Anti-Alawite bigotry in Australia

Hussein sent me this:  "Thought you might be interested in this - there is a campaign currently going on in Sydney, Australia by Salafi/Wahabis targeting Shia/Alawi businesses as a result of Syria.  It is a Facebook page called Boycott Tyranny:  The purpose of the page states - "This page will list businesses in Sydney that are nosayri or rafidi, those whom support the assad regime in Syria." Therefore, if you are simply Shia or Alawi, you automatically support the regime.  We have contacted the relevant authorities, but of course, nothing has been done to stop the site. I can just imagine what the authorities would have done already if the site was against Jewish businesses - I'm sure they would have passed laws in parliament by now to stop such a site!   Also in February, a regime supporter was shot after having a debate with someone on Facebook".
