ConservativeHippie, "Isn't Singapore a pretty good mix of Muslim, Hindu, Buddhists with a few Christians thrown in? I believe there is not much ethnic or religious tension there, and I'm sure the Muslim people in Singapore would not be in a hurry to give up their freedom and lifestyle"

Perhaps there have always been compelling reasons for the apparent quiet in Singapore.

Fascinating reports from a rally...

"“Stand With Muslims Against Racism” reads one of their huge banners.

Back here, on the anti-multicultural side, Danny Nalliah, a Sri Lankan immigrant from the Christian Catch the Fire Ministry, climbs on the ute. He begins a chant: Aussie! Aussie! Aussie! Oi! Oi! Oi! He warns of Sharia Law creeping into Australia. He says Muslims are coming here and not assimilating. What a tangle! If the Aussie way of life is leaving your grievances behind when you immigrate, maybe he’s the one not assimilating."

"About half of these Reclaim Australia people are from Catch the Fire Ministry, or their political branch, Rise Up Australia. Out of these maybe a quarter are non-white — Asians, Indians and Africans.

I upload a collage of this very multicultural anti-multicultural rally to my Facebook. Immediately progressives start psychoanalysing. These are brown people who are victims of racist Australia! They want to be accepted by the dominant white supremacy culture and so debase themselves this way."

"Catch The Fire Ministry/Rise Up Australia is not the only gang here supporting Reclaim Australia. I walk away from the ute, deeper into the crowd where big red flags cast shadows. This is the territory of the far-right United Patriots Front. Here are white Australians who look like bikies.

“Turn on the gas!” a leather-clad man shouts at Jewish John Safran.

“Is that a joke?” I ask.

“No, no,” he mumbles, immediately backing down. I’ve met Holocaust deniers before but this is the first Holocaust joke denier I’ve come across.

An emo-Nazi, lanky, dressed in black, with a Korean boy band haircut, just stares and stares at me.

“You Jewish parasite,“ he hisses. “Write a book about me and see what happens!”"

"“[....]off, you’re not wanted here!” he snaps, motioning I belong to the lefties on the other side of the police line. He tells me he’ll come after me if I write anything funny about him. Think I’ll still leave the Korean boy band haircut in."

Are these some of the "values" to which o sung wu alluded?

G'day there RUNNER...

So our venerable Ms HANSEN-YOUNG wishes to exhibit compassion does she ? Well how about showing the same level of compassion for her fellow Australian countrymen and women ? Surely their future safety, their welfare, their culture, and there very survival, is just as important to her and her kind ? Or does she prefer those who offer no allegiance to Australia, other then a more than passing curiosity for it's Social Security system ?

ONTHEBEACH...

I just can't believe, even the 'Left' wishes to further incite and complicate our already strained multicultural relations ? Even 'blind Freddy' can see the only possible outcome would lead to violence, by setting one group of Australians against another. It matters not, who's right or who's wrong ? What really matters is trying to divert, at all costs, these shimmering tensions from further compounding and exacerbating to such a point, where our beloved Nation could inexorably slide into a state of anarchy.

JAY of MELBOURNE...

Your summation of societies living equitably under Sharia law, with respect, perhaps you left out one component of their lifestyle ? The inevitable knock on the door by the 'religious police' to ensure you and yours are living, strictly under the provision of important Islamic tenets ?

Poirot,
Ha! I literally ran into him turning the corner into Meyer's lane on Saturday morning. John Safran is one of the few remaining true journalists, he sees the nuances and appreciates the "wide and shallow" definition of "White" we apply in White Nationalism. Anyone who'd run him off their picket has rocks in their head or is an obvious "neo Nazi" plant because he has a good reputation for just reporting the facts, his book on the murder of Neo Nazi nutcase and closet homosexual Richard Barrett was excellent.
As for the Rise Up! people they're Christian "Happy Clappers", not nationalists, they take anti discrimination to an extreme, even tolerating the likes of Glenn "Race Civil War" Anderson at their rallies. For the record the Neo Nazis present at the Reclaim Australia rally in Melbourne were confronted and rather forcefully ejected by Ralph Cerminara and his men once the UPF contingent had arrived from their assembly point in the Carlton gardens, there's an amusing video of Anderson being humiliated on the UPF Facebook.
Old Ross "The Skull" May and his mate from Squadron 88 also tried to sneak onto the UPF bus in Sydney and were likewise given the bum's rush by Ralph and co, a similarly amusing confrontation occurred and footage is available of the UPF page.

It is confusing trying to work out whos who in the zoo of the left.
It seems the left green are divided into those that are greens and
those that are really abandoned communists.
They feel lost since Joseph Stalin and his successors died out.
The left is further divided, but not accross the same fracture, into
those that want the best for Australia and the Quislings who want to
destroy our history and culture, to use an inaccurate word, and are
happy to just let the fascist/religious take over.

I just see on the TV, while I am typing this, that the ABC is
attacking the Regain Australia group.
Of course they are not saying,
"We the ABC accuse the Regain of being racists", they just quote people who say they are.

Goebles had a phrase for that. I'll bet Vidkun Quisling went along with that also.

Poirot, I hope Jimmy Barnes and John Schumann saved a few pennies from their heyday.

After pissing off their most avid fans, they won't be getting too many more royalty checks.

Maybe they should've just kept their mouths shut and waited til it all blew over.
Now they have declared their enmity publicly. Oops!

So John Safran is pals with Muslims now?
The same John Safran who made a career out of mocking religion?

Strange how this "movement" brings out the hypocrisy and self-destruction of hasbeen celebrities.
