Amal Aden threatened by mail about integration

There have been lots of quick reactions after columnist Amal Aden wrote about immigrants who do not want to work because of their faith.

Aden mentioned that she turned off her mobile phone after receiving 322 threats.

last week the Somali writer wrote an article in Dagbladet about immigrants coming to Norway while no one has thought about how letting them to be integrated into Norwegian society.

They are also not interested in taking a job based on religious grounds but they are very fond of money they receive in benefits from Nav.

– I have received 322 threats and stopped checking and reading them. I do not have time for this. It becomes ridiculous, simply, I have no words, says Aden to the newspaper Dagbladet.

The threats have partly been that she should be stoned, raped and killed.

She says that her post was mistranslated into Somali and that is the reason for receiving many threats.

– We should respect religious, that’s not what it’s about but who will care for them if they do not want to work for religious reasons? asks Aden.

Also, people who work in the refugee field has responded to the initiative and believes Aden destroys integration.
