There may be some Danish who hate Muslims but the majority don't.

If this question was in response to the Jyllands-Posten cartoon scandal, what actually happened was that there was an article with twelve cartoons that were mostly benign. Danish Muslims were not at all offended, which shows that there was no real hatred. However, this willingness to go for a laugh bothered some of the Danish Imams who were more sensitive and conservative than their congregation. Therefore, they added three additional pictures which were far more scandalous (including a picture of a hybrid Mohammed-pig) and had this fifteen circulated by fellow Imams in the Islamic World so that the Danish publishers would be cowed into fear. For the most part, this terrible plan was successful and Muslims see Danes as Anti-Islamic when Denmark is actually one of the most integrated societies for European Muslims.

One person from Denmark is called a Dane, or Danish. Several Danish people are called Danes.

The first component 'Dan' regers to the inhabitants (Danes in present day English). The original meaning is thought to be the 'inhabitans of the flat lands', which is a very good description of Denmark. The second component 'mark' simply refers to a border area - and has e.g. also been used between France and Spain. This means that the name Danmark in the begining refered to the south of today's Denmark, but subsequently became the name of the entire country.

The term has been used at least from 9th century.

The North Sea

As it seldom gets really hot in Copenhagen, you can go any month outside the winter season.

Two of the popular attractions - the amusement park Tivoli and the so-called Freetown of Christiania - are seasonal: Tivoli is only open during summer (with two small exceptions around Halloween and X-mas), and Christiania has many time more inhabitants in the summer compared to winter.

The Hotel d’Angleterre is thought to be the most luxurious hotel in Copenhagen. The Phoenix Hotel and the Radisson SAS are also of a similar standard.

a dane or a danish person. We are all from denmark

if you are far away from a person, you wave and say "hej" or "goddag".

if close you smile and give each other a good handshake, not too loose but don't press too hard - pressing too hard should only be between friends. but pressing too loose can mean that you are gay or very feminine.

You can always say "hej", sounds like "high" in English. "goddag" is more formal. "God at møde dig" = nice to meet you. "Hejsa" is more friendly when approaching kids and old friends.

Smile and we danes will smile back - if not, we are angry, shy, sizing you up, playing a joke on you... :-)
