Says Susie brandishing her own form of faith based philosophy.

Dear Josephus, at least any form of faith I might have is based on science or common sense, and not on myths and fairy tales...

Melton unrest explained.

Reclaim Australia: Oppose Fundamentalist Islam. oppose Nationalism, oppose 'Racism" ie any mention of Anglo-European Australian ethnic interests, explicit support for Jews/Zionism but no mention of Palestinian ethnic interests.

No Room for Racism: Oppose fundamentalist Islam, oppose Nationalism, oppose "Racism" ie any mention of Anglo-European ethnic interests, explicit support for Palestinian ethnic interests, no mention of Jewish ethnic interests/Zionism.

There's basically no difference between the two groups, they're two sects of the same denomination, it's a sectarian dispute.

This is not a chicken or egg situation, No Room For Racism started the violence by attacking Reclaim members at Federation square in May, now they have a rival gang formed on the sidelines of these rallies who are attending primarily to fight with ANTIFA and their allies. Having personally attended No Room For Racism protests I can attest that they are primarily motivated by racial hatred of Anglo-European Australians with their supposed socialist dogma as window dressing.
Their rivals, (whoever they are nowadays) are motivated primarily by a desire to engage in combat with "Left Wing Bigots", their supposed Nationalist leanings are inconsqequential and poorly articulated.
In the end the inevitable melee at Reclaim events is of no import whatsoever, it's just street fighting for it's own sake and actually masks or deflects criticism of the very dubious nature of the movement and it's very real failings.
Reclaim as a whole is premised it seems on "Diversity minus Islam" and which now extends to Diversity minus Islam, minus Nationalism and minus any overt reference to Anglo European Australia.

Susie, I can guarantee you have read more fairy tales than I have in my lifetime as you seem to be a girl who believes in the term.

I am a student of history and physics, seeking observable facts that do and have happened. Most science today is theoretical and can only be evaluated in written equations. So you assume Christians do not believe the reality of physics, when we claim God created all reality.

Claim all you like Josephus, that still doesn't make any God real.
I might like reading stories about werewolves and vampires, but I know they aren't real.

Politics and religion definitely does not mix well.
One only needs to look at Cory Bernardi and his 'beliefs' to see that fact.

Suseonline,
Religion and politics is a way people see the world. All people have a way of understanding the world including yourself.

Buddhism is a religion and does not have a deity but a way of understanding the world. Atheism is primarily a negative view of deity and a way of interpreting the world. If you are atheistic or agnostic you will interpret the world through that lens. You are equally religiously zealous in your view of the world and you conflict with others views and are just as hostile to others views as is evident here, by degrading their views as fairy tales. Fairy tales is your view of others views and not the view of others, which identifies your disdain for others views. You need to show factual scientific evidence to disprove others views, not just emotive slogans
