???? How am I 'shilling' for Islam? I have not supported the religion. In fact, you do not know my personal opinion and we're going to keep it that way.

You're shilling for the right for people to not be offended, or for their "beliefs" to be free from criticism. You feel that they should have a right to react in such a way that this lady needs to be "warned in advance" by the policeman of "what may happen to her."
Disrespecting religion is a time honored tradition in the western world. Something that sets us apart from the rest of the world. It's the foundation of the liberal tradition, pioneered hundreds of years ago as part of the enlightenment.
I don't care about your "personal opinion" on Islam, because your opinion on the religion is as useful to me as knowing who your favorite Greek gods are. Or your favorite Harry Potter character. Personal opinions on works of fiction.
But I note too many are quick to rush to the defense of the adherents of certain idiotic religions. And for what? To protect the feelings and integrity of some garbage ass belief system that hasn't contributed anything to humanity besides religious wars and terrorists in the past 500 years or so?
Hogwash. I have friends in Sidney, both health care workers,and they have never had any sort of problems there regardless of where they have gone in the city. Of course, they are not semi-educated racist alt-right bozos like this twit heading there to be outraged by diversity and offended because someone grew up with a different belief system from theirs.
My advice to this Coulter wannabe is to find a nice, safe white place in Canada somewhere and stay there. I would suggest somewhere near the Arctic Circle where even the bears are white, and steer clear of the Inuit villages where Socialism is practiced as the best method for survival. The last thing the world needs is more of her type wandering around the globe trying to stir up trouble where none exists.
And you would be lying. Last time I went there, back in 2012, there were huge riots at Hyde park every other weekend with radical Islam attacking the native Australians and trying to smash down embassies. If you don't believe me, look up on youtube for Sydney riots in Hyde park.
Why is some American interloper walking around an Australian City blathering on about this foolishness? Australia can handle its own issues. This is exactly why Americans are seen as a bunch of loudmouthed idiots who are always sticking their noses in everyone else’s business.
And since I’m POSITIVE that she’s one of those conservative cop worshippers (as long as they’re cracking some American over the head that she doesn’t like), why be so indignant with police in a foreign country?
No go zones? Lol...really now? Her own country has plenty of no go zones that she could cover, but then, she wouldn’t get to visit sunny Australia then, would she? They need to put Ann Coulter Junior on an airplane and send her silly ass home.
She's Canadian, but don't let that get in the way of the typical leftist "blame American first for everything" mindset.

You're missing the point, in America you'd be allowed to.

GTFOH with that nonsense.
For someone that doesn't care for my personal opinion, you sure do attribute quite a bit to how I think. Not sure how you got all that based on what little I have written. LOL

Apparently not. Looks like they've allowed a big, festering problem to develop in their largest city.
I've moved back to Australia after 30 years in the US. I can tell you without reservation that the only big festering problem here is the infiltration of the same RWNJ nonsense courtesy of Pauline Hanson and Fox News, egged on by Trump's victory and the vile anti immigration, anti refugee sentiment that the right wing is espousing world wide.
Australia has its issues, every free Western society does - but blaming everything on immigrants is a time honoured cop out that I've heard regarding every immigrant group since I was a kid (it's the Greeks fault, the Italians, the Vietnamese etc) - usually from your typical undereducated whining underachiever blame everyone elser.
Meanwhile, almost half of Australians have at least one foreign born parent - including my own child whose dad is American. Given what a wonderful place to live this is it stands to reason immigrants are not a problem.
It's hysterical to me to see Americans in this forum crow about festering problems in Australia. Honey, compared to your own issues, Australia has absolutely nothing to worry about. Nothing at all.
