A Christian group is organising an anti-Burqa rally with a radical message.

As a percentage, Muslims account for just 1.6 per cent of our population. However, since Carnita Matthews burst onto the scene with her Burqa rant at a New South Wales policeman, anti-Muslim prejudices and fears have once again risen to the surface.

Some Australians are scared of the Burqa, and that's why another Australian is on a mission to win back their hearts and minds.

“I'm sure once Australians learn about what Islam is, and its values and teachings, that caution from both the Australian non-Muslims and the Australian Muslims will dissipate,” said Diaa Mohammad.

Diaa Mohammad is a young Muslim who has resorted to advertising in an attempt to sell his message that people need not fear Islam. His billboards are scattered everywhere, and soon he will put out a television ad.

"The majority of responses have been positive and receptive," said Diaa. "I think that's the true Australian way.”

David Hanby calls himself a Coptic Christian. He believes Diaa's advertising campaign is a sinister plot to convert us all to Islam.

“I think they are trying to infiltrate and gain more power in the country,” said David Hanby.

It is this fear of the unknown that Diaa is hoping to change. “That's why I've gone and put these ads out. (Most people) don't know what the Burqa stands for, what the Hijab stands for, what the Muslim view on violence is, how we treat our women ... the majority of people just don't know.” Say

But has Diaa left his run too late? In the battle of ideologies there is an advertising campaign of a different sort underway. Thousands of Facebook followers are planning rallies to ban the Burqa, and David Hanby plans to be there in full mask.

"We've asked people to cover their face with a crash helmet, mask, balaclava, handkerchief ... just to illustrate the point that Australia should be a country of one law for all people," said David.

According to Diaa, many Muslims have no problem with removing Burqas for identification purposes, but believes moves for a blanket ban smack of the intolerance he hopes his ads will one day prevent.

"I hope the majority of Muslims don't respond to it. I think people behind it just want to get a reaction from Muslims. It is childish, immature, and it's disrespectful," he concluded.
