you speak the truth.

Multiculuralism was never defensible, but was inflicted on us by a Liberal Prime Minister who should have known better.

It has now done sufficient constant and unremitting damage, to us, over all the years since its implementation, to enable a hearing to be given to those who denounce it, and an acceptance of the fact that it is an abysmal failure.

Trendies, like Alice, still attempt to mindlessly defend it, when there is no possible basis upon which to justify such an imposition on our society.

Alice, I feel offended on your behalf that some of the 'people' on this thread are attacking you for your ethnic and/or religious background rather than for what you've said. Yet, if Divine MSN does indeed give you a hundred bucks you might as well keep it. Frankly, you're entitled to a bit of compensation for abuse.

Alice, I have no doubt about your good intentions; but please do not be blinded by slogans like"islamophobia", and carefully consider the objections raised against multiculturalism.These are not the arguments of redneck bigots. Leslie

David,

I have looked at all the comments on this thread fairly carefully but I can't find any comment which has a go at Alice personally on ethnic or religious grounds. If a body of religious dogma supports inequitable or repugnant practices and someone says so, that is hardly attacking someone else, even one of its adherents - it's simply criticising the body of dogma.

Maybe Islam needs precisely that, just as much as any other religious dogma - a sustained critique based on equal rights for women in a modern society. Perhaps you may say, this is not fair to Islam - after all, it is not a body of dogma which is consonant with anything in the modern world, but an outgrowth of desert tribalism, in which women have a grossly inferior place. That may be true, but I don't think Australian social or political life should be dragged backwards just to accommodate such dogmas or ideologies.

Alice & many of her supporters are forgetting some "inconvenient truths".

People denigrating multiculturalism have NOT been coming only from the "right", many old lefties have also come out of the wood work to admit they were wrong for promoting it. Have also stated publicly that it has been a failure & they regret it all.

Don't forget it was just another part of the PC, Thought Police plan to destroy our culture with among other things bottonless pits of guilt for attempting to do the "right" thing.

The INtolerant liberals have been guilt tripping us for about half a century now & some just don't want to stop denigrating western, white, British, Eurpoean, protestant christian, democratic culture.
