It's always pandering to the Muslims, always virtue signalling. A premier of a secular state turning the sod for a mosque? 'Vote for us, Muslims!!!" Prostitutes. Like you, Bwian. Really? I don't believe I've ever been paid for sex, Soren. You really do have an odd view of life, don't you? The majority of Bendigoites favour the Mosque there. Get used to it. Bullshit. And your proof otherwise is, what, exactly, Xeej? You made the statement so back it up. Quote:Not all the local residents are against the building of a mosque. About 200 anti-racism protesters also attended under the banner of the Rally For Diversity, and a group called Believe in Bendigo previously gathered a crowd of over 2000 to show support for the mosque and the Muslim community.
“Believe In Bendigo is basically a group that believes in community,” said Jayson Tayeh. “There is enough faith in our community; people that believe in inclusiveness, people that believe in diversity.”
“It's heartening to see over 2000 people turn up to show their support for inclusion and tolerance,” said Mr Syed. “Why can't we live together with respect, peace and harmony?”
Mr Cox believes the community and the country can be strengthened from diversity and unity.
"It's not as if Muslims have arrived just yesterday, they have been here for over a hundred years,” said Mr Cox. “They're Australians, we're Australians, we all share those values.” [ Source] If you look at any of the protests against the Mosque, the overwhelming number of protestors came from outside Bendigo. Only a small number of protestors were from Bendigo itself. Therefore is IMO safe to conclude that the majority of Bendigoites are either indifferent or support the Mosque's establishment. QED. Thats only your opinion and i still call BS. There was not even a poll to test public support, funny that. "The Greater Bendigo council has tonight approved a planning application to build a Mosque in Rowena Street, East Bendigo. "There are many conditions on the permit to make sure the impact on neighbours is acceptable. "The city received more than 350 objections to the development and more than 40 submissions of support.Despite this they continued. There were two types at all these protests, there were those with concerns about this Mosque and what it stands for and there were those that were just there to shout out fascist bigot racist islamophobe, the Anti Australians. There were plenty of vocal locals turning out at every protest against this Mosque, they will probably be beheaded later. A tiny minority of Islamophobes. There are approximately 110,000 residents in Bendigo. Only, as you note 350 plus a further 40 chose to object to the establishment of the Mosque. Hardly worth bothering about really. There have been Muslims in Bendigo for ~150 years. Don't you think it is time they had a chance to have a proper Mosque at which to pray? What ever happened to the idea of a fair go for everybody, mate?
