I am in Australia to speak at the SION/Q Society’s First International Symposium on Liberty and Islam. Pamela Geller, Ashraf Ramelah, Nonie Darwish and I made the trip from the States, and we will be speaking alongside a formidable roster of Australian freedom fighters.
Last night, our gracious hosts held a cocktail reception for the speakers and some friends at a local restaurant here in Melbourne. The happy and low-key crowd was taken aback when a gang of screaming, chanting, frothing-at-the-mouth fascist thugs suddenly appeared at the door, trying to get into the room. Our security detail held them back, but the fascists dropped leaflets declaring that they would be disrupting all of our events throughout the weekend.
This incident vividly illustrated the nature of our struggle: it is truly, as Pamela Geller has so indelibly put it, a struggle of the civilized man vs. the savage. One side was enjoying drinks and polite conversation, having gathered together in service of the cause of freedom and human rights. The other side, while it professes to be the true guardian of those things, came to the restaurant determined to harass, assault, and maybe even kill us. They are, as I have said before, the true children and heirs of the Nazi brownshirts who menaced and assaulted people at rallies and speeches of the Nazis’ opponents in the early 1930s. The struggle we are in is one that will determine whether our societies will remain civil and free, or fall prey to violence, thuggery, and authoritarianism.
Here is Pamela Geller’s account:

The eagle landed in Oz today. Robert Spencer, Ashraf Ramelah, Nonie Darwish and other luminaries in the fight of freedom converged in Melbourne, Australia for SION/Q Society’s First International Symposium on Liberty and Islam. From the airport I headed to a press conference, where Robert and I were interviewed by SBS News (Australia’s PBS). I will upload that video as soon as possible. The interviewer was a typically hostile Leftist reporter (no surprise there).
Then this evening, the Q Society held a welcoming reception for us at a local restaurant. This event was neither open to the public nor publicly announced. It was a lovely affair with longtime supporters and activists greeting us, welcoming us, and taking pictures with us. We weren’t there ten minutes when suddenly a crazed mob of left-fascists attempted to storm the room, attacking and throwing their bodies against our security team while frenziedly screaming that we were the fascists — the irony was unmistakable. These savages were really out of control. Had they managed to break through our security cordon, it is clear that they would have brutally assaulted as many of the freedom-lovers in the room as they possibly could. It was eerily reminiscent of the Muslim riots that took place in Sydney in 2012….
I also want to thank the notable and courageous German counter jihadist Michael Stürzenberger, leader of the Freedom Party, for his greetings:

Sebastian Nobile says
In Germany and Austria we have great problems with these new fascists, who label themselves as antifascists. And in Germany the media takes part in these attacks against islamcritics in a large scale. The media lies constantly about so-called right wing extremists. It is an absolute horror here in Germany to use the right of free spech – attacks take place regularly and are backed by corrupt media, politicians and even by the police. Sad, just sad! Keep on fighting the good fight! God luck and the blessing of God for your work!
Milan Pavic says
This is the case all over the West. It’s a strategy from the Liberal Utopists, meant to bring down the supremacy of the White Man.

Milan,r u from Serbia? Have u heard about the project of building the biggest mask in Europe in Belgrade by a country from ME as a sponsor?

Unfortunately, Australia is also infested with this type of fools. Truly embarrassed with the behaviour of these mindless drones.
Davegreybeard says
What a fabulous and dazzling outfit you have on, General Geller!
Were local JW posters aware of this meeting and invited?
I’m thinking dumbledoresarmy.
dumbledoresarmy says
I would have loved to go; I knew about the gathering. But circumstances simply did not permit.
shrugger says
No matter what it is that they’re perpetually (childishly) outraged about. It’s always yelling and threats, often ending in violence and destruction.
We see them. We know them for what they are and we wish they’d grow up.

Typical fascists when no argument crash the event. M
Betty Schneider says
Today, Sat. 3/7, I was pleased to view on Fox-TV how “The Five” mocked Islam’s multitude intolerances of just about everything under the sun. They described some subjects of Islamic intolerance and were very matter-of-fact about it. If you can find the clip, I know you’ll find that quick segment comforting.
stevo says
looked for that clip on youtube betty, nowhere to be seen. taken down due to complaints of “islamophobia”? i dont know
Lucy says
The facist thugs infiltrated the Q Society mail list and were also causing enormous strife at the Geert Wilders event last year – physically attacking people trying to access the event. They are extremely dangerous and violent – hence I stayed away from this event.. too scared to come actually.
Kepha says
Back when I was a young man, the “fascist” behavior of these self-proclaimed “anti-fascists” was one of the things that really alienated me. Ever since then, whenever Leftist loftily tells me, “I disagree with what you say, but will fight to the death for your right to say it”, I count the silver just to be sure. They loudly proclaim how they think “prejudice” is “sick”, but never examine the irrational prejudices on which they themselves operate.
Uncle Vladdi says
There are more pics of the event up over at Sheik Yer’Mami’s Winds of Jihad site:

