Myself and the g/f attended one of those mosque open days and I must say the hosts were most unfriendly. It was a most propitious event or so I thought. My g/f was wearing a pair of shorts and a bikini top. We were met at the entry by an ‘official’ who refused us entry until my g/f ‘covered up’. I told him that if we were in the M/E we would have to respect their way of dress but as the mosque was in Australia they should respect our customs and the way we dressed (on a hot day). We were quickly at an impasse; entry was ‘kindly’ refused and we insisted on observing our customs.

We didn’t take any religious bias with us. We sure as hell didn't experience the wonderful openness you seem to advocate.

 I think an experiment is in order. You and your g/f, wearing the same as attire as worn to the mosque, go to the places of worship of other faiths and see what the reactions are.

on an open day during a hot day -

yes, it would be interesting to see.

The Weld club in Perth

Only you can't 'convert' to obtain admission, you have to be born with the right credentials (a tail between your legs)

could you link us to these crimes please?

I know of one........... the driving offence one and the other was assault /robbery? but the man was not actually wearing a burqa, he had sunglasses on, so  I am thinking it was the other one?

Also the Melbourne Savage Club

THE Melbourne Savage Club asks just three things of those aspiring to join its privileged ranks — that they offer fine company, love all things bohemian and be male.
