POLICE have been asked to protect Australia's largest mosque next weekend because of concerns that a bikini march staged to coincide with the anniversary of the Cronulla riots may get out of control.
The caretaker of Lakemba Mosque, the Lebanese Muslim Association, says it is taking no risks, requesting at least 32 police officers to protect the place of worship on Saturday and Sunday.
Association president Tom Zreik said he met police on several occasions to ensure there would be adequate numbers of officers present to defuse problems and arrest troublemakers.
"We are treating this as something that is funny and hilarious but also taking precautions," Mr Zreika said of the bikini march. "Some people may see this as provocation and the last thing that we want is to see anyone being attacked."
The organiser, Melbourne grandmother Christine Hawkins, has asked women nationally to dress in bikinis and colourful beachwear and rally outside large mosques to show their disgust at comments by leading Muslim cleric, Sheik Taj el-Din al Hilaly, who likened women to "uncovered meat".
A white supremacist website has promoted the march. Members of Sydney's Muslim community began raising their concerns last week, with hundreds joining an internet discussion to find a "peaceful avenue" to protect their mosque.
Many Muslim women suggested joining the march in their hijabs and burqas to voice their outrage at comments made by Senator Bronwyn Bishop and Prime Minister John Howard about the way they dress. "We're really asking people not to bother coming to the mosque," Mr Zreika said.
"All this is doing is degrading women and giving men a great excuse to have a perv. There are better ways women can express their concerns."
In Cronulla yesterday members of the Lakembaroos sports club attended a barbecue at North Cronulla Surf Club to mark the progress of more than 20 Muslim lifesavers, who are training for their bronze medallions.
"If we didn't have the events of Cronulla last December in the back of our minds, we wouldn't even be conscious that the people here were of Lebanese background," Community Relations Commission chairman Stepan Kerkyasharian said.
"They look Australian, they are taking part in an Australian activity and you have to ask 'what's the problem?"'
The training is an initiative of Surf Life Saving Australia.
Realistically, if the "mainstream" groups do not speak out against what the Muslim immigrants are doing, other groups will fill the vacuum. If the white citizens of Australia get sufficiently alarmed, then they will support WHOEVER comes forward with a plan to deal with the issues, by any means necessary
From their website:
About Us:
"Patriot Alliance Downunder comprises of a number of patriots and nationalists alike from New Zealand and Australia. We aim to counter-act the lies and deceit championed by the established controlled media and leftist intelligentsia."
Kinda sounds like us.
This is how it should be. Muslims need to live just as Dhimmis used to live in Muslim countries...uneasily. Only if they are worried what the majority might do will they stay in line. This is regrettable for a democracy, but Islam is not compatible with our core values, and thus must be kept under greater scrutiny.
That girl is just nasty. Her body is about as feminine as an 11-year old boy. She doesn't need to carry a pork chop, she needs to EAT one (or something!)
From further down the same page "We do not consider any race superior to any other, yet acknowlege the fact that we, like others, are unique and deserve the opportunity of self determination away from foreign interference"
She looks good to me. So what if she's an a-cup?
Is there a problem with that?
Protect the place of worship my foot. Those police are needed to protect the protestors. I hope there's a big turnout and it just blows all those muzzies minds; just melts them right down.
BIKINIS 'n BURKHAS
LOL!
If they want that, they can go back to their own country to do it. Don't go establishing themselves in another country and THEN demand that they can set up their own laws and ignore the laws of the foreign country in which they are residing. That's what they want. They want to set up their own small country within a country until they are powerful enough for a coup.
Ummm. Well, it's too cold over here right now for that sort of thing.
It is high summer in australia. They are on the bottom half of the globe.
Right... Just as soon as Muslims throughout the world provide protection for Christians and Jews in their midst.
It's long past due for Muslims to suffer the consequences of their actions and beliefs.
F'em all. The whole world needs to go "postal" on the shiiteheads.
Semper Fi
or a simply.....'I love it when a plan comes together.'
That is especially attractive to members of a certain moon worshiping cult...
Yes. I know this. I was responding to another poster about Europe. Nothing to do with Australia.
Muslims need police protection from women in bikinis?
LOL.
hey ARE in (what used to be) their own country . This was what the white Australians of "Patriot Alliance Downunder" were saying, not the Muzzies. T
If there is a red-head in the bunch, I'm ready for another lesson:):)
Well, I'd suggest the Ladies of a Certain Age don some nice breezy shorts, a colorful and comfortable summer top. Or maybe one of those t-shirts with a bikini "painted" on the front. Muzzies think all women should wear wool tents in public.