Their signs:”Muslims are welcome here! We won’t let fear control us!”
Such a truly astounding, amazingly obvious display of blatant hypocrisy!
Wow. I’m almost speechless myself after that showcasing of feral rabidity!
😉
No Fear says
Unfortunately, I am unable to make it to Melbourne for the wonderful event.
As an Australian I welcome Robert Spencer, Pam Geller and Gavin Boby and all the freedom loving speakers at the event.
Robert and all, please ignore the freedom hating leftist fascists who wish to shut down the discussion of Islam and freedom of speech in Australia. They shame Australia with their attempt to silence those who champion freedom for all.
Larry A. Singleton says
Maybe we’ll get a chance to go over there and kick some fascist ass again. This time we’ll have some help on the inside. It would be nice to know who’s screwing with him. I don’t mind sending my opinion to these Nazis. Actually, I kind of enjoy it. Like these “Islamic thinkers Society”. I’m still waiting for a response to my post on their Facebook page. But then again. I’ve sent hundreds of these things and I rarely, Rarely get a response… …that hasn’t consisted of name calling. Never, Ever anything of substance.
Mark says
Firstly, welcome (again) to Oz, Robert, Pamela, Ashraf and Nonie. Apologies for the useful idiot leftists who attempted to crash your gathering-I’m sure you understand the entire Western world is infested with such deluded hypocrites. Robert, I am thoroughly enjoying your books-Truth about Muhammad, P.I.G. to Islam and the Infidel’s Guide to Islam. Thank you so much for risking your life/lives to educate us about the scourge and depravity of the death cult that is Islam, and especially how we can reach out to such pious people in the hope (and prayers) that they can come to know the true, living God in Jesus Christ. Muslims are so close yet so far away when it comes to knowing God.
It is unlikely that I will ever get to meet you, Robert, but I hope this message finds you well and I pray you, and all the people fighting to expose Islam, continue to do so under God’s loving guidance and protection.
Big cheers especially to David Wood, Sam Shamoun, Pastor Joseph and all the team at ABN for their wonderful and brave work!
‘Til we meet in Heaven….

Unfortunately, my computer refused to play the SBS news clip that had the – very short – interview grab with Mr Spencer.
There has been so far an almost total media/ news blackout about this event.
At the ABC online news portal, there is *nothing*.
Googling suggests that both the Fairfax and Murdoch press and our assorted commercial TV channels are ignoring it as well.
Essentially, they seem to be pretending that it’s not “news” at all: that a bunch of Australian citizens being worried enough about Islamic jihad and the sharia, that they would get together the cash to pay to bring speakers such as Gavin Boby and Mr Spencer all the way from the Northern Hemisphere to the far side of the world (i.e Australia), and then shell out the not inconsiderable costs of security (and the reasons WHY expensive security measures are required), to discuss these matters with us, is not worth reporting.
Rob says
Why weren’t they expecting and ready for this attack? Ready with hidden video cams to record the fascists from all angles, ready to use it against them, ready to spread it all over the internet, ready to hire lawyers and press civil and criminal charges against them all? Ready to to turn the attack back on the fascists and exploit it to the fullest? All the attendees are heroes of western civilization. All are warriors. But they need to learn how to use effective tactics and strategies of psychological warfare to destroy their attackers and their supporters in the media and government. Learn to fight down and dirty. Always be on the offensive. Attack, attack, attack. Never stop. Good luck and thank you.
No Fear says
The protesters are willing to crash a SION freedon of speech event but why are they not concerned about the meetings held in Australia by the Hizb ut Tahrir group who have openly said they wish to establish a worldwide Islamic caliphate and instigate the death penalty for apostasy? When I read their draft constitution from the Australian website I was surprised to read of the death penalty. I checked via email and they confirmed it was correct. Don’t any of the leftist protesters have any qualms about imposing a death penalty for apostates of Islam worldwide? Curiously their draft constitution has idisappeared from the Australian Hizb ut Tahrir website.
Defcon 4 says
Isn’t it strange how “antifascists” exhibit the same behavior as Nazi brownshirts did in the Weimar Republic?
shrugger says
No Not really.
voegelinian says
Actually, Defcon’s rhetorical question is pertinent; it is strange. And it reflects perhaps the very heart of the unique nature of this fourth World War that is currently being waged unilaterally: We are still fighting the last war in our minds — we think the only ideologically evil enemy possible must be “another Hitler”, which in the conception of the dominant Western paradigm (PC MC) means a White Western Racist.
Since Muslims are perceived by PC MC to be an Ethnic People (or a wonderful tapestry or mosaic or rainbow of Ethnic Peoples), and since PC MC tends to apply “Auster’s Law of Majority/Minority Relations” — the law being that “the worse an ethnic minority behaves, the more we must appease and whitewash them” — then the more that Muslims wage war on us in the myriad ways they have been (which includes among many other tactics in addition to violence, the Stealth Jihad, Jihad of the Pen, and Immigration Jihad), the more the West wrings its hands and worries about “another Holocaust” and “another Hitler” that will round up millions of innocent Muslims and put them in extermination camps.
These Euro Leftists who are “anti-fascist” (hence, “Antifa”) really sincerely believe they are on the side of the angels, helping to try to prevent “another Hitler”. What makes it supremely ironic and surreal is that in doing so, they are doing their part unwittingly in facilitating the rise of “another Hitler” — in the form of a revival of Islam’s perennial war against the West, an Islam essentially as totalitarian, supremacist and violent as was Nazism; not far worse than Nazism.
P.S.: Sure, there are some extremist Leftists who have crossed over to the dark side and actually envision and work for a totalitarian dream in the general mold of Stalinism; but I would argue they are a tiny minority. The real problem here is the good intentions and the Hell on Earth they are busy paving; it is not useful for us to demonize them beyond that, for then we would not be “Knowing Our Friend” who has befriended our enemy.

