In 2007 the English nationalist campaigner Stephen Gash teamed up with Gravers, and also become a leading figure in the group.

Stop Islamisiringen af Danmark

According to Gravers, SIAD was founded by a group of dissident activists from Den Danske Forening in June 2005.

rather quickly we experienced that The Danish Society didn’t want to act in any way. All they wanted was only to talk internaly about the islam problems and publish a well informed magazine four times a year.

But our group up north in Jutland were aware of that we had to do something now if we would have any chance to safe Denmark from the Islamic invasion. We new that it was five minutes to twelve. Therefore we decided to start an organisation whose aim was to wake up the danes through actions and provocations, of course within the limits of the law. All in all to put the government in the devils dilemma, that means, no matter what they did, SIAD would have a win-and-win situation. If they allowed our demonstrations, there would be serious trouble, and if they wouldn’t allow us to demonstrate, SIAD had proved that the freedom of speech and the right to gather in public was suppressed and eliminated.

Counterjihad Summit and Stop Islamisation of Europe

Gravers spoke at the UK and Scandinavia Counterjihad Summit organised by the Center for Vigilant Freedom in April 2007. In hi speech he announced the formation of a pan-European group, Stop Islamisation of Europe:

I want to thank Baron Bodissey and also the 910 group, first of all for mentioning SIAD on their blogs and for your great support! But also for your encouraring of sending mails to our minister of justice. We have found out that we have almost the same ideas as the 910 group, so we match very well!

In cooperation with No Sharia in England, we agreed to try to expand the ideas of SIAD to the rest of Europe through the umbrella organisation Stop the islamisation of Europe SIOE. I would very much like to share SIOE with 910 group, but we will get into these things later tonight.

In November 2007 Gash and Gravers set up a limited liability partnership called Sowloon LLP registered to Gash's home address in Carlisle. According to the partnership's Annual Returns filed on 16 January 2009 Gash and Gravers are the only two 'designated members' of the partnership.
