It isn't Islamophobia when they really ARE trying to kill you

VETERAN BRITISH CONSERVATIVE MP stepping down because of constant death threats and an arson attack on his office by Muslims because of his support for Israel
Justice Minister Mike Freer, who is not Jewish, is quitting frontline politics after being subjected to a campaign of death threats and intimidation over his pro-Israel views. Freer said that he will step down before the next election, which he would easily win, following a string of threats and incidents, which culminated in an arson attack on his constituency office in December.
Daily Mail (h/t Georgina D) The 63-year-old has suffered more than a decade of intimidation and says he feels ‘lucky to be alive’ after narrowly escaping a confrontation with terrorist killer Ali Harbi Ali, who murdered fellow Tory MP Sir David Amess.
Mr Freer told the Mail that he could no longer put his family through the anxiety of knowing he might be targeted every time he stepped outside. He said his husband Angelo had become ‘incredibly jittery’ since it emerged that Ali had visited his Finchley and Golders Green constituency office with the intention of killing him.
On police advice, Mr Freer has had to wear a stab vest when attending scheduled public events in his constituency. Last month’s arson attack in north London was ‘the final straw’. An email sent after the attack informed him he was ‘the kind of person who deserved to be set alight’.
He said all MPs sadly had to accept a certain level of abuse as ‘par for the course’ in modern public life. But he added: ‘You shouldn’t really have to think, am I going to survive the day?’ Mr Freer’s decision will lead to fresh questions about security for MPs, who have faced increased threats in recent years.
In the past decade, Sir David and Labour MP Jo Cox were murdered in their constituencies. Labour’s Stephen Timms was stabbed by an Al Qaeda sympathiser in 2010 but survived.
Mr Freer said he suffered his first serious death threat the following year, when the group Muslims Against Crusades told him to ‘let Stephen Timms be a warning to you’ and urged supporters to target him. A dozen supporters of the group then burst into an event he was holding at North Finchley mosque, with one calling him a ‘Jewish homosexual pig’ who was ‘defiling the house of Allah’.
In the intervening years he has suffered numerous threats, including abusive notes left on his car and fake petrol bombs placed on the doorstep of his constituency office.
Mr Freer is not Jewish but believes his outspoken views on Israel and strong support for the Jewish community have led to him being targeted by anti-Semites. He narrowly avoided encountering Ali outside his constituency office in 2021 after being called in to Westminster by Boris Johnson to be promoted to a new job during a government reshuffle.
‘Given what he did to David, I think it’s unlikely he wouldn’t have attacked me and I think it’s unlikely that I would have survived that kind of frenzied attack.
He is also highly critical of Jeremy Corbyn, saying the former Labour leader ‘let the cork out of the bottle – he made anti-Semitism respectable again’.
Mr Freer, whose constituency is home to one of the largest Jewish populations in the country, says the October 7 attacks on Israel by terror group Hamas had led to an upsurge in anti-Semitism.
With major pro-Palestine demonstrations taking place in central London most Saturdays, he says many of his constituents ‘won’t come into central London at all’ on those days because of the risk of intimidation and abuse

Surrendering to Muslim bullies is a bigger crime in my book than pandering to them.
That is how they do their work. The muslim allways goes for the raccist or he said bad things about our childmolester or whatever. Then they make a big stink until the gov. gives them what they want, should any gov. say no then it has a problem that goes up to millions, so what can anyone do anymore other that to fight. That is not how it should go, no step back and when they burn our offices we burn their churches, no step back then to do that is suicide. Maybe the western world needs to accept the fact that it wont work and the best example is Israel then its Israel that has showed the world for years what they are but no one is looking her way, maybe its time we did.
I feel bad for him, but he and the interviewer both seem not to comprehend what the problem is. Changing social media rules is not going to help the situation – at all. The root is islam, and the problem is that the UK allowed and encouraged the moslems to come in. We all know the rest of the story, but for some reason even though it’s plain as day, nobody seems to be able to verbalize it. They talk around the issue, with lots of “it’s sort of” and “perhaps if we just” and on and on. I don’t know what is so difficult about calling an islamic supremacist what it is. These people have to open their eyes and understand that all of the careful tip-toeing around the delicate moslem population is nothing but responding EXACTLY the way the moslems are manipulating them to respond. They are being PLAYED.
When you get no support from Police who are cheap pussies afarind to do their jobs, then the alternative is if someone threatens you, find them, grab them deport them never to return.
I hate that he’s stepping down. He’s letting all the people that threatened him win, to allow them to believe intimidation tactics work. He should have phoned Geert Wilders to learn how to handle this situation. He’s obviously not saying the mantra “diversity is our strength” enough,
