The country of [[Denmark]] has been of particular interest to Muslims activists since the newspaper ''Jyllands-Posten'' published cartoons of Muhammad, founder of Islam, in September 2005. After protests by Muslims in many countries, the paper apologized in January 2006.<ref>"[https://www.theguardian.com/media/2006/jan/31/religion.saudiarabia Danish paper sorry for Muhammad cartoons]," ''The Guardian'', January 31, 2006.</ref>
[[Denmark]], which processed 7,000 asylum seekers in 2013, 14,000 in 2014, and 21,000 in 2015, has taken steps to dissuade migrants from showing up. Situated between two of the migrants' most popular destinations, Germany and Sweden, Denmark started efforts to stem the flow in 2016. When dozens of migrants began arriving with child-brides as low as 14 years old to enjoy Denmark's social welfare benefits, Danes began saying enough was enough. One man had three wives and 20 children.
The first step to get the message out was seizing any property over $1,400 in value to offset government costs. Then the monthly stipend was cut 45% because of the overwhelming number of people arriving. Citizens who drove migrants across the country between Germany and Sweden were fined. The government took out ads in Arabic language newspapers apprising visitors of the new [[regulation]]s. Finally, [[pork]] became a mainstay on the menu in public schools.
