And Danes show less tolerance.

To counter the "intolerant Germans news", which has been a hot discussion subject for the past few days, here comes a study on what Swedes (and Danes, who seem to be less tolerant) think about immigration, immigrants and Islam:

Only 12 percent of all Swedes wouldn't right away accept their child marrying an immigrant, compared 30 percent of all Danes. That's quite a difference, I'd say. It should prove that you cannot speak of a "Germanic mentality" (or even a pan-Scandinavian one) in my opinion.

Discussion:

1. Do you think this is good or bad?
2. Should Islamophobia and xenophobia be connected with each other?
3. Why are the Danes less tolerant than the Swedes? Might it be because they, while they have fewer immigrants than Sweden, have more radical Muslims (I'm thinking of the Muhammed cartoon riots)?
