She doesnt like anything but herself
The hate bots have got in the comment section early, what a disgrace social media platforms have become. I hope all the young Muslims can have happy childhoods and grow into prosperous adults despite the horrific racism they face. Best of luck to you all ❤️
Again the same rhetoric that everyone in this country is racist and Islamophobic. Last I checked in Victoria where I live we have entire suburbs of muslims, Indians, Somalians, Ethiopians, Cambodian, Vietnamese, Buddhists etc this notion that “Pauline Hanson said this” is getting old and doesn’t represent majority of Australia for god sake. Getting sick of being told the same thing, live your life and stop listening to crazy people last I checked when I went shopping at any of the major shopping centres there was tons of Muslim women and teens walking around care free shopping living a good life stop pushing this hateful agenda to divide people.

Pauline not liking Muslims isnt exactly a headline, xenophobia is the forefront of her shtick. I feel sorry that anyone, from whatever walk of life, takes anything she says seriously.
If anyone ever asks “is Australia a racist country”, I show them the comments here and under many other posts about bigotry in Australian society.
There was a truly nasty one that got removed, but we’ve still got some textbook racist rhetorics of downplaying, denying and othering here.
The good news is that Pauline is mainly cannibalising the Coalition vote so far. The next federal election could get ugly though.
I don’t like Pauline, but extremism is and can become a massive problem. Hate seems more common across religion itself
I wonder what is going to happen to politics when people realise the Us and Israel have literally created terrorists to fight forever wars and feeds the military industrial complex.
Joe Kent head of counterterrorism resigned and said in an interview that America even funded Isis to fight as a proxy for them.
Netenyahu filmed in an interrogation explaining how he pays Hamas 35 million a month so that Palestinians can’t form a proper government.
It’s literally all bullshit. Your enemies are wearing suits and speaking to cameras
Islam can be very intolerant of other religions too. That’s just the way religions work.
Pauline doesn’t like many of us. Being disliked by her leaves you in the majority.
Does Pauline like anyone other than billionaires and adulterous old men?

Every nation but ours is on high alert. Terrible situation. People fear reprisals.
Why is the left in love with this religion?
Part of me hopes that this technique that politicians use: where they pick a minority group and convince people that they are super scary so that we all focus on that and not their billionaire mates who are handing them piles of cash under that table – will eventually stop working.
Sadly, it seems like it’s still working so far.
I don’t know why anyone participates in these threads with their post history hidden and expect to be taken seriously.
The problem here is “Religion”. Every religion seems to dislike every other religion. Religion is the biggest scam, where people who cannot make up their own minds follow these cults.
Jesus christ every single day its Jew this Muslim that, i and every person i know dont give a single fuck about either, yet the media would love for all Ausiies to think so.
Try living as an openly Buddhist, Atheist, Christian, Jew, Mormon or any non-muslim in an Islamic country, and you’ll know what true fear feels like.
We could really use Wealthophobia right now. They’re the ones who’re behind all of the events today, keeping us distracted on useless racism and culture/identity war slop nonsense.
Any religion that oppresses and marginalises women has no place in this country.
Not even being sarcastic. They should reach out to the gay and Jewish communities. Do some events together.
Fear and hate cannot be destroyed with force but only with human connection. All 3 communities are feeling it at the moment. Especially in Sydney.
A festival or a joint event would be a welcome relief from the violence against these groups.
Think her whole identity is “I don’t like stuff”
I mean shooting a bunch of people does tend to do that
How does every post on reddit end up with the focus on billionaires?
Yet people like Drew Pavlou and off Pauline Hanson will just say it is “justified” or deny/downplay it
Yeah maybe sort out your community then. Shooting people tends to get people’s back up.
