Anti-Islam rallies, counter-protests flare in Australia
AFP ^ | 7/19/15

SYDNEY — Rival anti-Islam and anti-racism rallies saw hundreds protest across Australia at the weekend with violent clashes in Melbourne, as police officers mounted a strong presence in cities Sunday to keep the two sides apart.

About 100 anti-Islam protesters from the Reclaim Australia and United Patriots Front groups waved the national flag and yelled chants at a rally in Sydney Sunday, with signs declaring “Say no to Sharia” and “Immigration is the elephant in the room”.

They were met by around 250 counter-demonstrators who carried banners including “No racism, no Islamophobia.”

Police — including riot squad officers and mounted units — packed Martin Place in the heart of Sydney’s central business district to separate the rival groups.

Five people were arrested at the Sydney demonstrations, a New South Wales state police spokesman told AFP, with two expected to be charged.

There were some brief scuffles but no sign of the violence seen in sister city Melbourne on Saturday, where police had to use capsicum spray to subdue protesters.

Islamophobia. Hmm.

You say you want to kill us. All of us. You are killing us. Why should we not be afraid?

This word, "Islamophobia", Instead of rejecting the characterization, why not embrace it?

It's perfectly rational to fear what these crazies will do. And pray tell, how do we know which ones of you are the ones who will carry out what your religion compels you to do?

Islamophobic? You damn right I am.

If you are a "moderate Muslim", then you shouldn't complain that we fear your kind, because how do we know you're moderate, how do we know which ones of you want to kill us?

We have no choice but to tell you, all of you, you're not welcome here, get out of our country.

Sustainable development (Agenda 21) will kickstart the ball rolling for the AC to emerge at the UN headquarters in New York from September 25 - 27 when the false prophet is given the information he needs to influence the masses to submit to it for the good of all mankind.

You are correct.

We all want things to return the way they were. Especially me.

But it will not. I wish it would. But it will not.

There are definitely several things happening in the month of September.

Going to be interesting to watch. The market close on Friday will be the opening for Monday (duh), the day after Elul 29. Guess we can see some futures Sunday night.

But several events in New York, U.N., D.C. with Bammy meeting Francis, etc.

Next weekend is the 9th of Av over Saturday and Sunday I think.

We’re seeing the signs of a NWO about to emerge all over the place. I think the AC is about to make his move this year sometime but people that are not in tune with the holy spirit will not realize who he is. I think we will know who he is pretty quickly and the liberal / progressives will treat him like another rockstar. Still haven’t completely ruled out Obammy but if he’s not the AC he has his phone number on speed dial.

Watch this from 2:25 - 3:20 - he seems to think so - time will tell.

Then he goes on to give Francis a nod. Oy.

I talked to him ever so briefly last year, but he was too busy this year to talk when I saw him in person.

Muslim is not a race, it is the term used to name someone who is a believer in an ideology that is among other things racist et al. . .

Muslim is to Islam
as Christian is to Christianity

Is Christian a race?

It is not phobic to be fearful and against those who want to irrationally kill you. Perhaps it is a form of phobia or mental illness to to support and try appease those who want to irrationally kill you?

John Quincy Adams

In the seventh century of the Christian era, a wandering Arab of the lineage of Hagar, the Egyptian, combining the powers of transcendent genius, with the preternatural energy of a fanatic, and the fraudulent spirit of an impostor, proclaimed himself as a messenger from Heaven, and spread desolation and delusion over an extensive portion of the earth. Adopting from the sublime conception of the Mosaic law, the doctrine of one omnipotent God; he connected indissolubly with it, the audacious falsehood, that he was himself his prophet and apostle. Adopting from the new Revelation of Jesus, the faith and hope of immortal life, and of future retribution, he humbled it to the dust, by adapting all the rewards and sanctions of his religion to the gratification of the sexual passion. He poisoned the sources of human felicity at the fountain, by degrading the condition of the female sex, and the allowance of polygamy; and he declared undistinguishing and exterminating war, as a part of his religion, against all the rest of mankind. THE ESSENCE OF HIS DOCTRINE WAS VIOLENCE AND LUST: TO EXALT THE BRUTAL OVER THE SPIRITUAL PART OF HUMAN NATURE.

Between these two religions, thus contrasted in their characters, a war of twelve hundred years has already raged. That war is yet flagrant; nor can it cease but by the extinction of that imposture, which has been permitted by Providence to prolong the degeneracy of man. While the merciless and dissolute dogmas of the false prophet shall furnish motives to human action, there can never be peace upon earth, and good will towards men. The hand of Ishmael will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him. It is, indeed, amongst the mysterious dealings of God, that this delusion should have been suffered for so many ages, and during so many generations of human kind, to prevail over the doctrines of the meek and peaceful and benevolent Jesus (Blunt, 1830, 29:269, capitals in orig.).

Being a moderate or pacifist follower of Mohammed would be make that person or group a schism or abnormality within islam, that view point would be extreme in relation to what islam teaches.
