Radio presenter Maajid Nawaz reveals he received sinister death threat while discussing antisemitism on-air

Radio presenter Maajid Nawaz has revealed he received a sinister death threat while hosting an on-air debate about Labour’s antisemitism row.

The LBC host said he was branded a “Zionist Jewish terrorist posing as a Pakistani” and warned that “swords are sharpened and the guns loads” in the threat Mr Nawaz chose to make public on his personal Twitter page.

The same threat added he would be “smashed with a hammer on the head.”

Mr Nawaz, who founded the Quilliam counter-extremism think tank, wrote that the “graphic live death threat” had been written by “antisemitic cowards.”
