The 1stwas a (poor) attempt at humor, Maybe read some of BB's post the Muslims can do no wrong and the Israeli's can do no right,
The 2nd,where the hell did i say being an Aussie was a religion? where did i imply it ?
i was using the carbon tax rally's as an example of the numbers of people who attend something like a rally or a meeting ,does not give a true indication of how many really support/not support something,
But yet if it was a 1000 Israeli's you'd call it an illegal occupation

Just wondering without any dramatics, why over the last weekend in Sydney an Australian raised guy of overseas ethnicity drew a crowd of approx 1000 in Sydney ...whislt he promoted an Islamic revolution in the world and denounced the western democratic governments of the world.
He believes according to a radio interview on "The John Laws Show" that any Muslim who leaves his faith should be executed, and that the world should be under total Islamic rule.
As for the topic,this guy is a nut job,but i do not really think many Australian muslims would agree with him,didn't most come here to get away from this type of thing?
Why can he do it is your question? Because in the Australian Constitution we all have freedom of religion.
didn't most come here to get away from this type of thing?
And I see that muslim apologists are in full force today. I guess we who do not agree with killing apostates are all racist intolerant bigots.

My point which was obviously poorly worded and presented,was big numbers attend,small numbers attend to support/protest whatever ,does not give a true indication of actual numbers that support/protest whatever
No the first is a constitutional right, the other is breach of statute law. Two separate legal principles.

A lousy 1000 people turned up..
Doesn't that tell you something??
They are a small minority and most other muslims do not share their view..
But we do have some degree of freedom of speech so must tolerate other views..
