Denmark has banned six foreign preachers accused of spreading hatred, including five Muslims and an American Evangelical pastor. The blacklist of names, released Tuesday as part of the center-right government's wider crackdown on religious fanaticism, includes two Saudis, a Canadian, a Syrian, and two Americans. They will be banned for at least two years. Jacob Mchangama, director of thinktank Justitia, told news agency Ritzau that he was concerned the list could lead to a "slippery slope."
