CONTROVERSIAL anti-Islam Dutch MP Geert Wilders has revealed that a new party defending western values will be launched in Australia.
In a Youtube message, Mr Wilders said he would visit Perth next year to help launch the
Australian Liberty Alliance, which he described as a freedom party.
“Many of you are disappointed with current political parties and have had enough of politicians who sell out western civilisation,” he said.
Mr Wilders, whose Freedom Party is popular in the Netherlands, was the subject of rowdy protests by far Left groups when he toured Australia in February last year.
His views were condemned by several political leaders and in some cases he had to find new meeting venues when worried hosts cancelled bookings.
His visit was sponsored by the Q Society, an Australian “Islam-critical” group which is organising an international seminar this weekend in Melbourne.

I think there are very few people that dont want Muslims in the country at all. I believe the issue lies in the fact that other races/religions appear to be trying to remove traditions like christmas, easter etc from schools and kinders (and even advertising now it seems) where the more sensible thing would be for traditional celebrations to remain and we can also start learning about and/or celebrating muslim/jewish/whatever traditions as well.

Muslims living in this country have enough to contend with without being held responsible for stupid things done supposedly "on their behalf" by well intentioned idiots.

For the most part it's just hype generated by hate mobs to incite racism by making people think our traditions are being stolen.
One of the most pleasant Christmas lunches I've had was shortly after the Jones induced Cronulla riots and our hosts were Muslim. They weren't celebrating Christmas from a christian perspective, just enjoying our tradition and sharing a feast.

they are able to generate that hype because it actually has happened, and all it has achieved is anger, resentment and division.
it would be great if everyone could do what you and your hosts did.

What traditions have been stolen?
When was Christmas banned, or easter?

I'm not saying its happening everywhere but it has happened.
