POLICE have been asked to protect Australia's largest mosque next weekend because of concerns that a bikini march staged to coincide with the anniversary of the Cronulla riots may get out of control.
The caretaker of Lakemba Mosque, the Lebanese Muslim Association, says it is taking no risks, requesting at least 32 police officers to protect the place of worship on Saturday and Sunday.
Association president Tom Zreik said he met police on several occasions to ensure there would be adequate numbers of officers present to defuse problems and arrest troublemakers.
"We are treating this as something that is funny and hilarious but also taking precautions," Mr Zreika said of the bikini march. "Some people may see this as provocation and the last thing that we want is to see anyone being attacked."
The organiser, Melbourne grandmother Christine Hawkins, has asked women nationally to dress in bikinis and colourful beachwear and rally outside large mosques to show their disgust at comments by leading Muslim cleric, Sheik Taj el-Din al Hilaly, who likened women to "uncovered meat".
A white supremacist website has promoted the march. Members of Sydney's Muslim community began raising their concerns last week, with hundreds joining an internet discussion to find a "peaceful avenue" to protect their mosque.
Many Muslim women suggested joining the march in their hijabs and burqas to voice their outrage at comments made by Senator Bronwyn Bishop and Prime Minister John Howard about the way they dress. "We're really asking people not to bother coming to the mosque," Mr Zreika said.
"All this is doing is degrading women and giving men a great excuse to have a perv. There are better ways women can express their concerns."
In Cronulla yesterday members of the Lakembaroos sports club attended a barbecue at North Cronulla Surf Club to mark the progress of more than 20 Muslim lifesavers, who are training for their bronze medallions.
"If we didn't have the events of Cronulla last December in the back of our minds, we wouldn't even be conscious that the people here were of Lebanese background," Community Relations Commission chairman Stepan Kerkyasharian said.
"They look Australian, they are taking part in an Australian activity and you have to ask 'what's the problem?"'
The training is an initiative of Surf Life Saving Australia.
If the bikini-clad gals are carrying pork chops the scene would be complete.
I'd like to see pigs dressed in bikinis marching along the women
American mosques need the same love and care our Aussie comrades have pioneered. Here in Atlanta,Georgia we have a brand-new huge mosque on 14th Street one block from our beloved Georgia Tech campus. There are plenty of geeks, greeks and co-techs available to wander over in the flesh or in drag TODAY. Chitlins and salted pork rinds are abundant in the quick stops.
The 14th Street mosque is a mission driven congregation of multinational spritually driven gentlemen. You may have recently read of their canadien outreach networking efforts with Georgia Tech students. Their HUGE mosque with vidalia onion shaped domes will be a MECCA in the southeast for recruitment and enrollment of followers for the next great wave of regional islamic enlightenment. It will also attract a wide variety of GS5s-13s in neighboring dwellings to qualify for their next advancement to less threatening posts.
Media must spell all the names right and girls; remember to decorate your navals.
Mr. Tagline's got yer "protection" right here, mooselimbs.
Rags don't like it?
Rags are offended?
Too damn bad. Rags can get the hell out.
misguided authors....
LOL......too funny!!!
I can think of several high-caliber ways women can express their concerns about muslims. Or should I say large-bore?
Good! Too bad the Europeans don't have the guts to engage in this sort of demo.
Ummm. Well, it's too cold over here right now for that sort of thing.
Having said that, the Scottish women wear next to nothing every Friday and Saturday night of the year- no matter how cold.
They should also all have a large pot-belly pig on a leash.
Muslims act exactly like American Christians are accused of acting. Have you ever heard a liberal say Christians are 'scary'? Have they ever said the same of Muslims?
I would say that the bikini clad girls are the ones that need police protection from the savages.
Ahh, the irony...
Sorry to keep asking these webpage questions, but there are continuing difficulties with making the page. Can you go, particularly if you use Internet Explorer, to http://www.freerepublic.com/~jedimasterpikachu/ and freepmail whether it looks organized or not to you. The width of the topic tables were set to 100% and the pixels of the non-table pictures were specified some minutes ago.
