After what happened in Sydney earlier this month, I can't say that I blame them:
The sign was handwritten on a chalkboard displayed outside the Eagle’s Nest Bar and Grill, a restaurant located in the Queensland, Australia town of Longreach.
Australia’s Brisbane Times reports that on Nov. 19, Longreach local Helen Day posted pictures of the sign on the restaurant’s Facebook page and wrote:
Just a bit surprised to see the sign up [reading] “Sorry No Muslims” … what’s that about? I certainly won’t be going into a place where my Muslim friends are not welcome!
The Brisbane Times notes that the full message on the sign read, “2000 years ago Jesus Christ made headlines turning water into wine…the tradition continues…We turn money into beer (Sorry No Muslims).”
That's actually kind of clever - the part about turning money into beer, that is. But of course, nobody's going to remember anything of the sign's contents outside the parentheses.
No, it's not very multi-culti. But speaking as an ever-potential restaurant patron, if given the choice between being multi-culti and not having to worry about a Muslim patron jumping up, shouting "Allahu Akbar!" and either taking the rest of us patrons hostage or just gunning us all down or blowing us all up, I would be entirely happy and satisfied to dine in an establishment that was a Muslim-free zone, thank you very much. Besides, that way I can get bacon on my burgers.
This'll never be allowed to last, of course, as Westerners seem to have an insatiable death wish about this kind of thing. The only practical difficulty I see with it is one of disguise: How do you necessarily know that a given fellow (male) diner is a Muslim? Yes, the burqa or head covering would be a difficult clue to miss on female customers, but remember the success that ISIS has had winning over Western recruits, including from Australia. How difficult would it be to send the Aussie jihadists back home and reduce the Eagle's Nest Bar & Grill to dust, hot vapor, and blackened kindling, without the proprietor ever seeing it coming?
Unless the Messiah is going to stand guard in incognito fashion, that is.