Important Correction to my post above:
“…an Islam essentially as totalitarian, supremacist and violent as was Nazism; not far worse than Nazism.”
that should be, of course:
“…an Islam essentially as totalitarian, supremacist and violent as was Nazism; if not far worse than Nazism.”
No Fear says
Excellent post.
Anglojew says
Apologise on behalf of Aussies
They’re likely “new Australians.”
Jon says
As another Aussie I also welcome you to Australia. I must say today (Saturday 8/3) I have not read or seen any coverage on the ABC/SBS channels of your visit, or your problems at the Melbourne hotel. They’re certainly downplaying that, but as you point out, they would not look favourably on your message. They are totally biased in any reportage about the Islamic threat.
I also welcome the new political party here, as announced by Geert Wilders.
mortimer says
Wonderful that the counterjihad is gaining momentum Down Under. But the opposition to freedom seems to be there as well. Calling ‘fascist’ to anyone who disagrees, they show who they are: totalitarians.
There were close philosophical, political and organizational connections between the Nazi and Soviet regimes before and during the early stages of World War II. Stalin’s Great Purge as well as the artificial famine in Ukraine, the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact, the Katyn massacre, Gestapo-NKVD collaboration, Soviet mass deportations and medical experiments in the GULAG were acts that reflected the deep philosophical links between the two systems.
The propaganda methods of the two systems were also similar with melodrama, kitsch iconography and big lies being the mainstay. These totalitarians are the same today, but they hide their true colors most of the time.
mortimer says
The current events of the Russian invasion of Ukraine show that communists are basically the same as fascists and easily switch from one totalitarian system to the other, because in the end, they are extraordinarily similar.
Kepha says
Rhetorical point: I don’t see these people as “knuckldraggers”. I see them as so open-minded that their brains have fallen right out of their heads.
Green Infidel says
So – after Britain, Germany and Scandinavia, the “anti-fascists” now make themselves felt Down Under… strange, eh? Or is all that OIC money being put to “good use” by having dedicated lobby groups to rouse the leftist rabble?
dumbledoresarmy says
My money is on Muslim manipulators and / or OIC seed money being involved at some point.
What’s needed is a good old-fashioned investigative reporter – a bit like “John Roy Carlson”, author of “Under Cover” (in which he lifted the lid on Nazi front groups and plots in the USA both before and in the early stages of WWII), “The Plotters” (on communist networks) and “Cairo to Damascus” (in which, among other things, he scored a face-to-face interview with Hassan Al Banna of the Ikhwan) – to *infiltrate* something like UAF in the UK, or a branch of BDS, and ferret quietly away.
profitsbeard says
Islam is the paradigm for fascism… -with a ‘God’ (God help us).
Those who tacitly support Islam, like these faux “Anti-fascists”, are buffoons and cartoons.
If they truly believed in “resisting tyranny”, then Islam would be first on their list of ‘Holy’ Terrors to be Opposed.
And these self-proclaimed freedom lovers would rise in support of Islam’s restraint within a ‘prophylactic zone’ until the homicidal Cult of Mohammad either devours itself [via Sunni-Shi’ite strife] or implodes under the weight of its own Big [ Foundational / Koranic ] Lies.
Fighting actual fascism brings out actual fascists, ironically.

Thanks for taking the time to come to Australia Robert. It was greatly appreciated. I discuss the weekend conference here:

Keep up your great work.

These are the same rabble that tried to close down One nation when Hanson was a member od parliament. They mainly consist of left wing groups such as the Socialist Alliance, Get Up, Greens and the University of students Union. Ian Rintoul is one of the ring leaders from the Refugee Collective. There mission is to cause as much interference as possible to made things harder to find places to have meetings.
