| Sydney locals warn of violence if Islamic School site is approved |
| 2007-12-20 |
| Police had to move in to calm hundreds of people last night outside a meeting of nearly 900 opposed to a proposal for one of Australia's biggest Islamic schools in south-west Sydney. Some locals are threatening to take matters into their own hands if the 1,200-student school in Camden is approved by either the council or via appeal to the Land and Environment Court. A group calling themselves the Public Affairs Education Committee organised last night's meeting and had to shut the doors when the Camden Civic Centre reached full capacity. |

| #2 But Qu'ranic Society spokesman Jeremy Bingham says objections to the Islamic school are clearly racially motivated because Catholic and Anglican schools have been built in Camden with community consent. So what race is Islam again? One protester last night said she was opposed to the proposal because there was no Islamic community in Camden. Yet - approve this 'school' and they will come - See Paris, France. |

| #1 Follow the money, folks. Why doesn't this article make any mention of who is going to pay for this school? If the school is being financed by the Soddies then simply tell them they can build schools and mosques in Christian countries when Christians are allowed to send missionaries to Soddy Arabia and to build churches and schools there. Then ask them why we should tolerate muslims in Christian countries when they don't tolerate Christians in muslim countries. |
