The violence erupted Sunday when more than 5,000 white Australians fought with police and attacked people they believed to be Arab immigrants at Cronulla beach in southern Sydney. The mob was angered over reports that youths of Lebanese descent beat two lifeguards at the beach a week earlier. That attack's motive was unclear.

According to a story I read in the National Post the lifeguards were beaten because they interfered with some apparently ME types who were harassing a woman. So, perhaps the motive as mentioned in the story was not so "unclear". Australia does have a problem of ME criminal gangs.

Australia is a long way from here in some ways, but not in others. A short while ago I saw a CNN news story in which which a mob of apparently ME types attacked some news men who were covering a terrorism story. So, how much of the deal going on in Australia is typical low level islamofascism, how much is ordinary criminal culture, and where are they intersecting?

I read that some types were flashing their Glocks outside a Sydney mosque. That I find interesting because Oz has some of the strictest handgun laws on Earth. Under those circumstances who has handguns, law abiders or criminals and terrorists?

There is a real problem of ME males who feel entitled to harass and assault Anglo-Australian women. It's been a while since I was in Australia, but I think when push comes to shove, in the end, the larger part of Australian society won't stand for it.
