Abstract
D enmark faces a dilemma today of the first order. It is a victim of ts own self-image as a proud, distinctive nation, boasting a thousand year-old kingdom with the oldest flag in Europe, yet many Danes like to see themselves as ultra liberal and multicultural in all matters pertaining to new immigrants who are racially, culturally, and religiously distinct from them. In referenda, Denmark has already rejected the European Union and then approved it by the narrowest of margins and, most recently, refused to be part of the common Euro currency. On the other hand, many Danes like to assert that their country is an open, tolerant, multiethnic society. There undoubtedly will be an even sharper political debate in the future between the contrasting visions of what the nation is and what the major ity and minority expect and demand from each other in the way of equal rights and obligations.
