Topping it off; At Cronulla;
the Left wing communists (German Party 1933) accusing
the anti-Islam party of being fascists, and trying hard to attack and
prevent them from speaking. Stalin would have been proud.
The NSW police were the only barrier to an attack on the anti-Islam group.

What surprises me is that Andrew Bolt was spot on, the left brigades
these days are unreconstructed communists.
Anyone that speaks other than the party line is violently attacked, by
a masked screaming crowd.
Haven't I seen old films about these sort of riots ?

SAINTS, you asked "So in your opinion what’s changed?
I gave a number of points in my opinion, for which you require evidence. It's self-evident? Communications, slick marketing and the fact of the extant caliphate.

I don't know why you'd think I don't also support the punitive approach to the problem (policing and courts). What I'm saying is it's not enough. We need the Muslim community onside, not the Reclaim Australia type rhetoric demonizing it and exacerbating the problem.

What are you saying that's better than what I am, that you have the final solution?

I've just come across this fascinating e-book:

http://www.conflicts.rem33.com/images/books/Ibn%20Warraq%20-%20Why%20I%20Am%20Not%20a%20Muslim.pdf

called 'Why I am not a Muslim', by a passionate and courageous ex-Muslim. There is so much in it that I haven't got very far, but it has given me a much more sympathetic understanding of the predicament of Muslims in the modern world, and of their difficulties in breaking away from a reactionary mind-set and political structure.

Good holiday reading !

Back in the 1930's, in the UK. Public Order laws were made that prevented people from going masked so as to hide their identity. Now I bet these same laws were posted in Australia? The answer for demonstrators going masked should be immediate arrest for this offence.
Of course sleazy ambulance chaser lawyers make sure laws are forgotten and the coppers are not able to find their bottoms with both their hands.
The cops at least can claim they are ill educated and basically stupid the lawyers only defence is greed.

How true, I also think the same when people attend demonstrations/rallies for their "cause" - then cover their faces?

Some trying to start a fight with the police. All this being shown on TV.

At this time - they generally lose all public support and become just another "mob".

Sorry - JBowyer - spelt your name incorrectly.
