Dear Poirot,

I enjoyed all of the translations.
I thought some others might as well.
:-)

Hi Poirot,
A good laugh from that one, many a true word is spoken in jest.

Yes, well put Poirot. You certainly raised some smiles from me :)

The MP in question of course has every right to go to whatever violent, mad 'rally' he wants to, as long as he isn't breaking the law.

What is not good is him going to such a divisive rally as an MP, representing the current Government no less.

In a multicultural country that allows freedom of religion, or no religion at all, to be practised, the Government or its representatives should not be seen to be so obviously against one religion or another.
Especially if that MP is joining the crowd of obviously aggressive protesters who appeared to consist of the usual mad 'white supremacist ' crowd, just out for a fun day of Muslim bashing.

Of course, I was just as disgusted at the aggressive antics of the opposition crowd too, as violence from any group in our society should not be tolerated or condoned by any of us.

My feelings as well Suse, the right to protest in a non violent fashion. Fortunate there is little support in the community for both the ratbags of the right, and of the left. The rally in Sydney attracted a couple of hundred fruit loops and that was it. I believe in Melbourne it was one copper for every protester.
As I said in the opening post its not a good look when a government MP fronts up to address an obviously extremest minority. Abbott failed to distance himself from this ratbag MP, which in itself gives legitimacy to Christensen's action.

Pericles,
Have a look to see what has happened to the "useful idiots"
in the Middle east.

Poirot, from memory, you are I think one of the ladies on here.
I would think that you would not be happy to be supporting the
promoters of Sharia Law.

During the last real war there was a word to describe people like the
supporters of the Islamists: Quisling !
The left, that turned out to oppose the demonstration, likes to label
themselves as "progressives" (contradiction of terms) are really Quislings.
We all know who are the Quislings on here.

After the war many of the Quislings were hung, but this time it will
not be necessary for that they will be decapitated by the Islamists anyway.
I think Quisling is a more apt term than Useful Idiot.

Just out of idle curiosity; which country has a thoroughly integrated Muslim population?
