| CDP behind rally opposing Muslim school in rural Australia |
| 2007-12-21 |
| The Christian Democratic Party is behind a mysterious group called the Committee for Public Affairs Education that organised a large meeting this week to protest against a proposed 1200-student Muslim school in Camden. In the guise of a local residents' action group, the CDP organised the meeting, which has been accused of inflaming anti-Muslim feeling. The CDP leader, the Reverend Fred Nile, and Robert Balzola, a Christian lawyer and lobbyist, were key speakers on the night. Police had to calm about 100 people outside Camden Civic Centre who could not get into the packed hall, some of whom issued threats against people of Muslim heritage. Mr Nile told the crowd he opposed the school because Islam opposed Christianity. Mr Nile and one of the meeting organisers, Colin Broadbridge, a CDP member who lives in Campbelltown, denied that the party had staged the meeting. But the state MP Charlie Lynn, who was also invited to speak, said he had been approached two weeks ago by the CDP and asked to attend. |

| #4 Mr Nile told the crowd he opposed the school because Islam opposed Christianity Someone gets it. "This is their only school. and they are stretched to raise money to do this," Mr Bingham said. "I think Fred is a little out of date. I don't think he realises the Crusades were over a long time ago. He was talking nonsense about Muslims being anti-Christian Â… that is absurd And someone sure the hell doesn't. Morons like this will be the death of the West. Have this jerkwad Bingham go live in Saudi Arabia for awhile and then get back to us. |

| #3 No wonder this guy is disappointed in de Nile. If I spent as much time in it as he, I'd probably be disappointed, too. |

| #2 In the guise of a local residents' action group, Gee, why can't CAIR get a lead in like that? "...I don't think he realises the Crusades were over a long time ago. Yeah, and the Jihad continues He was talking nonsense about Muslims being anti-Christian Â… that is absurd. What about anti-Jewish? Jesus was Jewish, therefore.. I am very disappointed in Nile." I am a little disappointed in the land around the Nile myself. What used to be a breadbasket is buying grain from halfway around the world from infidel! farmers. Personally, I would like to see every stray cat in the area rounded up and dropped off at this proposed site, throw a bunch of pork chops out there for them to eat, you know to be humanitarian and all ;) |

| #1 I thought the headline read "CDC" (Center for Disease Control). That would be appropriate, too. My eyesight is getting worse (or is it?). |
