Australia: Mosque to get police guard for bikini rally. They're worried about concealed weapons, I guess.

For a more sympathetic account of the Australian bikini protest, which will occur on December 9, go here. The march is organized by Christine Hawkins, a "Melbourne grandmother." It is intended to protest comments by an Australian imam who explained rape on the ground that women in Australia walk around like "uncovered meat."

It's ironic, I think, that in the Australian Broadcasting Company story linked above, the ABC presenter describes the bikini protest as "very provocative." In another context, one might think that claiming it's OK (or understandable, anyway) to rape women not wearing burqas would be deemed "very provocative." But much of the coverage of the bikini event has focused largely on push-back from bikini opponents:

Muslims, socialists, unions and other groups will conduct a counter-rally against bikini protesters who plan to march on a Brunswick mosque on Saturday.

Muslims, check. Socialists, check. ...

Michelle has more here.
