Daham Al Hasan has settled in Denmark but wants all of his 20 children to join him
Fuming Danish politicians want to DNA test a Syrian migrant looking to reunite his 20 children in Europe.
Daham Al Hasan, 47, who has three wives and says he is too sick to work, wants to ship his entire family to the continent to join him in Denmark - allowing him access to a reported £21,000 in child benefits every year.
He claims that blocking his family from settling in Europe is a breach of his human rights.

Politicians want Al Hasan to undergo DNA tests
Eva Kjer Hansen, a member of the Liberal Party, said: "The way he talks about Danish society, and his perception of rights, is extremely provocative.
"I think think DNA testing should be considered to be certain that they are his children."
Marie Krarup, member for the Danish People's Party, added: "I want those children DNA tested.
"And I think that only children from one of the three mothers, the mother who is already in Denmark, should be reunited. The other children should not be here.
"I basically think that the family reunification rules are wrong. It should not be have been possible for him to take the children here."

Eva Kjer Hansen, a member of the Liberal Party, claimed some of Al Hasan's comments have been 'extremely provocative'
Al Hasan left Syria two years ago and settled in Denmark with eight of his children and one of his wives. He has also been granted family reunification applications for another nine children and two wives.
But three more children, all over 15, have had their applications denied.
Despite settling in the country, he has claimed he would be allow his children to marry Danish citizens because of his religion.
Critics in the country have claimed Mr Al Hasan is taking advantage of the welfare system.
Danish Conservative member Naser Khader said: "We need to save and it can't be right that a man, who has not contributed, is granted hundreds of thousands (in Danish Kroner) in child support."
