1. Terrible...Australian Defence League Posts Anti-Muslim Message On Facebook During Sydney Siege

The Australian Defence League was accused of anti-Islamic prejudices during the Sydney siege on Monday. It published a message on Facebook that created the controversy.


The ADL message on Facebook asked who was ready to converge on Lakemba as retaliation. "If 1 person is harmed we are calling on all Australians to converge on Lakemba tonight," the post said. Australia has its one of the largest mosques in the Lakemba suburb. The region has a predominantly Muslim population. The place often represents the Arab population in the country to media. While Channel 10 labelled the message as racist, the ADL reacted to Channel 10's decision to term the message racist. Newsweek reported that ADL asked Channel 10 to go to an Islamic country. It also asked the news network to "get an Islamist to spew your left wing bigotry."
