Rise Up Australia

Am I missing something here? The Rise Up Australia people (or as I like to call them, Ignorant Christian Boguns Strike Back) held rallies around the country yesterday, saying they oppose sharia law, halal tax and Islamisation (whatever that means?).

In which part of Australia is sharia law being proposed? Not one place in Australia.

I'm sure there has always been Halal certified food. Do these people think it is new, or something?


What is exactly does Islamisation mean? How does one recognise it? Does that relate to muslims still only making up 2.5% of the population?

Is that what these scared, mean people are trying to reclaim, effectively 2.5% of society. They are holding rallies around the country because of 2.5% of society. Conclusion, they are making a mountain out of nothing for their own benefit.

I reckon that if the Rise Up Australia/Reclaim Australia people don't like the most successful multicultural society in the world, namely Australia, why don't they leave and find another country to live in that is more to their liking. You know, love it or leave it (with the Southern Cross tattood across your poonani)

Judging by all reports just lately, why don't they give Russia a try. I'm thinking the current ideology might be more to their liking.

I suspect "these people" are the types who have enough intelligence to switch a computer on, but not enough inteligence to interpret what they read there.

Actually, I'm cheating, I read their Facebook page. There were a number who claimed Pauline Hanson was their hero, but continually misspelt her name.


Is it racism? I am not really sure what they are scared of? Is it selfishness? You know, not wanting to share? Is it those people who haven't really made the most of their lives who want to deny anyone else making the most of their lives, because most refugees/immigrants are hard workers and will most likely make more of their lives than the Rise Up Australia devotees probably ever will?

Every time I start to think there might be some hope working towards Australia being a more tolerant and progressive society, something like this happens. Sigh.
