What irony on the front of the Bunbury Mail last week.
The picture referenced the upcoming Multicultural Night Under the Stars which will showcase cultural pride and the city's diversity, however the headline of the front page article reported the recent uproar at plans to build a mosque.
A Facebook page called “Stop the mosque in Bunbury or anywhere in the South West” has even been set up.
I am deeply saddened that in a “culturally diverse” society there are people openly discriminating against Muslims building a place of worship.
Well done to the Bunbury Mail for providing the live chat with Dr Ashraf on Thursday.
It highlighted the misconceptions people have about Islam.
If other religious denominations have places of worship in the local area then Muslims have a right to have a mosque.
Simple.
