Lakemba Protesters Take Aim At "Arrogant West"

[icyfroth]

Anti-Charlie Hebdo protesters in Lakemba take aim at free speech, arrogant West at Hizb ut-Tahrir rally 

Hundreds of people have gathered in western Sydney to protest against French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, which published an image of the Islamic prophet Mohammed after jihadists murdered 12 staff members.

Police said about 800 people attended the rally, organised by controversial Islamic group Hizb ut-Tahrir outside the Lakemba railway station at sunset.

"They force their world view onto us: 'We are the arrogant West and you Muslims have to accept our world view, you have to accept our freedoms ... to insult your prophet'," he told the crowd.

 He dismissed the defence of freedom of speech.

 "We rejected freedom yesterday, we rejected freedom today and we reject your freedom tomorrow," he said.

Yeah well guess what, mate. You're living in the West.

Many of you risked life and limb to get  to get here.

Many of you live here at the expense of the Australian taxpayer.

By all means revere your "beloved Prophet", follow your beliefs. All we ask is that you show respect for the West and it's laws.

It's a cross between departure lounge and deodorising this country.

Or, take your hatred with you when you leave to greener pastures.

Yeah. I don't get this kind of post. It happened. Reporting it isn't sensationalising it. Unless, of course, you agree with the "protestors".
