#illridewithyou a leftie campaign, says MP

Christians and Muslims from across the South-East have gathered for a day of inter-faith solidarity

Moira Geddes talks to Sydney Muslim community leader Dr Jamal Rifi about the Sydney CBD siege and how it will impact racial and political tensions.

FEDERAL LNP MP for Dawson George Christensen is under fire on social media after tweeting criticism of the I'll ride with you hashtag.

"#illridewithyou is a typical pathetic left wing black arm band brigade campaign, casting Aussies as racists who will endanger Muslims," his tweet read.

Another tweet read: "#weridetogether & #illridewithyou are typical lefty campaigns that falsely portrays Aussies as thugs who endanger Muslims."

The #illridewithyou hashtag started after Monday's Martin Place hostage drama, with dozens of people offering to accompany Muslim women on trains, buses, ferries and planes if they felt vulnerable travelling wearing hijabs and burqas.

One person on twitter (Michael Jongen) asked if Mr Christensen was representing his constituents with his views: "are you stating the view of the people of Mackay? Is this what your constituents are telling you?"

Another (Michael Wyres) said Mr Christensen should "show a bit of compassion for your fellow man''.

Mr Christensen was unapologetic later tweeting that the creator of the hashtag was "another #hatingwhitey left activist''.
