Muslim Australians Take The Piss Out Of Sonia Kruger’s Call To Close Our Borders

Muslim Australians are leading the charge against Sonia Kruger’s rant this morning on The Today Show.

In the discussion, she cited a divisive article written by Andrew Bolt in News Corp papers and essentially called for Australia to close its borders to Muslim people. You can watch the full discussion here.

Sure, Kruger has the right to express her opinion – but in airing something hateful, ignorant and blatantly discriminatory to thousands of viewers, she allowed others to validate their own Islamophobia.

It was completely irresponsible in a time where the Muslim community needs the rest of Australia to have their backs, not further stigmatize them. In many ways, closing our borders and further marginalising these communities is Daesh’s goal. Good one Kruger!

But when faced with utter nonsense – all you can do is take the piss. This is exactly what some Muslim Australians have been doing today and into the evening. They will have NONE of it.

One of the funniest takes on the days events was the hashtag #SoniasMuslimFriend, referring to the “Muslim friends” Kruger mentioned in her segment. Who are these bloody friends?!
