Anders Gravers Pedersen

Gravers Pedersen (front) in 2008

Anders Gravers Pedersen (born 13 May 1960) is a Danish anti-Islam activist.[1][2] He is the chairman and founder of Stop Islamisation of Denmark (SIAD), and leader of Stop Islamisation of Europe (SIOE).[3][4] He also established transatlantic connections with Stop Islamization of America (SIOA)[5] and Stop Islamization of Nations (SION).[6]

Activities

Demonstrations

Gravers Pedersen has been instrumental in forming the street-based activist parts of the counter-jihad movement since he founded Stop Islamisation of Denmark (SIAD) in 2005.[7] He founded the organisation in response to seeing television images of Muslims burning the Danish flag as part of to the Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy.[8] He was formerly a member of the anti-immigration policy-focused Danish Association, but founded SIAD as he wanted more action.[9] With SIAD, he helped organise the first international counter-jihad conference in Copenhagen in 2007 along with the Center for Vigilant Freedom (CVF).[9][10]

Gravers Pedersen founded Stop Islamisation of Europe (SIOE) following the 2007 conference together with English activist Stephen Gash.[8][9] In the capacity of leading SIOE, SIAD and Gravers Pedersen were each sentenced to pay fines of 10,000 kr in 2008 for violating a court order against using Kurt Westergaard's Muhammad cartoon at a rally.[11][12]

In 2010, he helped form Stop Islamization of America (SIOA) with the bloggers Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer.[8] The same year, Gravers Pedersen was assaulted at a rally in Aalborg.[13] He participated in staging a rally and arranging a counter-jihad demonstration along with the English Defence League (EDL), including Tommy Robinson, and numerous other international activists in Aarhus in March 2012.[4][14] In August 2012, he participated in an international counter-jihad rally in Stockholm along with Robinson, the EDL, Geller, Spencer, and the newly founded Stop Islamization of Nations (SION) among others.[8][15]

Gravers Pedersen said in 2013, that due to his criticism of Islam, he has to live on a secret address, and that he has to have bodyguards when appearing in public.[16]

Contesting elections

Gravers Pedersen contested the municipal election in Aalborg in 2005, in which SIAD received a total of 1,172 votes.[14] In the 2007 Danish general election Pedersen stood in Jutland and gained 73 votes.[17] He attempted to run for a seat in the Danish parliament in 2009[18] and in 2012.[19]
