Translated from Dutch NOS TV:

British MPs threatened, worries about ‘Punish a Muslim day‘

Today, 9:32

In Britain, four MPs of the Labour Party have received suspicious packages, presumably because they are Muslims. In fact, three of the packages included a letter that calls for violence against Muslims, according to the British newspaper The Times.

The document refers to a special day to punish Muslims, a ‘punish a Muslim day’, on 3 April. The letter surfaced for the first time in social media last week and was also sent to the homes of several Muslims in London. The letter states that people can earn points eg, by verbally abusing a Muslim, by snatching a woman’s headscarf away, and by throwing acid into a Muslim’s face.

Death threats

London mayor Sadiq Khan is sick of threats against Muslims and has posted a video on Twitter in which he read aloud several death threats addressed to him.

He was called a homosexual Muslim terrorist who had to die. Others said he should be deported, or that he should commit suicide.

The anti-terror police is investigating.

Meanwhile, people have also launched a counter-action. Under the heading Love a Muslim day you can earn points by smiling to a Muslim or by participating in Ramadan.
