I don't think you're right zimbos_05, if it had been a Muslim that had made disparaging remarks about homosexuals the media wouldn't have touched it with a 10 ft pole for fear of being seen as culturally insensitive.
Can't tell if that is sarcasm, but if it's not, do I really need to bring up Yassmin Abdel-Mogahed and her facebook comment as just one example...

...or the defence of George Pell

When Raelene Castle took over, everyone on the kennel (bulldogs supporter forum) said she will bankrupt RA in two years. Looks like they were on the money to a tee.

For the non aussies, this is what we are dealing with. A goth, yes a goth, who wears a wig who once allocated ten percent of Bulldogs memberships (worth 100 USD) to a bunch of Sudanese refugees. Who probably didn’t even know what Rugby league or union is.

I remember the Yassmin Abdel-Magied story, it actually backs up my point. It had nowhere near the same level of media coverage that Israel Folau has received, and the ABC didn't take any action against her because of the comments she made.

Not to mention that it isn’t even the same situation. She took a dig at the diggers and undermined Anzac Day by trying to reimagine what Anzac Day was about.
Lol making Anzac Day about Palestine. Lol.
Besides, who the fuck is she ? She’s no one. Whinging Random journalist hating Australia constantly with literally no credentials as a journalist and n track record of anything.

If Folau was a Muslim no one would have batted an eye at his anti-gay rhetoric. Folau is an easy target because he is a Christian. I always thought Australia was a land of common sense and not prone to such PC madness but unfortunately it seems those days are gone. I hope Rugby Australia gets taken to the cleaners.

It had quite a lot of media coverage. She was given death threats (hence why she had to leave the country) and labelled a whole bunch of derogatory terms. She come out and apologised (hence why ABC did not take action publicly) and was still the subject of verbal and written abuse.

I'm not a fan of hers, but the facts speak for themselves.

Thanks for proving my point though.

She did not only mention Palestine in her post btw, so why only focusing on that. A muslim 5000 miles away can say something and suddenly all Muslims are evil infidel hating sharia law advocating terrorists. I mean, 50 people got massacred and a lot of the focus moved to a debate on muslim migration.

The thing with Folaus comments are that he is openly speaking about a massive community as he did not just speak about gay people. He is dictating to them about their lives and condemning people to hell. Regardless of what you may think of others and their choices in life (I want to be clear, I am not saying being gay is a choice, but his post spoke about a lot of things) you do not have a right to speak ill of others in such ways. He has not apologised for his comments instead continued on the attack.
