Kristian Thulesen Dahl is a Danish Politician and is leader of the Danish People's Party, following the retirement from the post by Pia Kjærsgaard.[1][2] He has been a member of the Folketing (Danish parliament) since 1994. He is Knight of the Dannebrog.[3]
In 2013, Thulesen-Dahl argued that Denmark to a larger extent should accept more refugees coming from non-Muslim countries and fewer from Muslim countries. In the same interview, he declared himself a supporter of freedom of religion, thus a dane who wishes to convert to Islam is free to do so, however, he also stated that he believes that there is no room in Denmark for more people with a Muslim background.[4]
