After causing a national furore by dressing in Muslim attire and storming an Anglican church service on Sunday, the chairman for right-wing radical group, Party For Freedom, has been schooled by The Project host Waleed Aly.
Appearing on Monday night’s episode of the program to discuss his group’s “peaceful protest” – which included storming the building to interrupt Father Rob Bower’s sermon and yelling at parishioners through a megaphone – Nick Folkes told viewers, “I strongly believe not all culture is equal.”

Being questioned by panelist Steve Price, Folkes - who appeared on the episode wearing a stick-on beard in an attempt to mock the look of some Muslim men - said he and the group didn't feel they had scared anyone during the protest.

Father Rob Bower’s sermon and yelling at parishioners through a
megaphone –* - doesn't sound at all peaceful to me
Why is the Anglican priest so surprised at these actions by concerned citizens; he, the priest, has been kicking sand in the faces of the locals for years.
Advocating for tolerance and decency is 'kicking sand' in people's faces? Really? What sort of values would one hold that sees advocating being a decent, tolerant. welcoming human being and advocating Christianity as Christ himself advocated, as 'kicking sand'? I think Christ seriously disagree with you. It is those anti everything Jesus stood for; immigration, charity, kindness - you know, all those 'Christian' virtues, that are the ones kicking sand in the eyes of people who hold moral human values, Christian and non-Christian.
