Alex Vanopslagh wrote that Liberal Alliance's Mads Strange had asked a person who described himself as a conservative Muslim in the TV 2 program Højskolen on Wednesday if it was a problem that only 16 percent of Muslim men in Denmark believed that homosexuality was acceptable. According to Vanopslagh, the person rejected that it was a problem and would not answer what he personally thought about homosexuality. Vanopslagh wrote that he disagreed and considered homophobia to be among the least Danish things. He believed that Muslims could be Danish if they supported the fundamental values of democracy and had embraced Denmark. As a member of parliament, he claimed to have both the right and the duty to establish the requirements for Danish citizenship. He wrote that applicants should at a minimum acknowledge the precedence of Danish law over religious laws, an individual's right to make choices about his life, and equal rights for homosexuals. They should also not support Islamist regimes or terrorist movements. Therefore, Liberal Alliance would screen applicants and say no to individuals who had praised terrorism, supported Hamas or similar organizations, threatened people who left Islam, or acted hostile towards homosexuals, he wrote. Vanopslagh wrote that the government would reintroduce a bill on citizenship for 2,055 individuals. He referred to the government's own statement that applicants' values should be screened, but that the screening should not apply to the 2,055 individuals. According to him, this risked allowing Islamists, rabid anti-Semites, or anti-democrats to gain citizenship. Liberal Alliance would not vote for more citizenships until the screening was in place, Vanopslagh wrote. He described Danish citizenship as a gift rather than a right. #Danmark #Statsborgerskab #LiberalAlliance (translated)

Aminata Corr Thrane wrote that Pia Kjærsgaard, in her opinion, employed an unusually harsh interview technique at the Folk High School. She emphasized that Kjærsgaard spread butter on a roll along the way, as a significant display of power. #interviewteknik #powermove #Højskolen (translated)

Lars Andersen wrote that Soleima from the Folk High School had reported 79-year-old Pia Kjærsgaard for violence, even though none of those present, according to him, had witnessed the violence. He expressed enthusiasm for the report and wrote that such behavior could increase the desire of Danes to remigrate what he called the Soleima segment. He added that only portraying Soleima wearing a bomb vest would, in his view, be more effective. #dkpol #vold #Soleima (translated)

Troels Lund Poulsen wrote that people should be able to choose between meatballs and falafel, and that it was a Danish value to celebrate diversity, as long as others' choices did not limit one's freedom. He wrote that he was saddened on Wednesday evening to see his colleague Morten Dahlin participate in the TV 2 program *Højskolen*, where the theme was Danishness. According to Troels Lund Poulsen, the former gang member Abud Mustafa would not participate in the dinner if any of the nine other participants drank wine with the meal. He saw it as an attempt to impose control over others. Troels Lund Poulsen wrote that the episode, in his opinion, illustrated something about integration. He believed that Danishness was not just about speaking the language or having a job, but also about tolerance, equality, equity, and acceptance of people who lived differently. He wrote that he respected that people believed in another god, but would not accept anyone dictating how others should live. He added that others should not limit his freedom or shame him for drinking a glass of red wine with dinner, and that one should not be tolerant of intolerant views. #Frihed #Forskellighed #Tolerance (translated)

Det afgørende spørgsmål er ikke, om ‘Ramadan i København’ bør fjernes fra Højskolesangbogen. Jeg holder ikke af politisk revisionisme eller cancel culture. Det afgørende spørgsmål er derimod, hvorfor den kom ind. #Ramadan #København #Kulturdebat
