SYDNEY erupted in a second night of racial violence last night as Middle Eastern mobs stabbed a woman, assaulted others and smashed shops around Cronulla, while up to 600 young men - armed with guns and crowbars - prepared for a battle.
In a terrifying escalation of the conflict, up to 70 cars from Hurstville invaded Cronulla and Brighton-le-Sands to launch revenge attacks, following the vicious attacks by Cronulla locals on people of Middle Eastern appearance on Sunday.
Twenty carloads of men arrived at Cronulla by about 10.30pm, smashing shops, and cars in Elouera Road, and threatening people who got in their way. They reportedly stabbed a woman at Carringbah, but her condition was unknown.
About 11.30pm a group of about 100 Cronulla locals surrounded a car carrying men of Middle Eastern appearance, but police cleared the crowd and let the car escape.
Hours earlier, about 200 men had assembled outside Lakemba Mosque - some armed with Glock pistols - and dozens more gathered at Campsie. They were preparing to travel to Maroubra Beach, where up to 300 locals, many armed with crowbars, waited for an arranged fight, according to "Bra Boys" at the beach.
But some young Muslims said they had gathered to protect the mosque because of a threatened attack on it by a gang from the southern beaches.
Following Sunday's riot at Cronulla beach - when local mobs had bashed people of Middle Eastern appearance - police confiscated iron bars and other weapons at Maroubra last night and blocked roads around the mosque. About 20 police cars surrounded the mosque, where four men showed their pistols and ammunition to a news crew, and boasted that others were carrying arms.
At 10.45pm, on the Kingsway at Caringbah, about 12 cars sped by, followed by another vehicle that stopped. Four men got out and began attacking patrons of Antonio's Pizzeria. They knocked a woman unconscious on the footpath and smashed the window of a denture clinic.
Thai-born Suchada Goodier, 44, owner of a Thai restaurant on the Kingsway, said she was walking on the street when she was attacked. The group then started bashing her car. "What have I done?" she said.
"I have done nothing."
In Bay Street, Brighton-le-Sands, a young woman was sitting in a car when men approached and opened the door to her vehicle and put a hand up her dress, saying: "We are going to rape you, you Aussie sluts."

Let the games begin.
It's going to be a long hot summer down under.
Kick them out.
They forgot the tire irons.
Looks like the aussies have a little more manhood than the french. At least the locals are fighting back.
Anyone know what set this off?
When gus are outlawed only outlaws have guns :-)
Things could get real “interesting” down under.
but what do you think the "law abiding citizens" who actually turned in their firearms are thinking right now?
This has been building for ten years in Oz. Lots of reasons. Check out Michelle Malkin's blog today and some of the links, especially the one from the retired Aussie police officer.
Have it out now or later in real bloodshed.
France part deux, but I think the Aussies won't be as wimpy the french.
The gun grab, predictably, worked only on (and against) normal Australians.
How long will it be before Arabs here in the US start rioting? I suspect the response would be as limp wristed as the response to the Seattle WTO riots back in 1999. Our politically correct leaders wouldn't want to offend the peace loving Muslims by preventing them from engaging in civil insurrection. No, we should confiscate the guns of loyal Americans so they cant shoot one of our peace loving fifth columnists accidentally.
We have a time bomb ticking in this country. We dont have the political will to do anything about it. It really is time to start thinking about deporting all illegals, and/or interning those we suspect of helping the enemy.
