AUSTRALIA: Angry protesters warn of beheadings at anti-mosque rally

Police had to keep anti-mosque protesters and supporters apart at an emotion-charged rally on the Sunshine Coast today. More than 500 people – about 80% of them ‘against’ the Islamic mosque, converged on land near the Stella Maris Catholic Church to protest the mosque plan.

Sunshine Coast Daily (h/t Kenneth N) Streets around the protest were blocked off by police while plain clothes and uniform police had to repeatedly warn anti-mosque protesters to tone their comments and anger down. An equally vocal contingent of young people defended the right of Islamic people to set up their own church, saying Australia was a democratic country.
But protesters accused the youth of being ‘bussed in’ from the Gold Coast with some even resorting to insults over their university fees. The situation became repeatedly heated as supporters of the mosque tried to convince opponents that most Islamic people were peace loving and represented no threat to Australia’s way of life. Supporters of the mosque sang iconic Australian tunes, prompting outrage from the anti-mosque crowd.
