Ah right, the Danish integration hypocrisy: Immigrants to Denmark should integrate fully (speak Danish without an accent), while Danes who move abroad should maintain their Danish culture and language and not integrate too much.

Perhaps – but what other “dangers” might there be associated with watching Arabic TV? I know lots of Danes who can’t be bothered to watch Danish TV and they seem pretty harmless… I think I know what you’re saying – but I feel provoked by these constant suggestions that immigrants shouldn’t be maintaining their alternative (primary or secondary) cultures/identities just because they are living in Denmark.

I think you’re putting up straw men here, Solana: The folks who worry about immigrants isolating themselves aren’t worried about “an Arabic soap opera” and “news from a different perspective”.
