Queen Margarethe II said it was “not a law of nature” that asylum seekers automatically integrated into society and called on Muslim groups to do more to help new arrivals understand Danish society.
The Queen, who is one of Europe’s most respected and long-serving royals, said politicians needed to “put their foot down” and strictly uphold the country’s principles of democracy and gender equality in her unprecedented rallying cry.
Denmark has taken in just under 15,000 asylum seekers in the last nine months, according to Government statistics, and has reintroduced border controls to stem the flow heading northwards towards neighbouring Sweden.
The arrival of predominantly Muslim refugees has sparked a heated debate about migration in the country, which earlier this year saw a new law passed allowing the authorities to seize migrants’ assets to pay for housing and benefits.
Some right-wing politicians have linked asylum seekers to the growing threat of Islamic State (ISIS) with one, the deputy leader of the anti-immigration Danish People’s Party, Soeren Espersen, issuing a Donald Trump-style call for a six-year ban on Muslim migrants entering the country.
And now the Nordic country’s Queen has intervened in the national debate with an outspoken rallying call to Muslim migrants to integrate into the country’s free, tolerant society.
She said: “It’s not a law of nature that one becomes Danish by living in Denmark. It doesn’t necessarily happen.
“We thought that these things would take care of themselves. That if you walked through the streets of Copenhagen and drank the municipal water and rode the municipal bus, you’d soon become a Dane.
“It was so obvious to us, and therefore we thought that it must also be obvious for those who settled and lived here. It wasn’t.”

Yes, please.
The Queen is right of course but “they” don’t want to be one of us.
Allowing Islam into your Country is sucide. Study History.
They don’t want to be one of you.
They want to kill you and steal your country.
Fools expect Muslims to adopt Western values. They would cease to be Muslims if they did. Ask the French and Germans how that adopting western values thing has worked out for them.
trump effect. i posted on the other thread as well. fu ms
Altho a properly beloved grand lady, the Queen is also a gullible fool.
Europe’s fake “royalty” is in on the invasion. These remarks...made FAR too late after the invasion has already taken place...is to try and make the masses think something will be done to force Muslims to integrate or be deported. It won’t be, by design.
“Danish Queen”....sounds like a donut shop.
Note that the Queen of Denmark has more balls than Obama.
Well done, Queen M II. She is saying get with the Danes or get out.
Go Trump! ;)
Silly stuff from an addled royal.
They don’t want to be ‘one of you.’
They want to make you - and your entire nation - one of them.
she’ll submit before this is all over..
Says the Muslim to the Dane:
We don’t eat pork, drink alcohol, or show our faces.
We kill you!!!! Aloha snackbar!!!!!!
BOOM!
They also blow up!!
I’d flip it: Living here doesn’t make us one of you.
Don’t waste your breath, Queeny...
Wow. Two in one day.
Them with Norway.
