Taslima Nasreen (also Taslima Nasrin) is an author who describes herself as a 'secular humanist, feminist and physician'.

In August 2015 in response to Europe's refugee crisis she tweeted a range of anti-Muslim statements, including:

'In the past Muslims invaded countries by swords, now they invade with large population.

'Europe was the safest place on Earth. When we atheists were threatened by Islamists,we could take shelter in Europe. It won't be possible anymore'

'I hope I won't be alive when Europe introduces sharia law.'
