‘The Great Australian Bikini March’<\/a> meme has legs, and it knows how to use them.<\/p>\n

Even when cancelled.<\/p>\n

In the upside-down world of (US) right-wing blogging, even Michelle Malkin<\/a><\/em> has got in on the act. Knowing nothing about Australia (“are not all Australians good American material?”<\/a>), and caring less, Malkin fails to mention the fact that the March was scheduled to take place on the first anniversary of the Cronulla riots<\/a>. A small but, like, crucial detail.<\/p>\n

Ain’t (pretended) ignorance grand?<\/p>\n

Bikini march sparks retort<\/a>

MUSLIMS, socialists, unions and other groups will conduct a counter-rally against bikini protesters who plan [?] to march on a Brunswick mosque on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Police will monitor the demonstrations, with white supremacists claiming to have infiltrated bikini protest ranks, increasing the potential for confrontation.<\/p>\n

Organisers of the “Great Australian Bikini March” had planned to march against the Michael St mosque last [sic<\/em>] Saturday, anniversary of the Cronulla riots in NSW.<\/p>\n

Though the bikini march has been postponed until Australia Day next year, some supporters say they will still hold the rally on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The march has been promoted on white supremacist websites.<\/p>\n

In response, the Islamic Information and Support Centre<\/strong> and the Socialist Party<\/strong> Australia are organising a barbecue and mosque open day for Saturday at the same time<\/a> [1pm].<\/p>\n

The so-called bikini march, criticised as being insensitive, was designed as a reaction to mufti Sheik Taj el-Din el-Hilaly’s comments on scantily clad women being the cause of some rapes.<\/p>\n

Sheik Mohammed Omran, who heads the Brunswick mosque, later defended the mufti.<\/p>\n

A mosque spokesman said the theme of their meeting and sausage sizzle was uniting Australia.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
