They have the right to f*ck off too. Remember the tens of thousands of Australians who died fighting Fascism in WWII, so it's disgusting that these local Fascists link their miserable, pathetic politics to our club. |

Remember all the people who died at the hands of the Fascists who had their right to free speech removed, who couldn't speak out against their oppressors. If you like it or not, they have that right to their opinion. |

Seriously stating no Mosques is pathetic.
Freedom of religion is fundamental.
And I am a non believer.
Fu....k the idiots who produced such a banner.
I would of tore it down if I had seen it..
I have taught 100's of Muslims kids.
And they are decent human beings. |
100% bang on mate!
Although I would add- I do not believe these people are Collingwood supporters. |

Of course they're not Pies supporters. They are just a pack of scumbags. If I'd been there I'd have ripped the banner down. |

There are limits to free speech. Because of the lessons from the NAZIS concentration camps and gas chambers, most civilised societies outlaw speech which promotes racial/religious hatred. |

True. I don't subscribe to the slippery slope arguments people put forward when ever there's a crack down on hate speech. |

These people have a right to free speech but I don't like seeing political causes (good or bad depending on your political views) being exposed at a football game.
Please keep politics and sport separate.

Limiting free speech is the cowards way to win an argument. |

| Even in the USA the right to free speech means the right to not be prosecuted by the Government. The MCG is private property and they have the right to set their own standards. I'm all for people unfurling this banner on the street and having a protest march, but even the most fervent anti-Islamist would generally baulk at shitting up the Footy. Save it for the appropriate forum please. |

AFL season 2016: Eddie wants life ban for people behind anti-Muslim banner
Date
April 1, 2016 - 11:05PM
Larissa Nicholson
Reporter
Collingwood president Eddie McGuire says that the people who unfurled an offensive anti-Muslim banner at the MCG on Friday night should be banned from football for life.
McGuire said those who displayed the banner were not necessarily Collingwood fans.
They were opportunists who had used the occasion to spread a "disgraceful" message, he said.
Far-right group the United Patriots Front identified themselves on the banner.
Victoria Police removed the culprits from the ground, but they later posted a photo of the banner on their Facebook captioned "MCG. Aussie Pride."
