See Burqa-Clad Australian Men Clash With a Muslim Man While Protesting Islamic Garb

It isn’t often that one has the opportunity to see men donning burqas, yet here I am for the second time in one week writing about men cross-dressing in Islamic garb. While the first story was about Taliban members attempting to use women’s clothing to infiltrate the U.S. military in Afghanistan, the newest report is about Australian protesters — both men and women – who decked themselves out in full burqa coverings in an effort to get the outfit banned.

Burqa Clad Australian Men Seeking a Ban on the Islamic Garb Clash With a Muslim

The protest, which took place in Sydney, Australia, featured members of a group called Faceless. The individuals behind the veils went to a courthouse, a pub and a bank in an effort to see how people would react to their full coverings. According to Nine News, they didn’t receive much of a response. However, when they showed up outside of parliament, a Muslim man who was less than content with their tactics became vocal, boisterous and — borderline violent.

Perhaps the burqa-wearing protesters’ efforts were best described by Nicholas Folkes, a member of the group. He made it clear that the burqa should be banned in Australia just as it has been in France (although the group dubbed their effort more rooted in “research” than “protest”).

“It’s got no place in Australia — it’s a front to a civilized country like Australia,” the Faceless member alleged.

These comments, teamed with the Faceless protesters’ actions, led to shouting and angst. The Muslim man became so outraged by Folkes and his compatriots that he allegedly pulled at the veils on their faces; at one point it looked as though he was pushing one of the protesters. The man also allegedly spit on the ground, then said, ”That’s what I think of you,” according to Nine News.

Of course, it didn’t help that someone connected to Faceless purportedly called the Islamic Prophet Mohammed “a rat.”

      A little known fact about this Arab originating group is that this so called religion was started by the Catholics to get the Holy Land, for themselves, from the Jewish people. A nun was sent to pick an Arab that she could teach and encourage, and was the one they now call their profit.

      Do the research for yourself.
      I was appalled when I found this out from a former priest, and recovering catholic, but not shocked.

    “It’s got no place in Australia — it’s a front to a civilized country like Australia,” the Faceless member alleged. It’s not “a front”, but “an affront”. Indeed, it is. I find it offensive, as it makes women seem like second class citizens. Maybe two-thousand years ago that was true. I find muslim treatment of women one of the most appaling aspects of modern society. To see naked oppression without widespread outrage is unfathomable.

      Get a muslim to tell you honestly. To them, there is the house of death and the house of life. To true muslims, they are in the house of life. All others are in the house of death. For those of you who are mentally challenged, those in the house of death can receive a range of bad treatment from all muslims, up to and including death.

      A muslim is under no moral obligation to tell you the truth. Lies may be employed as a tactic to gain advantage. Contracts with non-muslims are not binding. The wives and daughters of non-muslims are fair game for anything a muslim wants from them.

      Children are fair game for men to take out their sexual gratifications on without limitation. Women are to obey and serve. Children who stray from the dictates of islam are no longer residents of the house of life and may be killed since they have entered the house of death.

      You clowns out there, I pray you “encounter” those in islam for whom you advocate. You must feel their “love” full force. Fools. Then you will know, and so those of you who make it back can be witnesses to the real islam, not your fairytale islam. Fools.

      @American,

      You misinterpret the religion. I am no Muslim. I am no Christian. I am no Jew. Look at the history of the religion, they’ve had some dark areas, just like any other religion. And for all of you “Christians” who are going to attack me, look at the Crusades. But just look at the Golden Age of the Muslim world. Please research that time because the Muslims worked with Jews and Christians on various projects, including architecture, and education at universities.

      Now, don’t get me wrong, there have been Caliphs (leaders) who expelled Christians and Jews. There have been Caliphs who treated people of other faiths unfairly. But as I stated above, so has every other religion. Not to mention, how you are describing Muslims on this site isn’t fair either.

      Islam simply means to surrender to God. There are some within the Muslims community who want you to obey the way Muslims do, but there are A LOT who believe that if you surrender to God, you are following Islam. If you follow Allah (God), you are united.

      You bring up that in the Quran, they can treat the wives horribly, and that’s not right. I would agree with you. But doesn’t the Bible say something about stoning women who commit adultery? I may be wrong on this, so please do correct me if that is the case.

      BTW, if anyone disses Christianity (which I am guessing most people on here follow), it is Judaism. They reject Jesus, do they not?

      The New Testament set things straight. No murder, no adultery, no stealing, no false witness, etc. I.,e,
      God’s Commandments were incorporated into the new era with Christ. But many of the old ways were gone. Islam, murder is ok (you may kill infidels), adultery is ok (may rape your enemies’ wives, daughters), stealing is ok (so long as is from an infidel). False witness is ok (so long as you work to undermine the infidel).

      These are mandates ENSHRINED in islamic law. Christ is against all this. You can rationalize all you want. Go to Europe. See islam gobbling it up. I was in Baden Baden with my family. 11 year old daughter and wife in the baths. Up above, on a balcony, islamic men, with telephoto lenses, taking photos, clearly targeting the young white girls. Go to Munich. islamic men, aggressively pursuing the white girls. Rapes are at level never seen before in Germany. At the hands of islamic invaders.

      Again, I say you are a fool. You are a fool who clearly has a functioning brain. Brains are not your issue. Your downfall is no courage. You would allow an enemy in your midst. An enemy with an aim to put a knife to your family’s throat. What will it take for you to see? Your mother, father, brother, sister, wife, child a victim of their evil?

We want a law to force people to do what they don’t want to because we think they should. Then we want the same law to protect us from doing what we don’t want to do. If the gov‘t mandates what people can and can’t wear then what is to stop them from making everyone dress in rainbow colored slacks?

      A fool who’d let Jeffrey Dahmer babysit your own kids. You know, sometimes you just have to see danger. Fool.

      Islam is incompatible with our society. Fool. They’d party with you, knowing you are a future slave. Allthewhile, they’d scheme to kill real Americans. And you’d laugh. Fool. Til it was your turn. Then the fool would laugh no more. Fool.

      You think you know this country. You think you know our heritage. You know nothing. Fool.
