Denmark sticking up for converts from Islam?

Good for Denmark. I have been there and enjoyed very much the country and people (and food and beer).

Denmark: Proposal to register crimes against converts as hate crimes

Violence and threats against converts in Denmark should from now on be registered as hate-crimes, several parliamentary parties announced. The parties want to ensure that criminal acts against converts will bring about a harsher punishment, as is now the case for crimes against homosexuals.

Kristeligt Dagblad recently reported how several Christian converts with refugee or immigrant background were baptized in secret for fear of threats and violence against themselves and their family, both in Denmark and abroad.


HT to Islam in Europe, which is quickly becoming one of my fav-o blogs.
