—not merely to obey the law like all other citizens—but to kneel before the failed "liberal," secular democracy and renounce their Islamic values. However, it does not stop at special requirements. For the government goes a step further in a populist appeal to the inner beast that parliamentary politicians have spent decades cultivating in parts of the population, where the fear and hatred born of ignorance have become a decisive factor in voting behaviour. They thus falsely portray the practicing, value-conscious Muslim as a threat to society, and his values as dangerous, hateful, and subversive.

​Politicians specifically refer to the fact that the Muslim in question advocates for Sharia, which is the term for the totality of Islamic laws and rules of life—something every Muslim adheres to. This is not a crime, but a sanction solely based on a Muslim's adherence to the Quran and the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad, may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him.

​What will be next? In what other fields can it be expected that the secular inquisition, with this decision as a precedent, will henceforth interrogate and sanction Muslims who have committed no criminal act?

​Liberal democracy is undergoing a catastrophic value crisis. The Parliament in general, and the government led by the Social Democrats specifically, have long since lost all credibility. They have failed to turn the tide with both failed policies and empty promises. The population realizes that the system first and foremost serves the interests of the economic elite at home, while the Danish course in global affairs is mostly determined by which way the USA wants the tail to wag.

​The Social Democrats and the Parliament's Immigration and Naturalisation Committee have no justification whatsoever to either problematize or punish Muslims for naturally advocating for the Islamic Sharia. They are in no position to lecture Muslims about values after 2 years of genocide in Palestine committed with Danish weapon components against a Muslim civilian population. Islamic values are far superior to such genocidal, misanthropic "values," and unlike secular, liberal values, Islamic values rest on true evidence and a solid foundation that overcomes every challenge.

​It is not practicing Muslims and the values of Islam that pose a threat to the world and Danish society, but rather the unscrupulous, hate-mongering career politicians who have been allowed to lead the country with their corrupt "values."
