Law Denmark, with an eye on muslims, requires new citizens to shake hands

COPENHAGEN — Denmark will require anyone who takes Danish citizenship to shake hands at the naturalization ceremony, under a law passed on Thursday, which lawmakers say is aimed at Muslims who refuse on religious grounds to touch members of the opposite sex.
The law has prompted strong reactions from some of the mayors who must conduct such ceremonies, and who are upset that they will become the faces and fists of a policy they call awkward, “purely symbolic” and irrelevant to an applicant’s qualifications. They say the Danish Parliament, which approved the measure, has artificially elevated a social custom to a national value.

But Denmark is not alone. Authorities in Switzerland and France have recently cited “lack of assimilation” in rejection of citizenship to foreigners who refuse to shake hands with officials.

Thoughts?

Anyone who refuses to shake somebody's hands, citing some ancient religious text, is a religious extremist and probably doesn't have a place to be in the West.

There are a million excuses that you could use, to not shake a person's hand. If religion is it, then you're just a nut.

Shake hands or fuck off.

You should follow the customs of the country you reside in. If not, there are bound to be other countries more suited for your lifestyle. Law makes sense.

Yea, no fucking shit...

Too bad many dont get this

Ok. Sounds like a decent way to weed out extremists

 

[Trotsky]

TIL Mike Pence couldn't move to Denmark.

And, yeah, it's pretty clearly an arbitrary and unnecessary gesture for social conservatives to feel like they got an insulting jab at Muslims, but it's not a big deal and it's certainly worth the price of admission.

Woow its one of those headline things politicians do to make the average person think they are doing something great. They know full well no one is gonna refuse to shake hand and refuse citizenship. But most dumbasses love red meat

Hardly the most eyebrow raising legislation this year.

COPENHAGEN — When Rokhaia Naassan gives birth in the coming days, she and her baby boy will enter a new category in the eyes of Danish law. Because she lives in a low-income immigrant neighborhood described by the government as a “ghetto,” Rokhaia will be what the Danish newspapers call a “ghetto parent” and he will be a “ghetto child.”

Starting at the age of 1, “ghetto children” must be separated from their families for at least 25 hours a week, not including nap time, for mandatory instruction in Danish values, including the traditions of Christmas and Easter, and Danish language. Noncompliance could result in a stoppage of welfare payments. Other Danish citizens are free to choose whether to enroll children in preschool up to the age of six.

Denmark’s government is introducing a new set of laws to regulate life in 25 low-income and heavily Muslim enclaves, saying that if families there do not willingly merge into the country’s mainstream, they should be compelled.

Shake hands or fuck off.

I would say fuck off regardless.

Don't kids go to school starting at like four or five? Are they really worried that a kid is going to be radicalized against the Danish culture by the time he's four?

Research I saw said basic personalities are formed by like age 6-7. Who knows exactly, but it seems to be early-on.

Nope, not far enough. Make the males eat bacon and the females wrestle naked in bacon grease for 5 minutes.
