| Hirsi Ali criticises Labour over Jami |
| 2007-08-14 |
| Ayaan Hirsi Ali, the controversial former Dutch MP who now works for a conservative American think-tank in Washington, has strongly criticised the Labour party for its attitude towards Labour councillor and chairman of the ex-Muslim committee Ehsan Jami. Hirsi Ali, who has the same spokeswoman as Jami, told the Dutch press that the Labour party seems to have more solidarity with intolerant fundamentalists than ‘freedom fighters’ such as Jami. Hirsi Ali said she supports Jami and condemned the ‘barbarians’ who attacked him. Gotta love the scare quotes. Jami was placed under police protection last week following an attack by three men believed to be Islamic fundamentalists. Jami has made a number of controversial statements about Islam. Labour leader Wouter Bos has made it clear that his party will not support the ex-Muslim committee and said he was unhappy with the way Jami has chosen to attract attention for problems within the Muslim community. |

| #1 The snark in Dutchnews is at their equivalent of Deathcom3. Its obvious that the people there are firmly allied with the jihadis. |
