Living with death threats for daring to speak out against
Islamist jihadist violence. The former Charlie Hebdo journalist
and French-Moroccan writer Zineb El Rhazoui knows the risks can
be a matter of life and death. She was working for the satirical
magazine when 12 people were murdered in the Paris office in
2015. She happened to be on holiday. Subjected to a multitude of
death threats because of her determination to speak out against
what she sees as the malign and dangerous influence of Islam, she
now lives life under police protection. El Rhazoui has since
written a book on what she calls Islamic fascism. She tells
Hardtalk's Stephen Sackur that she feels like she's fighting a
war.
