Mayor of Antwerp, Belgium threatened: 'Convert to Islam or die'

The wonders of diversity are on display in Antwerp, Belgium, the largest municipality in that country and second largest metropolitan area. Gateway Pundit picked up the news from European sources:

A sign was hung in a public square in Antwerp, Belgium threatening Mayor Bart De Wever with death if he did not convert to Islam, Belgian media reported Sunday.

The message was written in French, one of the three official languages of Belgium, the others being Dutch and German.

Het Laatste Nieuws reported (via Google Translate):

“By N-VA chairman Bart De Wever again death threats walked. In a letter drafted in French which was hung on the Handschoenmarkt, the mayor of Antwerp was threatened with execution if he did not convert to Islam. How serious the threat should be taken remains to be seen, said De Wever in The News on VTM.” (snip)

On Monday, Russian government-owned Sputnik News published an English translation of De Wever’s statement regarding the Islamist death threat along with an estimate of the number of Belgian Muslims who have left to join ISIS:

““I always warned that we will not get rid of the threat from Islamic extremists in the near future. This was ignored for years. This wound became apparent now with [the current developments in] Syria and will fester for a long time before we will get rid of it,” de Wever said.”

I believe there was a time the USA could be called upon to assist in a situation like this

We USED TO defend and support peoples that desired freedom or that were defending the freedom they had from attack

This is an internal issue. Nothing for us to do. Their police can handle it.

I believe that overall, the statist constructions of NATO, the European Union and particularly the multi-generational existence of destructive socialism paid for by fiat money and debt - has led to Europe's own suicide.

Time to cut them loose - for their own good.

I for one am tired of leaving American blood in Europe only to be talked down to by the liberals in the “old world”. They are our betters, they will resolve this easily without us.

If he is killed at work, it’s workplace violence. If he’s killed at home, it’s homeplace violence.

Since Islam is "the religion of peace", it would be peaceful violence. </sarcasm>

The Dutch opened the door and invited the moslem vampires in. Now they are saddled with them.

The most welcoming nations in the world learns the hard way that the Muslims will never be thankful for it.

Luckily no such edict has been demanded in NYC or it's quite possible DeBlasio would immediately submit to Islamic demands in the name of Diversity.
I forsee our mayor's new Muzzi Moniker as Barraq Abu Sayyaf Bill DeLabeeb or something delightful like that.

Muzzies don’t threaten public figures here. Too many “infidels” packing heat these days.
