Increased Islamic Influence in European Nations

[Nurvingiel]

Similar views can be heard across traditionally tolerant Scandinavia - and no longer just from the populist rightwing party's such as Pia Kjaersgaard's People's Party in Denmark. The centre-right Government of Anders Fogh Rasmussen, has equipped Denmark with Europe's toughest curbs on immigration, largely aimed at people from Muslim countries. In Sweden, where anti-Muslim feeling is running high and mosques have been burnt, schools have been authorised to ban pupils who wear full Islamic head-cover, although the measure comes nowhere near France's new ban on the hijab in all state schools.

*rereads* Oh my goodness! That's first I heard of it. Rest assured, Muslim's in Umeå are safe. I notice it did not say where, when, who, and how often this occured? Was in one mosque in Göterborg(1), or ten mosques spread accross the country? This makes a really big difference, and it throws this act(s), though horrible, into a darker light than reality.

It makes me doubt all the other acts reported in this article - how bad is the situation really?

(1) There's nothing wrong with Göterborg. I just wanted to name a Swedish city that wasn't Stockholm or Malmö.
