The ex Dutch politician who turned away from Islam, and has had ongoing death threats, seems to be being abandoned by the Dutch government very soon by revoking the budget for her security.
We'll not go into the obvious and state that Muslims shouldn't be threatening death to anyone they please within the free world, we've been down that path many times already and the conclusion is that these threats and killings are just part of European life. It's accepted or shrugged off. Think of Britain now and you think of England, Scotland, Wales, the rain, regional accents, the class system, football, cricket, the Queen and now, Islamic terror. Nobody wants to fight it.
Anyway, back on to Mrs Ali.... It seems sad that the Netherlands are turning their backs on an ex politician, and even sadder that this woman may have to leave Europe to reside in the USA. As a Brit, I'd welcome her her with open arms; she's polite, intelligent, articulate, and would contribute to any society that she becomes part of, though I doubt she'd want to live here. Where in Britain would such a person live, away from the Islamic threat; Snowdonia, Cornwall, the Lakes or Scottish Highlands? No, America -sadly- is the best place to live to avoid Islamic terror.
When will Europe get a backbone?
