Conservative leader Filip Dewinter is use to death threats.
But what he’s not use to is a promise of “zero tolerance” against Muslim extremism from the same government that metes out a slap on the wrist.
As reported by the Austrian magazine Unzensuriert, both Dewinter’s and his wife had their lives threatened by Salafist Muslim El Chazoini Lishssin, formerly of Dubai, now a resident of Geneva, Switzerland.
A criminal court in Antwerp found the terrorist guilty of the death threat, and sentenced him to 48 hours of “voluntary social work” and a fine of €275 (roughly $340 or £219).
Dewinter, leader of the nationalistic Vlaams-Belang party found he and his wife the target of Lishssin and his brothers when the patriotic political movement planned a protest against the Ground Zero mosque on the 9th anniversary of the September 11th attacks.
Dewinter is quoted as stating:
“48 hours of social work and a fine of €275 is a ridiculous sentence.
These kinds of death threats are not acceptable.
The final goal of it was to intimidate and silence a politician through death threats.”
“is almost an incentive to repeat such death threats”
A Family Affair…
Dewinter’s daughter, An-Sofie, recently posed in a bikini-burqa ad asking the Belgian people, “Vrijheid of islam?” (Freedom or Islam?)
An-Sofie herself has been threatened so many times in the past, she recently stated in a report by Fox News:
“Death threats and criticism no longer scare me off.”
