Documentation: Danish hate speech & xenophobia
These quotes are but a very few examples of hate speech and xenophobia in the political debate in Denmark, where it has been a widespread and increasing phenomenon since the mid-nineties. A few years ago there was a growing international awareness of the fact, that this type of propaganda - which in most Western countries is limited to racist extremists without political influence - constitutes an alarming tendency in mainstream Danish politics.
However, while the problem is increasing, the awareness is declining.
As mentioned this is only a translation of a few examples - several houndreds of xenophobic and islamophobic quotes in Danish can be found here - (more will eventually be translated to English).Rune Engelbreth Larsen
