Rappers face court for Hirsi Ali threats
2005-01-14
The public prosecutor has asked a court to impose a 150-hour work order on the rap group DHC (Den Haag Connection) for allegedly threatening the life of MP Ayaan Hirsi Ali. The court in The Hague was also asked on Thursday to impose a four-month suspended sentence on the rappers. In a dis — a rap song written to criticise a person — DHC sang about wanting to break the Somali-born MP's neck. The number also suggested an assassination was being prepared in which she would be killed by a bomb attack. Hirsi Ali has been in hiding since filmmaker Theo van Gogh was murdered in Amsterdam last November. Van Gogh and Hirsi Ali collaborated on the short film "Submission" that accused the Koran of sanctioning violence against women. A Dutch-Moroccan was arrested for killing Van Gogh. A letter pinned on the director's body threatened Hirsi Ali and other politicians and warned they would be killed next if they didn't stop criticising the Islam faith.

#10  Looks like the dutch could learn a few things from Cambodia.

I wish her all the luck in the world - she has balls the islamists can only dream about.

#9  My hat's off to her if she has the courage of Sabine or Joan. Me....hey...I'm not that great. I's say screw the losers and move one to greener pastures.

#8  You don't really mean that, do you? This is who you're telling to give up her life because some fuckwit jihadi symps are trying to intimidate her.

No the other approach is better - that the Dutch get off their lard asses and respond to this as they did to Van Gogh's murder. If they aren't cowards, they will do it. She'll probably shame them into it, since she's certainly no coward.

#7  If I was her, I'd move on. A nice suburb in San Francisco to raise my kids and walk my dog.

Screw the Dutch. Does she really want to be Anne Frank? Move on, girl. Life is short.

#5  Crimes are never prevented but are usually solved. This poor woman will have to live in fear for the rest of her life because she spoke out which is her basic human right. These F-ing lunatics will slit your throat simply becasue you disagree. If the Dutch won't arrest them then deport them. If they won't do that then destroy their homes like Israel does. You can't treat these moonbats with kid gloves they are cold blooded killers, Islam is just an excuse.

#2  Is a death threat not a death threat when it's accompanied by music?

#1  This shows the dutch are not quite clear on the concept yet. You threaten death you don't get community service you get jail. These little twerps should spend some time doing some hard manual labor since they are not getting punished.
