COPENHAGEN — A Canadian Muslim preacher is among six foreign clerics who are banned from entering Denmark for two years due to their “anti-democratic” views.
Denmark’s Integration Minister Inger Stoejberg says the government “won’t accept that hate preachers … preach hatred against Danish society.”
According to the list — published on Tuesday — Canadian cleric Bilal Philips was in Denmark in 2011. It is unclear whether the others have been in the Scandinavian country.
Stoejberg said that five of the men “indoctrinate” others to “commit violence against women and children (and) spread ideas about a caliphate.” The sixth is Christian American preacher Terry Dale Jones.
