The question of whether or not Australia should ban the burqa has once again come to the media forefront, and despite living in a peaceful society in which freedom of culture and religion have been the norm for decades, frightened and aggressive Australian racists have allowed their Islamophobic opinions to overcome any hint of rationality that might have otherwise been.

A recent story in the news was the decision of a Melbourne swimming pool to accommodate a dress code requested by a small group of Muslim swimming enthusiasts.

Note: The restriction would apply only in August of next year, for two hours in the evening, for one night. While you’re reading some of the intolerant, outraged rants of concerned Australians, just keep in mind that this applied dress code was imposed after regular pool opening hours, at night, in Winter. I’ve never seen Australians using public pools on cold Winter nights, have you?

Secondly, the dress code wasn’t mandatory burqas, like a lot of these bogans are complaining about. It was T-shirts and board shorts. It was a request that shoulders and knees were covered, and that’s all.

The following is a publicly posted email sent to the swimming pool in question. Make sure you read to the bottom of this bogan twat’s email where she threatens a ‘huge demonstration’ from outraged Australians.

Australians have already mistakenly assumed that their swimming pools were being taken from them by ‘Islamist mayors’ – be aware that this isn’t the first explosion of mass delusion. Serial right-wing radio pest Alan Jones hyped the hopelessly critically inept bogans up with a story about a swimming pool in Auburn that was apparently closing its doors to non-Muslims. Just like the story above regarding the Dandenong Oasis Swimming Pool in Melbourne, the dress code sessions were open to anyone as long as they followed the slightly altered dress code (t-shirts and board shorts), and the sessions ran once a week, for one month, in the middle of Winter.

Read about it here:

So, this is now the second time that racist Australians have got their bikinis and budgie smugglers in a knot over a small group of Muslims wanting a swimming pool dress code applied for a few nights in Winter. Neither of the pools closed their doors to non-Muslims.

And whenever some sensationalist anti-Muslim hoax comes to light, dead shit Australians come out of the woodwork to speak of their vile hatred for Muslims, thinking that their choice of words is completely acceptable under the guise of some kind of patriotic freedom of speech and a desire to ‘protect’ our country from these terrorists.

(Did this arse hat just identify an alleged Muslim goal of making Australia a Muslim country in the next 10 years? Wonder where he got that gem from… Considering Muslims have been in Australia for over a hundred years, and that the current percentage of Australian citizens practicing the religion of Islam is around 1.3%…)

Sorry Kelvin, which laws are Muslims not abiding by in our country? And are you implying that all Australian citizens abide by the law…?

Anybody else smell a bullshit, made-up story? There’s nothing worse than a bogan who makes up stories to support ill-conceived reasons as to why her overt racism is justified.

It really is a sad state of affairs. Muslims are copping a raw deal, especially when fundamentalist crackpot Islamic leaders are the only ones mainstream media ever wants to pay any attention to. Among the atrocities Australians are willing to associate Muslims to include:

* Muslims are terrorists;

* Muslims are pedophiles;

* Muslims want Shari’a Law to rule Australia;

* Muslims are taking over the population;

* Asylum seekers are all Muslims;

* Muslims want to cancel Christmas;

* Muslims want to rape women who walk around in bikinis;

* Muslim husbands all beat their wives;

* Muslims want to close swimming pools;

* Muslims refuse to participate in Australian society.

All complete bullshit.
