Doog,
Both your opinions and those of Premier Andrews are so obviously incorrect they are not worth commenting on.

For example, what is wrong in having a dislike for Islamic ideology. Show me what is nice about Islam? I would like to see all the good Islam does and the good it advocates. Does the word 'love' for fellow man have any concept in Islam?

Let me explain via a very simple example how the media and politicians distort the truth, scroll down in this link and look at the photo of the yelling man.

Read the caption and understand that nothing in that line is true, the men are not UPF members, the names and photos of the UPF members are available on their Facebook page. What's more the photo was not taken at the August rally, even though it may have been shot on the same day it was taken in Hargreaves Mall, hundreds of metres away, you can see the sign for the Original Pie Shop in the background.
So nothing in that article is truthful or accurate and the Premier's comments are ill informed,condescending and divisive, get used to the fact that Fairfax and channel 9 are opposed to the UPF and report according to their bias and what's worse is that they think their readers are stupid.

That is the day Bendigo was infiltrated by radicals, it is well known. They had no intention of having a peaceful demonstration, it was a set up right from the start.

A demonstration is not meant to disrupt local business, doing their Saturday trade. That is exactly what was the intention. Collateral damage was extreme.

This mob looked like something you would find in a prison.

A band of no hoper idiots. A midweek beheading shows the mentality of these terrorists. That is no way to have a peaceable demonstration. This weekend there was supposed to be a wine festival in town, which has been canceled.

Bendigo is a peaceful town with weather other parts would love to have.

The police are ready to help protesters have a peaceful demonstration; once that line is crossed the gloves are off. Dogs and all.

150 muslim people live in Bendigo. And they are disgusted at the events that have taken place. An out of control demonstration is a terrorist attack.

Special CCTV is in place for the event. Which is no less than thuggery and disruption to a peaceful town by outsiders.

Doog I was there from start to finish, it was totally peaceful, all of the violence comes from the pro Islam side, they burnt the flag to provoke a fight and the reason a handful of UPF supporters broke through the line is because the Leftists were spitting on them. That scuffle played over and over on the news was over in about fifteen seconds, no one was hurt, no one was arrested, look for the video on facebook.

I am disgusted with the PM as he urges 'mutual respect' in relation to muslims. We have given muslims every respect relative to their religion, and the same to other religions, but that respect has not been returned by many muslims.

Why is it the youth of other religions are not being radicalized and want to harm us. If muslims want to continue to enjoy the freedoms they get here then they had better quickly get their act together and set themselves on the right path. The PM should reach out alright, grab their shirt front and poke them in the chest and make it clear we will not stand by and allow the situation to continue. The politicians first responsibility is to ensure our citizens have a safe and cohesive society. We do not actually need muslims, there are plenty of others that can replace them and will do unless there is a change of attitude.

We can stop further entry of muslims and deny citizenship to those already here. Deny family reunion provisions and allow their youths to go to overseas war zones and not allow them re-entry. We can place restrictions on muslim activities if we wish and we will do so if muslims continue to hold our laws and society in contempt.

Let it be known we demand respect from all within our borders otherwise we will send them packing.

That would be a start. Not the soft lovey dovey approach he has adopted.

History one day will show that letting them in was a case of poor judgment.
