Why the left should be supporting the bikini protest

The left has had a knee-jerk reaction about the bikini protest. The bikini protest is being held to protest comments by Sheik Hilaly about women being 'uncovered meat' when they dress 'immodestly.'

The argument for not supporting the protest is that it is racist and being supported by right-wingers.

That the rally is being supported by right-wingers is not a valid argument. Right-wing nazis are pro-environmental, but that doesnt mean that we have to oppose everything they say.

As for being racist, Islam is a reactionary sexist religion. Just read the Koran. The Bible is a pile of crap too, by the way. But when Hilaly makes his comments about uncovered meat, it is quite appropriate to criticise.

I KNOW that Muslims are being targeted for terrorist investigations. That is because most terrorists are Muslims, in the same way that most criminals are men. Just check the prison statistics.

Rather than adopting the attitude of saying that every ethnic minority is morally superior, we should be condeming Muslim leaders and the Islamic religion for its racactionary and sexist teaching and practices. Just like we condemn the reactionary nature of every other sexist and reactionary religion and ideology.

The left should turn up in their bikinis - the guys we well.
