COPENHAGEN — When Rokhaia Naassan gives birth in the coming days, she and her baby boy will enter a new category in the eyes of Danish law. Because she lives in a low-income immigrant neighborhood described by the government as a “ghetto,” Rokhaia will be what the Danish newspapers call a “ghetto parent” and he will be a “ghetto child.”

Starting at the age of 1, “ghetto children” must be separated from their families for at least 25 hours a week, not including nap time, for mandatory instruction in “Danish values,” including the traditions of Christmas and Easter, and Danish language. Noncompliance could result in a stoppage of welfare payments. Other Danish citizens are free to choose whether to enroll children in preschool up to the age of six.

Denmark’s government is introducing a new set of laws to regulate life in 25 low-income and heavily Muslim enclaves, saying that if families there do not willingly merge into the country’s mainstream, they should be compelled.

Interesting.  I wonder if it will have the desired effect?

Wouldn't it be simpler and less expensive to just not let them in country and deport the ghetto dwellers?

Didn't hitler try this on a greater scale?

Yes, and Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Dewey and a whole lot of others.

There is a long list of world class winners right there.   Demarks plan shall surely succeed then.

It could backfire. It could anything. Creating problems is a lot easier than correcting them.

Sounds reasonable to me.
This isn't 100% "mandatory" per se -- as stated, the option for "noncompliance" is there.

For the Danes, this may help, but probably not really too much.
I sense "the power of islam" will overcome their attempts at cultural integration.
One of the primary commands of the quran is that muslims separate themselves from nonbelievers.

The only real answer to their "problems with islam" is this:


Just as it remains the same for the rest of Western Europe.

Yes, it's an uncomfortable image from another time.
But it's the only hope they have of saving themselves.

And remember -- Europeans did exactly this once before -- the literally drove islam from their midst. And that's why Western Europe IS "Western Europe" today.

Do they have the fortitude and good sense to do it again?
