I don’t think I’ve been this emotional over a federal election.
For a long time a brother has been leaving little Liberal Party pamphlets/paraphernalia around our local masjid which has bugged me but of course I never said anything. Now, the masjid has decided to put placards of Gary Hardgrave’s (member for the Liberal Party) ugly mug outside the building!
Now, anyone who reads my blog knows that I don’t much like our Prime Minister, John Howard and I cannot understand the appeal of the Liberal Party except for those who are already rich but still money hungry, racists and selfish people. Which apparently is MOST OF THE AUSTRALIAN POPULATION OH MY GOD END THIS MISERY SOON.
So of course I’ve been angry (to the point of nearly vomiting) over the masjid board’s decision to advertise the wan man. I thought would I be so annoyed if there were placards of the local Greens member or the local Democrat member? And yes I say I would be. It’s a place of worship for goodness sake and I don’t want politics anywhere near it.
Besides, Muslims are not an amorphous Liberal voting bunch no matter how much support* this particular Liberal may be showing us at this very moment. So whoever made the decision on behalf of the worshipers at my masjid can kindly take the placard down and put it in front of his house, not the house of God.
I don’t think I can help myself. I feel an angry letter coming and doctor, I canna stand the strain!
* And by “support” I actually mean eating all our steak burgers, Portuguese chicken and chips
