Muslim confusion

AUSTRALIA faces a “London-type bombing” if relations between Muslims and the intelligence and police authorities do not improve, an influential Islamic youth leader has warned. Then the solution is easy. If you are the leader the media claim you are then talk to Muslims and explain that for relations between them and Australia to improve they just need to behave better. Talk of slaughtering scores of Australians as they commute to work because of a poorly handled case against Haneef would suggest the youth leader and his followers have a problem. Not the police or ASIO.
“Look at the Haneef thing – why would we trust these guys when all you see is one fumble after another? People are afraid.”
What of?

  • I find the last sentence intriguing. Their parents come out here to make a new life and in the main either assimilated, or if they didn’t, at least made the best of their opportunity in a new country and while keeping to themselves in their own communities didn’t cause angst for the wider community; now their children are saying they are caught between two generations – so what, either continue with your parents lifestyle (which is quite apparent that most of them don’t want to because of its limitations) or move into the Australian mainstream which is very wide and accommodating. Generations of migrants from other cultures have done it, and continue to do it, without threats of violence because they are “caught between two worlds”.

  • A reasonable starting place for our immigration policy would be: You joined us, we didn’t join you.

    Instead, we have opted for the hotel policy ie: Come to our hotel stay in your own rooms, avoid contact with the staff but complain unceasingly about the service.

  • Right! And the more we have of multi-culturalsim in the coutry the worse it’s going to get.

    Pauline must be saying I told you so!
    Ps hopefully we can find a senate seat for her!

    Assimilation is not a dirty word.

  • “Nice town you have here, it would be a pity if something should happen to it”

    I am getting pretty tired of the never ending “demands” and thinly veiled threats from these clowns. I suspect I am not the only one.

  • Fear is a problem – it breeds hate, and then loathing. In time, this leads to mindless violence. If you’re on the receiving end – it doesn’t matter whose “side” you’re on.
    It’s especially a problem when it’s exploited by politicians who are either cynical or thick, or both. Kevin Andrews is a prime example.

  • The only thing people need fear in Australia is the consequences of crime. Am I expected to believe that people who come from Sudan, Iraq or Afghanistan have something to fear from Australian authorities??

    The only justification for be being afraid is if your plotting terrorist or criminal activities and if that’s the case then sin loi.

    I presume your reference to Kevin Andrews is related to his recent comments on refugees. If so then I’m of the opinion it’s his call. If we have limits to the number of refugees we take then it is simply smarter to take those who we might perceive as having more chance at assimilation.
