Last week we reported on the courageous Dutch MP, Geert Wilders, who claimed that Britain was a soft touch and the most PC country in Europe. Mr. Wilders spends much of his time living in a prison for his own safety and is guarded around the clock by close protection officers of the Dutch police after receiving over 600 death threats from Islamic militants angry with his robust criticism of Islam as a violent religion. Police treat the threats seriously in the wake of the stabbing of Theo van Gogh, filmmaker and critic by Islamic extremist Mohammed Bouyeri who is serving a life sentence in a Dutch jail for the murder in 2004.
12,000 miles from Amsterdam another political leader is the target of death threats from Islamic jihadists.
Reverend Fred Nile the leader of the New South Wales Christian Democratic Party, who is recontesting his upper house seat at the March 24 state election called for a 10-year ban on Islamic immigration.
He wants the immigration department to give preference to persecuted Christians while studies on the impact of Islamic immigration are carried out during the moratorium.
Mr Nile has previously called for a ban on the wearing of full-face scarves in NSW. Today, he said he and another Christian Democratic Party (CDP) candidate had received death threats in recent days. On Friday, a man had telephoned Allan Lotfizadeh, the CDP candidate for the western Sydney electorate of Auburn, and said: "You Christian pig. You are dead", Mr Nile said.
Yesterday, Mr Nile said, a man approached a CDP election worker at Granville and asked her where he (Mr Nile) lived, and what he had against Muslims.
Death threat
She had then said: "Tell Fred Nile I am going to act out my faith on him".
Mr Nile said he believed the threats were linked to his statements on Islamic immigration and full-face scarves.
Mr Nile said the threats, which have been reported to police, highlighted the need for the immigration moratorium.
"The reason why I called for the moratorium is because of what's happening in France and Holland where the Muslim minority are becoming militant," he said. http://www.bnp.org.uk/news_detail.php?newsId=1403
