#3 These European kings and queens are supposed to be defenders of the faith. Are very high figures in their respective state churches. They rule only due to the imprimatur of these churches They are out of a job once Muhammadans become dominant.

#5 Damn. The Danes always had a gift for bluntness but I thought they had banned the domestic manufacture of verbal Whuppass shortly after WWII.

#6 Perhaps it's just anojther example of the limitations of the MSM format-- no links to source, no exposition of author's bias, no trackbacks or comments so readers can correct or amplify the article's very limited content and evident spin.

But it seems the article isn't playing it straight with the Queen's real views. How to reconcile these (unquoted, reported) comments with the Queen's urging of "opposition to Islam"?

She said she understood how disaffected young Muslims might find refuge in religion. This tendency should be fought by encouraging Muslims to learn Danish so they could integrate better, she said. "We should not be content with living next to each other. We should rather live together."

Perhaps the Queen's remarks are simply contradictory; we don't know, since there's no link to any detailed, lengthy source for the quote. But perhaps her view is that we need to oppose radical Islam on the one hand while welcoming tolerant, assimilated muslims OTOH.
