Nicolai Sennels has been described as 'leader' of the Pegida Denmark[1], a group inspired by the German anti-immigration, anti-Islam PEGIDA movement.

History

Sennels was reportedly born in 1976 and stood unsuccessfully for parliament in Denmark with the Danish People's Party in 2011.[1]

Ideology

According to Linda Pershing, Sennels is

a harsh critic of Islam in general and of Muslims' immigration to Denmark and Europe, in particular. Countering accusations that "Islamophobia" is at the heart of his beliefs, Sennels instead advocates the term "Islamonausea" instead "to describe a feeling of nausea, disgust, displeasure, discomfort or aversion that arises by itself when encountering Islam or Islamic culture, or whatever or whoever represents it."[1]
