Australia is
once again facing a threat. Few months back, there has been lots of
clash with respect to racism. Now once again there have been few
scuffles between anti-Islam and anti-racism protesters.
Earlier
there was a huge gathering at Sydney beach to mark the 10th anniversary
of modern Australia's worst race riots. Special forces and Riot Police
were already assembled to control the crowd on Cronulla beach. In
December 11, 2005, some anti-Islam groups were blocked by courts from
organizing a "memorial" rally.
The riot
which happened some 10 years back saw a drunken white mob of thousands
attack Arab-Australians. They later made huge ripples and it even caused
retaliatory attacks. The anniversary for 10th year took place with some
concerns. But still Police officials were scared that a violence may
break out as the protesters were gathered in huge number.
During
the anniversary, a Sri Lankan Christian shouted, "If you come here,
integrate in Australian life and culture.. or shut up, pack up and get
out." and this caused more protests and troubles within. However Police
controlled the situation before riots burst out.
