Islamaphobia protest against construction of mosque in Australia

Anti-Islamic protesters in Australia rallied on Queensland’s

 

Anti-Islamic protesters in Australia rallied on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast to protest against a mosque which has gained development approval.

 Muslim Organization Sunshine Coast bought a two-story house in Maroochydore from Uniting Care last year and applied to convert it to a mosque. That application was approved this week.

Two anti-Islamic groups have been running a strong public campaign opposing the planned mosque.

Opponents claim the site could become a hub of radicalization and threaten the local community.

 

Unlike last year’s rally which got heated, those supporting the mosque stayed away from the gathering.
