You can say about Denmark and many other Western democracies what V. S. Naipaul once said about the United States, when it comes to creeps like that:
Always out there, the United States, an unacknowledged part of the world picture of every kind of modern revolutionary: the country of law and rest, with which at the end of the day a man who had proclaimed himself to be on the other side--in politics, culture, or religion--could make peace and on whose goodwill he could throw himself.
--V.S. Naipaul, Beyond Belief, 1998
