Part II

To simply pass off racial attacks, bashings, murders and racial
gang rapes, something so vile it had only been seen in war time until they arrived, as the media "Arab-bashing" is not only irresponsible, as ofcourse a bunch of racists are going to think you are attacking them when all that you are doing is describing a disgusting crime or crimes, it is down-right rude to any victims of these racial bashings, murders and vile gang rapes.
Their leaders don't even acknowledge these crimes as being racist. That tells the average Aussie all they need to know.

And about being a proud Aussie who would stand up for this country anytime : what rubbish. Why then, would you not be as angry as the Cronulla residents, who really speak for every Aussie(any race) who know about this problem, who were only angry that, for political reasons, the police and politicians do nothing about the racist thugs who intimidate all non-thems, and at the same time the left-wing spit venom at them and call them hicks. How rude.

How dare you be so elitist that you don't even listen to their concern just because they are working-class whites.

If something isn't done in the next fifty years right accross the western world where all the muslim diasporas are, as well as the criminal elements of the Asian culture(cabramatta), then I fear the only solution will be something hideous like a Nazi party coupled with some extermination. Why push decent, honest, severely tolerant, hard-working people to this extreme?

Islam, not race, is the problem. Islam is a cruel, vicious religion. Unlike Christians, Muslims are not able to interpret the Koran and and come to grips with the parts of their book that are not relevant to today. Christians began ignoring the Old Testament long ago, and they are continually exposing the myths in the Bible as guides to the undeducated and superstitious of yore, totally irrlevant to the modern world.

Until Muslims have an enlightened leader like other religions - not a dead, illiterate prophet - there is no place for Muslims in the Western world.

Until we get some strict laws that apply to everyone, these upsets are going to become a regular part of daily life.
There is a decided lack of discipline that is apparent in the behaviour of the young in all races in Australia.
The white youths are the easiest to blame, their drunken misbehaviour was so obvious.
The Middle East youths were more vicious but there seemed to be a complete lack of police and media around although retaliation was expected.
If the politicians and the police can grow some backbone and draw a line that the young know they must not step over , we will get some civility but unless the law acts like the law, they will be ignored.
For the sake of the population the young must be made to act in a decent manner.

Bigoted sentements? divided nation? just how far from reality will some stray?
A shamefull over reaction to a list of shamefull acts will never divid this nation.
Yes the whites only ratbags are small in number but thanks to press exposure big on impact.
A group of Lebanese Muslims very small in overall numbers have zero respect for our country and us.
Both groups of idiots have no chance of changeing our countrys beleif in a fair go.
This thread can try to distroy multi culturism if you wish but is bound to fail.
One culture however , not Australia,s must change facts are facts.

I have never been so sickeningly appalled and disgusted at the 'racial riot' occurring in Sydney over the past 14 days. Graphic images of the worst kind - of cowardly 'yobbos' leering at the camera, bedecked in our National flag, sledging insults, and pursuing helter-skelter, an ambulance while raining beer bottles, rocks etc on defenceless NSW police, trying to maintain Law and Order.

That it happened two weeks from Christmas, and in Cronulla - sic the centre of the Universe ! Best Olympic Games ever ! Overall winner of the State of Origin ! Birth place of the Nation !
Simply say's it all.

From recent post's on Forum, recriminate wannabee's flexing their intellectual muscle, who deride multiculturalism, middle-east migration, foreigners, white supremacy, xenophobia, neo-nazism etc please take a cold shower !

Sociologist will tell us, that letting fly at ' labels ' for the World's ill's is a certain sign of 'you did this-she did that syndrome. Blissfully, the double standards displayed will re-emerge soon enough - else where ?

There is nothing novel about rioting in Sydneysville - it's origins are probably lost in History.

From the First Fleeter's: when a brigantine of convict women berthed in Darling Harbour - it not only created rioting, chaos, debauchery and mayhem for a sex starved colony bereft of members of the fairer sex - they subsequently hanged the offenders.

More recent, it took the NSWPD over a month to restore L/O when Aboriginal ghetto Redfern was under siege and burning ! Even then, the gendarmes were ineffectual and abysmally slow in response. Commissioner Maroney's reaction was less then reassuring. He equivocated several times.

G forbid, that Sydney might be the subject of a terrorist bomb threat ! Operation "SETA" was nothing more than a flyblown PR exercise - as if the presence of 2000 coppers and SWAT teams (SAS commando's on standby too )trudging the beach - armed to the teeth, in the mid-day Ozzie sun, would send shivers down blind Freddy's spine. Denuding who ?

AC Nielson's Poll revealed only 22 % of Ozzies believed the skirmish was ' racially motivated'. So where/how have the social-engineers, pseudo-academic's,expert's Jo Walkim, Rafa McNutty, liberals and libertines, got it so horribly wrong ?

At the very least, the heat has been taken off the Orientals - Cabramatta, Haymarket, Chinatown, Marrickville where wholesale discrimination, violence, abuse, fire-bombing, intimidation, thuggery has been institutionalised since 1858. Sporadic flares, 1994 MP John Newman, gunned down in broad daylight. Isn't it obvious the problem has been seething for eons ?

Geoffrey Blainey, Allan Jones,and the who's who on anti-multiculturalism clique have gone public - they want an Anglo-celtic Australia, cessation of immigration, only Australian spoken, and a pathetic diatribe of 'purient-spittle' arguments reminiscent of Himmler's 'final solution ' Why not build a 'berlin wall' to keep the wogs out. When do we bring in the 'ethnic cleansing', holocaust and class-divisions ? Wogs, lebs and people of middle-eastern appearances to wear arm-bands to identify the rabble ??

Futher exacerbating the issue, JWH in addition to his draconian IR legislature proposes to allow 'guest workers' from developing countries,temporary visa's to work here. His earlier 'think-tank' policies were a dismal failure - creating a chronic shortage of skilled workers to fulfill the needs of our resources's sector ? Not only will this invite further bloodshed, more ghetto's, social Armageddon, cheap labour and questionable quality - Cronulla will appear a 'blimp' on the radar, by comparison. What of 'family reunions'. The ramifications surely a by-product of the current crisis being played out in Sydney.

Greedy Employers will ensure wages are kept at ' coolie-level'. We will see an erosion of conditions, quality of life - which puts paid on Duncan Kerr's, and the ALP's general acceptance of IR. Why haven't we heard rimblings from the worker's advocate ?

Could it be, the ACTU are still smarting, and in a state of denial after championing Mark Latham for PM, and copping abuse in his biography of the hypocrisy and cronyism that permeats every sub-branch in the ALP ?

So much for our Pollies and their movers-and-shakers.

Cheers
