The Spin
Left narrative
It's terribly sad that it took an ECJ court case to begin fighting back against Denmark's racist public housing laws. While this law clearly targeted Muslim migrants, who already face rampant Islamophobia in Danish society, it simultaneously destroyed the lives of Danish citizens and their families, regardless of their ethnicity. This law has now been condemned by Danish, EU, and UN authorities, so, hopefully, the final ruling will officially end it for good.
Right narrative
The timing of this ruling is insulting, coming around the ten-year anniversary of two terror attacks committed by a Danish-born man of Palestinian descent. Denmark is also not discriminatory — it's simply responding to the data that shows immigrants are a net negative economically and commit a disproportionate amount of violent crime. While EU judges play abstract politics, Denmark faces the deadly consequences of forced immigration.
