The Thoughts of a Muslim Australian About Pauline Hanson

“The True Blue Crew and Reclaim Australia group constantly point fingers at average peace-loving Australian Muslims, claiming that we are ISIS supporters and that we have the same mentality as jihadists. I wonder whether they know how hard it is for some to deal with being placed in the same category as the people who kill their families overseas on a daily basis.”

Yosra Al Awadi, Events Coordinator and writer for UWA’s Muslim Students’ Association, writes a response to Pauline Hanson and her supporters following Saturday’s United Against Bigotry and Racism rally in Perth’s CBD.
