DENMARK DEMANDS RADICAL PREACHERS TO BE KICKED OUT

RADICAL Islamic preachers who spout extremist views should be stripped of their citizenship and kicked out, leading Danish politicians have demanded.

The call to expel extremist Imams comes after it was revealed religious leaders were telling worshippers to beat children and stone women to death.

The revelation sparked fury and now the right-wing Danish People's Party (DPP) has demanded such extremist leaders are stripped of their citizenship.

The DPP which currently holds the second most seats in the country’s multi-party parliament.

The proposal has reportedly been backed by the Social Democrats, the coalition’s largest group, the Conservative Party and the Liberal Party, effectively securing a majority for the bill in parliament.

Martin Hendriksen, the DPP's immigration spokesman, said: “The Constitution says that anyone can practice their faith so long as it is not contrary to morals, or disturbing to the public order.

"When imams endorse or recommend stoning, or when an imam tells a woman subjected to violence by her husband that that’s okay, then that constitutes, in my opinion, subversive speech that disturbs the public order. 

“Some of these imams are Danish citizens, and we think we should deprive them of their citizenship.”

 It was the uncovering if the radicalisation of Muslims at Grimhøj-mosque in Århus that lead to the DPP's call  to expel extremist preachers.

The mosque, which has come under fire several times in recent years, was again highlighted as a risk after preacher Abu Bilal Ismai was filmed telling Muslims: “Fear Allah, brothers and sisters, teach your children Salah [praying]. It is mandatory for you to teach them to pray from the age of seven.

“And beat them if they don’t Salah when they are 10-years-old.”

In addition, Danish police estimate that 22 of the 27 radicals who have joined ISIS in Syria and Iraq have had contact with the Grimhøj-mosque before joining the depraved group.

At the time of the vile revelations Marcus Knuth, the Liberal Party’s immigration spokesman, suggested that all foreign Imams should be deported and he has now described the DPP's proposal "as a really good idea".

He continued: “You have to come down as hard as possible on these environments. You are not just talking about twisted old imams. These are the mosques that have shaped many Syrian fighters, and they can be a threat to national security.”
