A Danish political party (DPP) announced its plans to vote against a law that was set to grant Muslims the Danish citizenship. The Danish party has declared that no more Muslims were welcomed in the Nordic country.

According to bi-annual citizenship law, over 1,600 individual foreigners of Muslim faith were expected to be granted the Danish citizenship if the law was to be put in place.

The members of DPP insist to fight against the immigrants’ right to gain the Danish citizenship.

The DPP wants to end all immigration from Islamic and non-western countries. In 2013, the DPP was sued after it produced an anti-immigration advertisement which branded 700 new citizens as suspected terrorists. In 2007, the same political prty (the third-largest political party in Denmark), put forward a string of draft laws calling for a ban on hijab in public places and denying Muslims special worship areas in the workplace. The Mufti of Uganda Sheikh Ramadhan Mubajje has however called upon all Muslims in the world to pray for their brothers and sisters seeking Danish citizenship.
