Dear Is Mise,

Perhaps those people were made to feel welcome in this
country and did not have to face bigotry on the levels
that Muslims experience on a daily basis. Could it also
be that their dress and physical appearance also made they
fit more easily into the community as well. They could
become invisible - whereas Muslims are more noticeable.
And heaven help you if your skin is darker - right?
Besides who would even dream of coming up against a
"pro-guns" crowd demonstating?

Jeese Louise!

Don't you ever let facts and evidence influence your opinion. That would never do.

Is Mise,

I took part in the Moratorium protest against the Vietnam War in the early 1970's, involved 100,000 people. They were peaceful also, until the police minus their badge numbers, and literally assisted by members of the Nazi Party moved in to arrest peaceful demonstrators. Here is a bit on one 'colorful' member of the extreme right in Sydney Ross May (The Skull), I remember him well, being interviewed by the man himself, Jim Saleam, Fuhrer of The Australia First Party.

These people will be jumping with joy at the Brandis changes.

I deal with facts all the time.
Foxy,
What, in a Library ?

I wonder what the difference was between these protesters and those Muslims posted above?
is Mise,
very funny if it weren't so serious.

Individual,

The very fabric of our society is being changed for the worst, the racism that is Islam is a cancer eating away.

Foxy,

It just might be that the Irish protests were by people who were not inclined to violence, the Gun Owners had the means to be very violent yet they chose not to be violent.

Might have been a cultural differene?
