One finding was that there were a few isolated incidents of discrimination against immigrants , which included desecration of graves : There were isolated incidents of anti-immigrant sentiment , including graffiti , low-level assaults , denial of service , and employment discrimination on racial grounds . Societal discrimination against religious minorities was difficult to distinguish from discrimination against ethnic minorities . The Government criticized the incidents and investigated several , but it brought few cases to trial specifically on charges of racial discrimination or hate crimes . Reports continued of incidents of desecration of ethnic and religious minority gravesites . In May 2017 an imam of the al-Faruq mosque in Nørrebro held a service where he preached a vision of the caliphate and the murder of Jews . The sermon was uploaded to YouTube and after having been translated , it was reported to police as a hate crime . The trial began in July 2018 . In a Facebook post , the imam claimed that the Denmark had criminalised the words of his prophet and the word of his deity . The al-Faruq mosque also appeared in the 2015 Copenhagen terrorist attack as perpetrator Omar el-Hussein had visited there . When TV2 reporters visited the mosque for two hours , they did not find any visitors who rejected the views of the imam
