There is a concern that certain devout portions of their population might push back progress on women's rights and gay rights. I, myself, would not want to see women being shackled into their homes and being forced to wear restrictive clothing. I wouldn't want to see gay marriage and protections be rolled back. I want to be able to walk into Subway and get a ham sandwich (something increasingly difficult in places like the UK). I don't want our cities to turn into the no-go zones of Stockholm or Bradford, or Copenhagen.
...and I wouldn't want Christians pulling that crap either.
Please tell me where there are "no-go" zones in Copenhagen?

Don't be blind to threats in your own backyard.
That story is massively distorted from the danish newspaper article. Yes, the prime minister talks of problems with ghettos and indeed those problems exist. He even mentions that police isn't able to work effectively in those areas, but that is NOT the same as "no-go zones". There's nowhere in Denmark where it is unsafe to live or walk around in general.
Also, don't be ignorant of the fact that it can be politically expedient for right wing politians to fearmonger about immigrants.
Agree.
To use Copenhagen (Denmark) as some kind of "no-go" example is absurd.
That country is 1,000 times more "safe" than the USA.
If we used general safety rules to describe a "no-go" zone, we (the USA) would have an enormous amount of such zones (not necessarily because of "Muslims," but other safety concerns).
Basically .... our sh*t smells horribly in this area of discussion, and it is complete hypocrisy to pick-on Denmark or Sweden.
