I normally avoid A Current Affair like the plague but I sometimes tune in for a jenkem-like snort of tabloid methane. Tonight’s ludicrous beat-up was on those Moooslims, those ones who come to Australia in, like, their thousands and don’t, y’know, integrate with normal people? The rationale for this ’story’ was a town meeting in the Sydney suburb of Camden - but it was a fairly thin premise, and the ‘town meeting’ ended up looking more like the carpark at a rodeo than rational democracy-in-action.

ACA then went straight to an objective source on the issue of Moooslims: Fred Nile of the Christian Democratic Party. The justification for this was that the CDP is now the voice-of-the-people because its vote has “skyrocketed” in NSW (which it has, they now register almost half the vote of the Greens). Fred claims we’re at risk of being swamped by Moooslims and besides, there are Christians being persecuted in Moooslim countries who deserve to come here first! He wants a ten-year moratorium on new Moooslims coming into the country.

Amongst the other damning evidence:

* Twenty years ago there were 30,000 Moooslims in Australia; now there are 300,000. They must be breeding like rabbits.
* Sydney now has 40-something mosques. Melbourne has, erm, a lot too. And if you look at these mosques on Google Maps, it looks even worse.
* The Moooslims want to build a Moooslim school in Camden. Absolutely appalling.
* Vox Pop Man says Moooslims aren’t like ‘us’ because they “…don’t come up, shake ya hand and say ‘g’day’, mate.” (If you could see Vox Pop Man, you’d probably understand why.)
* And Keyser Trad has… nine children!

My guess is that Nine will be screening a few anti-terror ads tonight.
