Aussie ladies are taking to the streets in their two-piece swimwear to protest those thug mullahs who attacked unveiled women as “uncovered meat.” (Hat tip – Ace)

A.M. Mora y Leon at Publius Pundit notes:

Somehow, you can’t get more Australian than that. They’re patriots. Aussies live for the beach, party like sailors, and some of them probably don’t ever wear anything else except bikinis.

Mullahs, of course, are not pleased, so they’re coupling up with their natural allies, the hardcore socialists, for a countermarch. Vive l’democracy.

But I look on these bikini marchers as kind of lighthearted and fun, spreading the message of democracy, and that’s what these bikini-clad Aussies say it is. Surely the mullahs, if they live in Australia, are not unaware of the local Australian practice of wearing bikinis, and if they are not, they can listen to John Howard, who has warned immigrants from intolerant cultures that it’s up to them to adapt to Australian ways, not the other way around.

The Sydney Morning Herald reports that the bikini march organizer is Melbourne grandmother Christine Hawkins. Here’s a bit of an interview with Hawkins from ABC radio in Australia:

CHRISTINE HAWKINS: We’re encouraging people to wear beachwear. The reason for that… we’ve called it the ‘The Great Australian Bikini March’ because it’s got an interesting, iconic image for Australians that most Australians, you know, even from their childhoods remember summer holidays with great fondness, of going down to the beach, sitting in the sun, warm, swimming, lots of nice memories.

And that we’re actually identified all the world for our beach culture, so it’s a statement about maintaining our way of life through using the icon of beach culture.

And there’s a bikini because of the comments made about “uncovered meat”. So, basically what we’re saying is look, we’re not changing, we’re Aussies. We’re not going to be covering up to avoid rape.

SABRA LANE: It’s a very provocative protest.

CHRISTINE HAWKINS: It’s an honest protest. We’ve been… I don’t know… one of the things that people haven’t heard of… look, the uncovered meat statement is bad enough, but some of the other stuff he’s said is absolutely outrageous.

SABRA LANE: The march will start at a park, and end at the Islamic Information and Support Centre in Brunswick in Melbourne.

Ms Hawkins says she doesn’t know how many people will turn up to the event.

CHRISTINE HAWKINS: We’re actually going to be calling on the Government to bring in new citizenship legislation, so that extremists can be weeded out either coming into the country, or if they’re here, get rid of them.

We don’t need this in our country, we’ve got a beautiful country, people come from all over the world to settle in Australia because they want freedom.

Via Tammy Bruce, there is an “Uncovered Meat” clothing line. No bikinis, but the fitted infidel t-shirts are cute–and made in the USA!

Elsewhere in Australia:

TWO Muslim students have been expelled from an Islamic school in Melbourne for urinating and spitting on a Bible and setting it on fire.

The explosive incident has forced the East Preston Islamic College to call in a senior imam to tell its 650 Muslim students that the Bible and Christianity must be respected.

Anxious teachers at the school have also petitioned principal Shaheem Doutie, expressing “grave concern” about an “inculcation of hatred and radical attitudes towards non-Muslims” at the school, including towards non-Muslim teachers.

The Bible desecration took place last week at a school camp held near Bacchus Marsh, about 50km west of Melbourne, attended by 33 teenage Muslim boys ranging in age from Year7 to Year 10.

A school report of the incident, obtained by The Australian, says it happened late at night and involved three students and another two watching.

“The main perpetrator (a Year 7 student) urinated on the Holy Bible, tore some pages from the Holy Book and burnt them then finally spat on the Holy Book,” the report says.

The second boy, from Year 9, “tore pages from the Holy Book and burnt them”, while a third student, from Year 7, “tore pages from the Holy Bible and then he rolled it up like a cigarette and pretended to smoke it”.

The boys come from a variety of ethnic Muslim backgrounds — one is believed to be an Albanian/Malaysian, another Lebanese and another Indonesian.

Ain’t diversity grand?
