 MP Ayaan Hirsi Ali placed not only herself and right-winger Geert Wilders, but also their bodyguards and other officials, in danger by revealing the location of her safe house, Justice Minister Piet Hein Donner said on Tuesday. | Piet, you have this exactly wrong. The danger is not from Ms. Hirsi Ali, but from radical murderous Islamonutz. Put the thugs and "spiritual advisers" in jail, not your legislators freely exercising their personal freedoms. |
The Christian Democrat CDA minister told MPs he severely regretted the fact that Hirsi Ali revealed last week the locations where she and Wilders were being kept, news service NOS reported...Hirsi Ali spoke to the media last week and was highly critical of the living circumstances imposed on Wilders and herself, claiming that her freedom was being restricted. She stated that threatened MPs should not be hidden away, but instead be housed in secure locations known to the public. "If you put Wilders in a jail cell, what do you think the message is for the terrorists who are threatening him? Conversely, when you arrange a normal house for him: you are saying that threatened MPs may continue unobstructed, without any censoring," she said. |
