A new report from the Council of Europes Anti-Racism Commission (ECRI) says that Iceland should be doing more to combat discrimination, in part by granting permission for Muslims to build a mosque and by filling in gaps in current immigration legislation.

I had a friend spend one year without being allowed off base. This applied to all minorities at the time. The reason was since Iceland had such a small population they were trying to kept their race and heritage intact.
The Brits left a lot of babies there after WW2. I think they have relaxed the curfew restrictions now.
granting permission for Muslims to build a mosque
Ef them.
From what little I know about Iceland, it now has a huge tourism trade and nightclub scene focusing on European vacationers. I know several American college students who went there and believed it was a colder version of a Florida spring break scene, with hot springs for swimming rather than beaches and oceans. I have no idea what the country looks like in actual life outside the tourist areas, but what you describe is nothing like the way they operate today.
I guess they just don’t want to be like mother Denmark. If my neighbors demanded that I take in boarders in my house of a different race or religion or what ever why would I be obligated to do so? Would they help me pay my mortgage? I think Saudi Arabia should allow Christians to migrate there and build a cathedral. Isn’t that the same thing? Isn’t Saudi Arabia racist too?
What is wrong with any people wanting to preserve their own cultural heritage in the land of their fathers? The answer is absolutely nothing. On the other hand there is a full ocean of negative consequences for deliberately sabotaging your own heritage. (And check out: Pursuit Of "Diversity," Return To Babel?.)
The effort of educated but confused people seeking to immerse all mankind into some form of secular world order, must be resisted; just as we have resisted other forms of tyranny through the years.
Just as every child in every class room, differs--save in the case of identical twins--so every people, folk, tribe or nation, differ. The altruistic course is to respect what is unique in each, not try to drown all in some bastardized anti-culture.

Oh, you’ll love this historical tidbit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Turkish_abductions
Why not bitch at the Congo to import more pale skinned dudes.
Yeah; from all appearances, they’ve kicked the sh*t out of racism, racists, etc. Rock on!
A palpable example of why young MEN are willing to go to war.
Iceland say NO to TERRORISM!!!
“There are Muslims in Iceland?”
The conquering cult of death is everywhere. Some day the west will wake up to it.
You know, I really, look forward to the day when normal people the world over - that is, NOT liberal/socialist lunatics morons - just stand up and start cleaning house on these insane asswipes.
Seriously. Just clean their clocks, once and for all and put an end to this crap.
It’s been going on for too many decades now, and it’s time to end it.
Karl Marx’s bastard stepchildren are destroying the planet and every society they infest.
What a HORRIBLY INTOLERANT country they are.
(see how it feels to be on the the other, you losers)
Somewhat inaccurate headline - this is the Council of Europe, not the EU. The two are very different. The Council of Europe has far more member countries, of which Iceland is one.
I was in Korea twice and there was more to do there. The first time only Osan had a curfew but I was there in ‘08 and everyone had the curfew.
Not the Muslims. They don't have to worry about it there.
What do we all think they're really after? Better weather?
Boy do I have some choice words about the Saudis. I spent some time in that sand pit.
They always tried to steer every conversation to Cowboy Bush.
