Clueless, spineless Albanese chased out of a mosque by a mob of Muslims calling him a putrid dog and “Alba-tizi” (buttocks), but he says it was “incredibly positive”.  By Mostafa Rachwani at the SMH.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese was surrounded by protesters yelling “shame” and “disgrace” during Eid prayers at Lakemba Mosque on Friday morning, forcing him into a rushed escape.

Albanese was attending the prayers, held to mark the end of the month of Ramadan, alongside Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke.

One source of anger was Albanese’s support for Israel, with those in the crowds mentioning the wars in Gaza and Lebanon as key to their frustrations.

Others mentioned the police actions at the protest against Israeli President Isaac Herzog, where Muslims were forcibly removed while they were praying at Town Hall in February.

 

 

While neither the prime minister nor Burke spoke to the incensed crowd, attendees shouted down a speech being made by Gamel Kheir, the secretary of the Lebanese Muslim Association, which owns and runs the mosque.

Kheir was giving one of the speeches traditionally delivered after the prayer, with Albanese and Burke seated just ahead of him. A crowd formed a circle around the official party, shouting Kheir down and demanding to know why the prime minister was invited.

“Why is he here? Get him out of here! It’s a disgrace,” one man shouted, as the mosque event descended in chaos. …

“We have the right to be angry” another shouted as the crowd pushed and shoved to get closer to the Albanese, who was also being called a “putrid dog”. …

A stand-off then ensued, with protesters waiting outside the mosque’s office for Albanese, while organisers attempted to find a way around them.

Eventually, Albanese was able to escape via a back door, but was chased by the crowd. Some yelled “Alba-tizi” after him, a play on his name, combining it with the colloquial Arabic word for buttocks.

The protest against Mr Albanese and Mr Burke was organised by controversial activist cohort Stand4Palestine. …

Stand4Palestine is linked with fundamentalist Islamic group Hizb ut-Tahrir, though denies any formal connection. Hizb ut-Tahrir was listed as a prohibited hate group on March 5 under new legislation passed after the Bondi attack.

Anthony Albanese says the response to his visit to a mosque in Sydney’s south-west was “incredibly positive.” …

The Prime Minister said the crowd of 30,000 people who gathered at Lakemba mosque were respectful during his visit and thanked the Lebanese Muslim Association for their invitation.

What a clueless, spineless weakling our leader is! He is literally chased out by a mob of Muslims calling him a putrid dog and “Alba-tizi” (buttocks), and he says it was “incredibly positive”.

Sure, most of the Muslims were well behaved, but the radical Islamists got away with very bad behavior and Albanese was successfully intimidated and made to look like a fool — a beta male, as they say. The radical Islamists are the strong horse here, obviously, and everyone knows it.
