The recent warnings by US President Donald Trump of taking over Greenland “whether they like it or not” raises and exposes a lot of questions about Denmark. For one, Denmark, considered one of the most Islamophobic countries in the EU, got it all wrong. Not Muslims but white supremacists from the United States are the greatest threat.
What we are seeing is the implementation of the US’ National Security Strategy and its support of a new world order government by far-right parties in Europe.
The whole debacle over Greenland exposes as well the hypocrisy and racism of Denmark, which is not a country guided by Nordic values of mutual respect but by racism and discrimination. The image of Denmark as a progressive country has been false for over forty years.
Denmark’s openly racist policies toward Muslims and other non-Europeans have come home to roost by targetting the wrong “enemy.” Starting wth Social Democrat Prime Minister Mette Fredrikson, who has propagated exclusive anti-Muslim policies, all political parties in the country are complicit for their shortsightedness and racism.”
Taking into account the openly exclusive policies of Denmark against minorities, it is doubtful the country will be able to correct its ways because all of the political parties have contributed to the situation.
Liz Fekete wrote in “Europe’s Fault Line,” a few years ago that there has been a massive shift to the right with racism of all parties complicit with this becoming widespread.
