Surely the time to review muslim immigration is now. The promised seemless arrival of muslims in Western countries hasn’t been realized. It seems whole forests have been cut down just to provide enough paper to record their activities. Firstly they wanted to know why we had no mosques. Since then their fault finding has turned up the inappropriateness of clothing worn by our women; our failure to attend Friday prayers; the way we slaughter our animals; our religion; the religion of other groups; freedom; our system of government; and so much more. Now they want their own political party. All this throws up the question ‘just what contribution can muslims make to multiculturalism’?

It should be mandatory for all muslims to study the arrival in Australia of people from Spain or Estonia or Peru. Such groups have arrived in Australia without causing a ripple. Those groups are the paradigm of ‘seemless immigration’. We don’t even know how many Estonians live in Australia. However, we are reminded at regular intervals about the number of muslims in Australia.

It is apparent that muslims and life in the West are immiscible

Once I looked up the word immiscible I agreed with you. All Muslim writtings send a clear undeniable message. The aim of Islam is to take over the would. We non-muslims have three options.

1. Fight and be killed
2. Convert to Islam
3. Surrender and live in servitude to Islam.

I am more than happy for it to be proven that this is not the case. However, the more I study Islam the more I come to realise that those so called "radical extremist muslims" are acctually a refection of the true islam.

Here’s how the Ayatollah Khomeini put it:
“Those who know nothing of Islam pretend that Islam counsels against war. Those who say this are witless. Islam says: Kill all the unbelievers just as they would kill you all! Kill them, put them to the sword and scatter their armies.”

Sage - "All this throws up the question ‘just what contribution can muslims make to multiculturalism’?"

Better ask what contribution Muslims can make to Australia. The answer is 'none'.

But they have caused more division and social problems than any other immigrant group in Australia's history with their high level of crime and violence, their continual demands for special treatment and their religious hatred and bigotry against Australia and Australians.

Before anyone states the usual - 'All Muslims arent like this' - so what? Radicals have the power and I dont see too many 'moderates' challenging the status quo.

Give Muslims more political power in Australia? Lets commit mass suicide instead, its quicker and probably less painful.

Hilalli is smarter than he looks.

He so cleverly throws a grenade knowing damn well that the reaction will get him free exposure and initiate discussion.

The discussion now will be "who" would lead Muslims in the next election and NOT do Muslims have a legitimate right to call their cult a religion under Australian law - when all the facts and evidence prove Islam to be anti-secular, anti-Australian, anti-Christian, anti-Jew, and definately dangerous to our social fabric and national security.

Well done Sheikh - avoiding core issues by smoke blinding the media with "trivial quotes from the Qur'an" and stupid tasteless remarks about Australian values.

The article shows that the chasm between Islam and main stream Australia is widening. Muslims are digging themselves deeper into oblivion. If not for our democratic system and tolerant society – they would be all deported onto an island, shot for treason, and in jails.

Australian may be blasé about their political future BUT they recognise rat when they smell one…

'All Muslims arent like this'

That's right, The ones who are not like this are the ones who have not read the Koran.

By the way you will notice that when Muslims comment on the ranting of "radical clerics" they say that his comments were "ill informed" or "unfortunate". They don't acctually say that the clerics commenst were "wrong" or "not true" or "not what we belive"

For a good understanding of what Islam teaches visit http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/

This is what has been allowed into our once peaceful country, all the bigotry and hatred of the Middle East right in our own backyard. Happy, Paul Keating and Malcolm Fraser? May you both burn in hell.

Bomb threat to Arabic newspaper

http://www.smh.com.au/news/national/bomb-threat-to-arabic-newspaper/2007/01/24/1169518718734.html

AN ARABIC newspaper in Sydney says it fears its office will be blown up after a man claiming to represent al-Qaeda in Australia left a threatening telephone message.

The man was apparently reading from a script when he left the message for the editor-in-chief of al-Furat, Hussein Khoshnow, 10 days ago. ASIO and the police are investigating the message....

"Every Iraqi Kurd and Shiite in Australia will be butchered."
