NSW Christian Democratic Party leader Reverend Fred Nile said today he had received death threats over his call for a moratorium on Islamic immigration to Australia.
Mr Nile, who is recontesting his upper house seat at the March 24 state election, on Saturday called for a 10-year ban on Islamic immigration.
He wants the immigration department to give preference to persecuted Christians while studies on the impact of Islamic immigration are carried out during the moratorium.
Mr Nile has previously called for a ban on the wearing of full-face scarves in NSW.
Today, he said he and another Christian Democratic Party (CDP) candidate had received death threats in recent days.
On Friday, a man had telephoned Allan Lotfizadeh, the CDP candidate for the western Sydney electorate of Auburn, and said: "You Christian pig. You are dead", Mr Nile said.
Yesterday, Mr Nile said, a man approached a CDP election worker at Granville and asked her where he (Mr Nile) lived, and what he had against Muslims.
She had then said: "Tell Fred Nile I am going to act out my faith on him".

"Act out my faith" -- wait, does that mean that Islam IS the cause of violence? What about the 'good Muslims?'
I'm voting for this guy.
Why only 10 years? islamic settlement is, was, and will remain, counterindicated.
And immediately, muslims prove why he's right.
Do we really need a caveman sitcom when we already have Stone Age types threatening and committing murder and mayhen in our daily lives?
I believe there should be a mechanism put in place to check terrorism rather than calling for a ten year ban on Islamic immigration.
Nonetheless,it is totally unacceptable to threaten his life for voicing his opinions on a matter he fels is sentitive to Australia.The beauty of democracy lies in the opportunity of everyone expressing his or her opinions on matters that borders on their mind.
Welcome to reality. They're mad because that interferes with their timetable to infiltrate and take over.
