Oh dear i think the author has miss read the mood in Australia. He certainty is a poor student of history.

In the end though what people say they believe doesn't matter it's what people do is what counts.

One only has to look at what happens in countries that are majority Muslim to know what Islamist do.

Dear Hassie,

Talking about "funny names?"

It reminds me of the time I waited to be seen by a
doctor with my husband in the emergency department
of a large Melbourne hospital. After a long wait
a nurse finally came up to us and looked down on
her register where our names were listed, then she
proceeded to ask us in a very loud voice,

"Do you neeed an in- ter - pre- ter?"

You see we did have "funny names," even though
we were born in this country.

My husband simply smiled and after a few seconds
politely inquired:

"Why, doesn't the doctor speak English?"

There are good reasons why Europeans were concerned about Islam during the Middle Ages. Ottoman armies had invaded Europe venturing as far to the outskirts of Vienna. Barbary pirates kidnapped millions of Europeans and sold them into slavery.
As for the benefits of Islamic finance, remove oil revenue and it would collapse in short time. Not being able to charge interest on borrowings, means people can't borrow money in the first place

Dear Jayb.,

Thanks for the names.

I've added them to my list.

Here's a couple more:

Ima Belcher.

James B. Grossweiner.

Dick Power.

Yolanda Squatpump.

Jack Frost.

P. Ennis.

And there's quite a few more.

I remember attending to an Asian gentlemen in the library
a while back, and helping him with his membership application.
I asked him for his name and he replied:

"Nnnnngggg?"

I asked him again what his name was?

He again answered - "Nnnnnnggggg"

I began to get angry and thought -"Is he playing with me?"
Or is he deaf?

The rest of the staff behind me at the desk were killing
themselves laughing. The problem wasn't the gentleman.
It was silly me. It turned out his name was - "NG."
