Alwaght- A new opinion poll indicates that almost 40 percent of Danish Muslims would like to see the country’s laws based partly on the Holy Qur'an.
The poll, conducted by Wilke for Jyllands-Posten, found that over 10 percent of Muslims prefer the Danish law to be solely based on the Qur'an, while over one-quarter believe the country’s legislation should be a mixture of the Islamic Holy Book and the Danish constitution.
An Aarhus-based Cleric, Radwan Mansour, says he favors a mixture of laws from the Qur'an and the Danish constitution, saying that there would be no conflict between the two.
“If this was an Islamic country, it should be the Qur'an. But Denmark is not an Islamic country – we don’t decide – so I think it should be both the Qur'an and the constitution. When it comes to justice, the sharing of resources and so on, there is a fine accordance [between the two],” he was quoted as telling Jyllands-Posten.
Fatih Alev, who is the head of the Danish Islamic Center, says it will take time for Muslims to integrate into Danish society, calling it “an ongoing process.”
“Muslims have always been able to reconcile Islam’s precepts with various traditions and customs in different countries. It is an ongoing process in which we have also found our way of practicing Islam in a Danish context,” Alev told the newspaper.
Anti-immigration supporters say the results show “the number of Muslims in Denmark is a problem.”
Muslims currently constitute almost 5 percent of the Danish population, making it the largest minority religion in the European country.
