Nazi, Muslim, atheist spat in Melbourne

Last updated 20:38 23/09/2012

An argument has erupted in Melbourne between men wearing SS Nazi insignias, young men draped in Australian flags, placard-waving atheists and a Muslim couple.

The incident came as police in Melbourne and other cities around Australia came out in force on Sunday to ensure a repeat did not happen of the violent street battle between Muslim protesters and authorities in Sydney last weekend.

The argument broke out after four atheists arrived at the library carrying placards, one of which declared, ‘‘(Like All Religions) Islam is false’’.

A Sydney Muslim couple was drawn into a debate with the atheists over the content of their signs.Tensions escalated as men, some with SS insignias, and others draped in Australian flags who had been waiting at the library for several hours, got involved.

I wonder who was arguing with the Nazis.
