It's one of Europe's most proudly liberal nations. So why is Denmark banning the burka and threatening to end benefits for migrants whose children don't integrate?

• 'Ghetto' Mjolnerparken is set to be ‘eradicated’ by 2030, following the introduction of controversial laws aimed at protecting ‘Danishness’
  
  
• All families in ghettos will send toddlers to day centres to learn Danish values
  
  
• Non-Western immigrants grown from 50,000 in 1980 to almost 500,000 today 
  

Juicy pomegranates are piled outside the entrance to a supermarket in Norrebro, a district of Copenhagen. There are queues of customers at the till most of the day and into the early hours, buying Middle Eastern pastries, exotic fruit, dates and ice-cream which remind them of home.

Yet beside the pomegranates is a deep hole in the metal door frame. It was made one night by a bullet fired from a 9mm pistol by a member of a drug gang guarding his trading pitch near by.

Ismail Schbaita, a 55-year-old originally from Palestine who helps runs the supermarket, remembers the chilling moment last March only too well. ‘The gunman was high on drugs. Luckily, his bullet missed the staff and the customers. Gangs are always shooting each other around here.’

For Norrebro is a dangerous area of the Danish capital. A stone’s throw from the supermarket is the city’s most notorious housing estate, Mjolnerparken, where mothers told me this week they are afraid to let their children walk to the sweet shop alone because of the knifings and shootings.

Mjolnerparken, with its drab apartment blocks and shabby streets, has been categorised as a ghetto by the Danish Government.

Across the country, 21 other such places with high crime rates, soaring unemployment and more than 50 per cent non-Western residents have been given the same name. They are due to be ‘eradicated’ by 2030, following the introduction of controversial laws aimed at protecting ‘Danishness’ and ridding the country of so-called ‘parallel’ societies.

Later this year, legislation will force all families living in these ghettos to send their toddlers, as young as one year old, to approved day centres to learn the Danish language and Danish values.

"...Across the country, 21 other such places with high crime rates, soaring unemployment and more than 50 per cent non-Western residents..."

Speaking of pomegranates, did you know that they’re called “Jewel fruit” due to the sparkling seeds inside? They are said to resemble the sparkle of a diamond.

That’s not true actually, but it bloody well should be.

I’m going to write an email to the diamond people.