How is that misguided? You are obviously into illegal immigration (judging from your username). Many (very probably most) people against illegal immigration are not against it for particularly racist reasons. However, you ought to acknowledge that racists (of the European-descended variety) would also be against illegal immigration, along with sane people. Sometimes people who support bad causes can agree with good ideas.
Realistically, if the "mainstream" groups do not speak out against what the Muslim immigrants are doing, other groups will fill the vacuum. If the white citizens of Australia get sufficiently alarmed, then they will support WHOEVER comes forward with a plan to deal with the issues, by any means necessary
From their website:
About Us:
"Patriot Alliance Downunder comprises of a number of patriots and nationalists alike from New Zealand and Australia. We aim to counter-act the lies and deceit championed by the established controlled media and leftist intelligentsia."
Kinda sounds like us.
This is how it should be. Muslims need to live just as Dhimmis used to live in Muslim countries...uneasily. Only if they are worried what the majority might do will they stay in line. This is regrettable for a democracy, but Islam is not compatible with our core values, and thus must be kept under greater scrutiny.
That girl is just nasty. Her body is about as feminine as an 11-year old boy. She doesn't need to carry a pork chop, she needs to EAT one (or something!)
From further down the same page "We do not consider any race superior to any other, yet acknowlege the fact that we, like others, are unique and deserve the opportunity of self determination away from foreign interference"
She looks good to me. So what if she's an a-cup?
Is there a problem with that?
Protect the place of worship my foot. Those police are needed to protect the protestors. I hope there's a big turnout and it just blows all those muzzies minds; just melts them right down.
BIKINIS 'n BURKHAS
LOL!
If they want that, they can go back to their own country to do it. Don't go establishing themselves in another country and THEN demand that they can set up their own laws and ignore the laws of the foreign country in which they are residing. That's what they want. They want to set up their own small country within a country until they are powerful enough for a coup.
Ummm. Well, it's too cold over here right now for that sort of thing.
It is high summer in australia. They are on the bottom half of the globe.
Right... Just as soon as Muslims throughout the world provide protection for Christians and Jews in their midst.
It's long past due for Muslims to suffer the consequences of their actions and beliefs.
F'em all. The whole world needs to go "postal" on the shiiteheads.
Semper Fi
or a simply.....'I love it when a plan comes together.'
That is especially attractive to members of a certain moon worshiping cult...
Yes. I know this. I was responding to another poster about Europe. Nothing to do with Australia.
Muslims need police protection from women in bikinis?
LOL.
hey ARE in (what used to be) their own country . This was what the white Australians of "Patriot Alliance Downunder" were saying, not the Muzzies. T
If there is a red-head in the bunch, I'm ready for another lesson:):)
Well, I'd suggest the Ladies of a Certain Age don some nice breezy shorts, a colorful and comfortable summer top. Or maybe one of those t-shirts with a bikini "painted" on the front. Muzzies think all women should wear wool tents in public.
Thank you! The fashion industry and the media is trying to push a male homosexual image of what is attractive. Women should have curves. I also think it also has to do with a warped sense of egalitarianism. If everyone should be "equal," they should look equal, regardless of apparel. That's why, in principle, I support the ideal of identifiably-different clothing between the sexes.
Creepy? Her anorexia or whatever is creepy and just gross. Others here clearly agree. So me thinks it is you who needs an eye test.
She looks like she is on the Nicole Ritchie diet.
Leave it to a Muslim to equate healthy heterosexual attraction with perversity. ;)
"A white supremacist website has promoted the march."
Ward Connerlly in one of his books mentioned how during the debate about affirmative action in the 90's, the leftists at one of the UC campuses set up a panel with the usual assortment of leftist retreads taking the pro affirmative action side of the aisle. Who did they invite for the con side? David Duke. Its a typical leftist tactic - paint the other side as being one that is populated only by racists and psychos and thus those who agree with the "wrong" side of the argument are akin to such losers.
That said, I don't find her all that attractive but not because she is thin. She just doesn't strike me as anything special.
Don't we all???
