New Aussie anti-Islamic party guns for 20 per cent of the vote

Australia officially now has an anti-Islam political party modeled on the far-right wing movements in Europe

Australia officially now has an anti-Islam political party modeled on the far-right wing movements in Europe. 

The Australian Liberty Alliance (ALA) gained approval from the Australian Electoral Commission on Wednesday for registration as a party, Sydney Morning Herald reported.

Its national secretary, Ralf Schumann, confirmed that controversial anti-Muslim Dutch politician Geert Wilders planned to launch the party on October 20.

Islamic Council of Victoria spokesman Kuranda Seyit said it was quite ludicrous for the ALA to worry about the Islamization of Australia “considering that about 2 per cent of Australians are Muslim, and about half of them are just nominal Muslims”.
