It is a, admittedly small, step in the right direction when it comes to dealing with Islamic immigrants and refugees.

Some of us see ethnic diversity as something worth preserving.

Shaking hands is a problem in Judaism as well:

Well, I'm assuming you're Jewish because of your nation name. If you just have that for your nation and aren't actually religiously Jewish, my apologies for making assumptions.

I don't think trying to stamp out people who adhere to the religion makes much sense. And doesn't this apply to just the opposite sex? Are they going to have legions of women to shake these dudes' hands?

So how would allowing people who have earned citizenship to not shake a given person's hand have ended ethnic diversity?

Hopefully, yes. If they have a problem with it and refuse they can leave the country and not become citizens.

Preserving the ethnic Danishness of Denmark is the point. This has hardly anything to do with shaking hands or religious mores.

I'm being sarcastic. It's supposed to stamp out a certain kind of muslim, as some people have been trying to claim. It's just stamping out adherents to the religion, not necessarily terrorists. It's stamping on people's religious freedoms.

Because Islam has no place in the west whether you want to accept that or not. It is not compatible with western values and civilization.

Actually it does, becaus Denmark hasn't banned non-Danes from their country.

They use such a roundabout method to do this since acknowledging ethnic/racial diversity is taboo.

There's no problem with muslims in Denmark. And no, your example of "what if a bunch of europeans moved into a muslim country" is moot. Not only would people still defend their right to do that, as people have a right to live wherever, no one would form an uprising government.

The examples of the Ostsiedlung and the Anglo-Saxons in Texas say otherwise. I'm sure there are plenty of other examples from history.

Those guys just trounced the border. They also had more firepower, and limited US support. You trying to tell me that Saudi Arabia or some other nation is going to send an army for an uprising?

Why do people have a right to live anywhere they want? If some random person wants to live in my house, do I have to admit him?

They don't need to send an army, they've already infected the entire Sunni world with their interpretation of Islam so immigrants will do the work for them.
