Great Australian Bikini March Flops
The organizers have been forced to cancel the anti-Islamist march because of “irresponsible journalism.” While the march was intended as a fun way for ordinary Australian gals to protest Islamism, to demonstrate—the very best way, via their bikinis—that they do not intend to submit to Islamic Sharia law, and to condemn the Australian cleric’s remarks about raped women being analogous to a piece of meat on the street that, of course, a cat will come and eat, it has now been shut down completely. The reason? Australian media were evidently successful in planting the impression that the protest was racist. The organizers had threats made against their families, and decided to shut it all down before any materialized.
I think the next step is clear: Spread this news far and wide in America, and have a Great American Bikini March in Washington, DC.
