The Right Reverend Dr Michael Nazir-Ali has received threats against himself and his family - I wonder who from...

According to the BBC "A bishop who claimed Islamic extremism has turned some communities into no-go areas for non-Muslims has received threats against himself and his family. The Bishop of Rochester, the Right Reverend Dr Michael Nazir-Ali, said last month non-Muslims may find it hard to live or work in some areas. Now he says he has received threats which have been reported to police... Writing in the Sunday Telegraph on 6 January, Dr Nazir-Ali said there had been a worldwide resurgence of Islamic extremism, leading to young people growing up alienated from the country they lived in.

He said there was "hostility" in some areas and described the government's multicultural policies as divisive.

But he did not name any such areas and Muslim leaders and some politicians accused him of scaremongering."


I wonder who the threats may have emanated from, the BBC does not speculate. Surely they could not come from followers of the "Religion of Peace".
