I Married a Dane

Elisabeth Arnold and Elsebeth Gerner Nielsen should have known better than to question the facts in an article written by Daniel Pipes. They should also know better than to import a population that has no wish to assimilate.

I married a Dane. I love Denmark and could see myself living there for a time. Danes are a friendly, fair, and extremely tolerant people. Their fairness extends to immigration. I am an American of the non-Muslim variety, and as such I am subject to the same toughened up Danish laws regarding marriage and residency as any Muslim immigrant from a third-world swamp. I do not blame them at all.

I know that immigration is potentially harmful when the immigrants bring a dysfunctional culture with them. This happens with more with Muslim immigration than any other kind...
