Australians stick it to the Muslims by celebrating their national culture—beach life
Australians are again showing more spirit in the face of Muslim encroachments than any other Western people I can think of. In observation of the Cronulla riots that took place a year ago, a “bikini march” has been organized for this weekend. According to the Sidney Morning Herald, which is taking a rather censorious tone about the whole affair (Michelle Malkin is far more favorable), “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.’” The imam’s phrase is objectionable, as it expresses not just disapproval for women’s over-exposing themselves, but disgust and contempt for women. However, in defense of the women participating in this demonstration, if they are “uncovered meat,” they’re our uncovered meat.
