  1. Thanks, I noticed that. Hizb Ut Tahrir is a legal organization in Denmark, where the Quran burner Rasmus Paludan is (partly) from. The organization grew a lot back in the 2000s and 2010s, but have since lost a lot of members. After 9/11, they were very successful in recruiting new members among Muslim university students in Denmark. The organization was invited on TV several times to explain their views, which they did clearly and unapologetically. But it was perhaps that clarity of expression that made people leave them again. They are quite radical. In Denmark, at least, their leadership is highly educated, with numerous people with Master degrees and PhDs. Most members are descendants of immigrants from Muslim-majority countries (esp. Pakistan, Egypt, Palestine).

  3.  @lonesomefencesitter3186  That's probably true, but I think people will eventually get tired of Rasmus Paludan. If he continues with these stunts, people will say 'oh, again?' and it becomes progressively uninteresting. Support for him will waver and he may realize that his campaign is going nowhere. Just in my lifetime (50+ years) we have had so many radical ideological groups, from communist revolutionaries to facists to jihadis and Islamists. Young people are attracted to radical ideas, but even they cool off eventually.
