A JOURNALIST has faced a barrage of chilling rape and death threats after criticising the burka – forcing her to go into hiding.

In a controversial article, Lejla Colak said forcing women to wear the Islamic headscarf was like forcing them to strap a sex toy to their heads.

Twisted online trolls have launched a sick hate campaign against the Bosnian reporter, offering a cash prize if anyone kills or rapes her.

One social media user, reportedly a member of the Bosnian army, wrote: “Are there any volunteers to rape lovely Lejla? I will personally pay for it.”

In her article, Colak wrote: “To wear a burka, niqab or any other religious sign on your head is the same as wearing a strap-on in public.

“Imagine walking around with a giant strap-on and traumatising people.

“Religion is supposed to represent something that is extremely personal just like an individual sexuality.”
