Islamic school raises ghetto fears
ANGRY Gold Coast residents say a planned Islamic school at Carrara could turn the area into a ghetto capable of breeding terrorists.
Nearly 200 residents armed with Australian flags and placards marched on council chambers yesterday to voice their fears about The Australian International Islamic College.

When asked if residents feared the school could potentially breed terrorists, Carrara resident Mark Turner said: “Absolutely.”
“What we see happening, if the Muslim school goes ahead, is property values will drop and the Muslims will come in and buy up the houses. The Aussies won’t stay and it will become a Muslim community,” he said.
From 4pm the residents gathered in the Evandale parklands where a PA system blasted Men At Work’s Land Down Under and Icehouse’s Great Southern Land.
They then marched around the council chambers before storming the building where they sang Advance Australia Fair and chanted ‘Aussie Aussie Aussie, Oi Oi Oi.’
Mayor Ron Clarke said he heard the protesters but he wasn’t interested in talking with angry residents.
“This is Australia, this type of stuff happens overseas, it should never happen here,” he said.

Well Ron Clarke, we have seen the “type of stuff [that] happens overses” in Mumbai recently. This “type of stuff” will happen in Australia unless we bring the expansion of Islam under control.
