| Danish Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen yesterday said he was determined to increase efforts in schools to root out Islamic extremism following the assassination of Dutch filmmaker Theo van Gogh by a suspected Islamic radical. "Let's call the kettle black and admit that there are some young Muslims of immigrant origin who have not understood the principles on which Danish society is based. And there is something wrong when people leave school with such attitudes intact," Rasmussen said. He requested that Education Minister Ulla Tornaes look into ways of better instilling the principles of freedom of expression, democracy and women's rights in young Muslim students. |
