**INTEL REPORT**--American Christian extremist Steven Anderson *(photo above)*, best known for his hateful diatribes and calls for violence against LGBTQ people, has been denied entry into 26 European countries this week. The Arizona pastor has already been banned from Jamaica, South Africa, the UK, and Canada; he was arrested and deported while in Botswana in 2016.

Anderson planned a trip to the Netherlands to do some “soul winning” [according to the *Netherlands Times*](https://nltimes.nl/2019/05/01/american-hate-preacher-denied-access-netherlands). After activists pointed out Anderson’s history, State Secretary Mark Harbers of Justice and Security responded by not only banning Anderson from entering Dutch boundaries, he made sure that Anderson wasn’t allowed entry into the entire [Schengen Area.](https://visaguide.world/europe/schengen-visa/schengen-area-countries-list/)

The area functions as a single jurisdiction for international travel purposes, with a common visa policy, for 26 countries and encompasses Europe and Iceland.

The Dutch government is “taking strong action against extremist speakers who, by spreading their beliefs, restrict the freedoms of others or even incite hatred or violence,” according to Harbers.

Anderson is a Holocaust denier who [praised the Pulse nightclub shooter](https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2016/09/listen-anti-gay-interview-got-american-hate-pastor-arrested-africa/), calling victims “a bunch of disgusting perverts and pedophiles” and “disgusting homosexuals who the Bible says were worthy of death.”

In the past, Anderson has [encouraged his congregants](https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2017/12/minister-encourages-flock-slaughter-gays-christmas/) to kill all gay people, calling it a “cure for AIDS.” He has also advocated for [world governments to execute gay people](http://bilerico.lgbtqnation.com/2014/12/arizona_pastor_again_says_government_should_execut.php).
