but in context we must acknowledge that people like Pauline Hanson use anti-Islamic arguments as a proxy for racism against Middle Easterners
Is this what greens voters think? I can’t really attest to that, I get along with heaps of people from the middle east just fine, particularly the ex-muslims, in fact I get along better with ex-muslims than green haired melbournite left wing progressives lol
Islam and other religions
51% of Australians had unfavourable sentiments towards Islam, and only 10% looked upon the religion positively, making Australia more negative than 17 of the other 22 countries surveyed.
In fact, 37% of people said they were “very unfavourable”– the most negative response available. This was far higher than the milder option of “fairly unfavourable” (14%), and made it the single most common response to the religion. 23% of people were neutral.

Remade the chart using my fancy paint skills as it was red and dark red for favour and unfavourable (whoever made that chart at the guardian was clearly having a bad day)
New poll suggests 49 per cent of Australians back Muslim migrant ban

Australians hate Islam but only in left wing progressive circles is it a touchy racist!!!11 subject along the lines of what is a woman.
