Denmark's government unveiled in May 2016 its intention to create a public list of so-called 'hate preachers' who would be denied into the country.

The plan would entail establishing a list of foreign imams and other religious leaders who have encouraged or promoted terrorism or expressed 'anti-democratic' opinions. Those on the list would be denied visas and immediately turned away if they attempt to pass through Danish border control stations.
