Danish nationalists seek 'close to zero' Muslim migrants
COPENHAGEN- Denmark should halt immigration from Muslim countries to stem the threat of violence from extremists, the nation's second-largest party argued Thursday.
The deputy party leader of the anti-immigrant Danish People's Party, Soeren Espersen, and other officials said the existing 270,000 Muslims in Denmark, a country of less than 6 million people, already posed a severe risk of harboring sympathizers to ISIS.
Denmark's largest party, the opposition Social Democrats, condemned the comments and compared them to the anti-immigrant policies of US presidential candidate Donald Trump.
