Racism: Somali woman got thrown out of a Train in Australia
Muslim woman thrown off moving train in Australia

The victim had her head bashed into the wall of the train a number times by an unknown woman who was shouting abuse before being pushed off the train.
A 26-year-old Muslim woman suffered injuries after being racially abused, assaulted and thrown off a moving train in Australia's Melbourne last week, in an alarming Islamophobic attack.
Detective Senior Constable Michael Potter was quoted by 9News on Monday saying the attack had a “massive effect” on the victim, calling it “totally unacceptable.”
The victim, who is Somali in origin, had her head bashed into the wall of the train a number times by an unknown woman who was shouting abuse before being pushed off the train, a Victorian police spokesperson told the Daily Mail.
Prominent Australian Muslims say their community is being unfairly targeted by law enforcement and threatened by right-wing groups, as the government's tough new policies aimed at combating 'radicals' threaten to create a backlash.
Authorities are on high alert since massive counter-terrorism raids last week thwarted what the government said was a plot by the ISIL militant group to publicly behead a random member of the public.
Prime Minister Tony Abbott is seeking broad new security powers and policing has been tightened in public places such as Parliament House, sporting events and airports.
Abbott insists the measures are not meant to target Muslims, but Sydney-based criminal defence attorney Adam Houda says it is already clear that they have resulted in racial profiling.
He gave as one example three bearded Muslim men detained in Sydney at a rugby game after a spectator told police they were using their mobile phones "suspiciously".
"The objective facts are they were pin-pointed because of their appearance," Houda told Reuters. "If they were spoken to because they were playing with their phones, well then that's just ridiculous."
Local Muslim leaders privately say racial tensions could spiral quickly out of control. In 2005, brawls between locals from the largely white Cronulla neighbourhood and Lebanese Muslim youths from the western Sydney area at the centre of the current security crackdown quickly degenerated into days of bloody riots involving thousands of people.
Australia's Grand Mufti, Ibrahim Abu Mohammad, said he was considering legal action after a senior imam was detained for more than two hours, causing him to miss his flight to Saudi Arabia for the annual Haj pilgrimage.
"It is totally unacceptable for any Australian citizen, let alone a senior member of ANIC to be subjected to this seemingly random yet profiled manner causing severe stress and unwanted inconvenience," he said in a statement, referring to the Australian National Council of Imams.

Although I sympathize with the woman, I think the people to blame for this are the Muslims who keep crying about anything especially when they are in foreign lands. They've been demonstrating pretty stupidly in Australia, forgetting that cadaans, just like any other person, can turn into an animal within a minute. Just because people have lived under liberalism for decades, doesn't mean that he can't go ape in a minute.

the problem is the conservatives. Somalis are living in peace in Liberal places like USA blue states , Scandanavia, Netherlands, Switzerland, Canada, Britain etc

Sydney is too dangerous for racist cadaan.
When i lived in sydney lebanese youth used skinheads for sport.
If some one spots a skin head gathering they will phone their friends and you will have car loads of bored youths absolutely delighted to crack some skulls.
Infact they roam deep into white only suburbs looking for a fight, they incite them.
the specially love bars filled with drunk whites, as they are more likely to fight.
itsb a sport for them.

Re: Racism: Somali woman got thrown out of a Train in Austra
Australians are no more conservative than the countries you listed. But I've noticed Australians don't have as much of a tolerance for people who disrespect their way of life like the Americans or Brits do. Just a few weeks ago, I think around a dozen IS sympathizers and terrorists were detained/arrested. I'd go insane too if I welcomed piss poor and hopeless refugees into my land and as a thank you they start planning to randomly slaughter people on the streets of Sydney.visious wrote:the problem is the conservatives.

Sympathies to my Somali sister though. I hope the book is thrown at the attacker. The attacker should of organized street protests
