Andrew Bolt reveals ”string of death threats”

[Black Orchid]

Andrew Bolt has been forced to move his children to another home after receiving “a string of death threats” from an alleged supporter of Islamic State.

In an interview on his Sky News program with One Nation spokeswoman Pauline Hanson, the conservative commentator revealed the lives of his family had been threatened yesterday, forcing him to move his children to keep them safe.

“I spent some of my day moving my kids out of my home after yet another death threat from an islamist supporter of the Islamic state,” he said. “It’s been a very stressful day.”

Revelations of a threat come less than 24 hours after Mr Bolt wrote about Australia’s Grand Mufti, Dr Ibrahim Abu Mohammad in his regular newspaper column.

“The Grand Mufti of Australia has just proved that Pauline Hanson is right to feel threatened by Islam in this country,” he wrote in Melbourne’s Herald Sun. He criticised the Mufti for warning in an open letter that criticism of anti-gay comments by Sheik Shady Alsuleiman risks inciting Islamic extremism.

“Again and again, whether the Mufti means this or not, the clear inference is that if we criticise Islam or his clerics we risk death,” he wrote.

“What free society can tolerate such an implied threat or danger? How can the Mufti not see that the true responsibility for Islamist terrorism lies not with the victims but with the perpetrators — and with the faith which seems to licence them to mass murder?”

Mr Bolt revealed the threat while speaking to divisive senator-elect Ms Hanson, who has also borne the brunt of criticism for her comments about Islam. Earlier this week, Race Discrimination Commissioner Tim Soutphommasane warned Ms Hanson’s inflammatory rhetoric could lead to xenophobia and violence.

Mr Bolt slammed Mr Soutphommasane for his “double standards”.

“Two of my colleagues have had to move house completely, and Tim Soutphommasane, if he’s really worried about hate preachers, why doesn’t he say something about these hate preachers instead of attacking you?” he said. “I feel this very strongly these double standards.”

Mr Bolt confirmed to The Australian had recently received “a string of death threats”.

“Let us just say that the race discrimination commissioner and all like him should get on the case of the real hate preachers who cause Australians to fear for their safety,” he said. “And they sure don’t include Pauline Hanson.”

Ms Hanson defended her views on Mr Bolt’s program, saying Sheik Alsuleiman is far more extreme than her. “I see a hypocrite who’s prepared to go at me. I’ve never incited hatred to the extent what this Imam has said,” she said. “Not any of these people. I cannot understand why the discrimination commissioner has not jumped on this or anyone else. Why do they always want to attack me?”

Like or dislike Andrew Bolt but this sort of thing has absolutely NO place in Australia. I can't believe some of the comments I have read on OzPol by the far left wing jackals. Disgraceful.

Amen to the last paragraph.

The more I see people ruthlessly attacking and denigrating Pauline Hanson and joking about Bolt's children having to be moved after receiving death threats ... the MORE I will support people like Pauline.

The filthy left are all about the side and not the principle.

Thankfully it will only work out one of two ways for the filthy left.
1. They get what they want, the west is undermined by Islamists and the useful idiot left will be first up against the wall.
2. The west will eventually decide to put them up against the wall themselves.

I'd prefer number 2 and would relish paying a visit to Gweggy in Vic Park to show that cowardly fuck what his shit-for-brain looks like out of his skull. The fluffy bunny should be beaten until death because he is incapable of being taught a lesson.

Personally I've never liked Bolt ... not because he sounds like a sook who's undies are too tight, but because to me he comes across as a Malcolm Turnbull style snob and an Alan Jones type hypocrite, but as a journalist, anyone with a keen sense of the obvious is bound to get something right sooner or later. And while I haven't read or heard his comments regarding Muslims, having grown up in Sydney I'm very likely to have similar opinions regarding Muslims, and quite likely due to similar experiences.

I can relate to Hanson on some levels, although I'm very unlikely to ever vote for her. Despite having no political nous it's obvious her public support is due to her willingness to rock the boat - perceived as albeit ignorant but blunt honesty.
And in my bluntly honest opinion, her calls for a Royal Commission into whether Islam is a religion or political ideology just makes her look stupid. Because it's reasonably common knowledge Islam is a religion of revenge.

These days assimilation is a dirty word and despite dismal failure multiculturalism is the flavour of media sound bites. Meanwhile in this multi-racial melting pot experiment, different peoples can have dislike or even abhorrence for other groups but not let it impact on the broader community.
One example is an Italian banana grower (I worked for) who sent his fruit to Perth rather than Sydney because he believed the Greeks running the Sydney fruit markets habitually ripped him off.
When it comes to Muslims, almost regardless of where they come from they seem to be able to alienate everyone else. But stating so is a mortal sin.

In this bizarre paradigm Muslims scrutinising our opinions is reasonable, but Australians scrutinising Muslim opinions is discrimination.

Remember Sheik Hilali's "uncovered meat" rape analogy?
Well I think such comments warrant analysis of the Islamic mind set.

Q: So what can be rationalised from such a comment?
A: When butchering an animal, wrap or conceal the pieces immediately or some camel jockey will try to stick his dick in it.
