By Keysar Trad, published 23/2/2012The great irony is that we demonise the latest minority to the point that some of them become self-loathing.

We see through this stuff by now, using the language and weapons of the left while in a position of weakness. No one believes there is any intrinsic affinity at all between them and Islam.
http://unqualified-reservations.blogspot.com.au/2009/01/gentle-introduction-to-unqualified.html "In short: intellectuals cluster to the left, generally adopting as a social norm the principle of pas d'ennemis a gauche, pas d'amis a droit, because like everyone else they are drawn to power. The left is chaos and anarchy, and the more anarchy you have, the more power there is to go around. The more orderly a system is, the fewer people get to issue orders." And a Christian culture is orderly and self ruling. Unhelpful to Power and the left. http://downloads.frc.org/EF/EF09H36.pdf So, to criticise the Cathedral's (state- uni.intellectual atheocracy) culture war is to DEMONISE "deploying the old principle of 'this animal (any push back against the left) is very dangerous; when attacked, it defends itself.' The progressive is always the underdog in his own mind. Yet, in objective reality, he always seems to win in the end." I don't blame the author for using the tactics of the Cathedral for his own ends, muslims are useful at present in its project of fragmentation – but can muslims play the game with the left? Who is playing who? Fascinating to watch. Posted by Martin Ibn Warriq, Thursday, 23 February 2012 9:25:51 AM

While I applaud the sentiments of the writer, I have a problem with multiculturalism in that most of the time the so-called ‘culture’ is in reality religion, and religions are notoriously unsympathetic to dissidents. Within every religious culture there exists a body of persecuted dissidents whose self respect is diminished by the ‘culture’ we are urged to respect.
The author achieved a certain notoriety in this regard for his intolerant attitude to people who are born same sex oriented. He would have more credibility if he espoused the notion of individual rights, in which individuals are respected and feel free to choose those aspects of their culture that fit them, and reject others.

Multiculturalism is OK except when Islam comes into the picture. Even when they are a sizable minority, they will begin to impose their superstitions within their neighbourhood on non-Muslims as they currently do in the UK.
Zakir Naik is a Muslim apologist. Below is a documentary evidence about the hypocrisy of Naik telling you Islam is a tolerant religion. To the non-Muslims they will say one thing but when they are among Muslims you know they speak the truth about Islam http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=xHRaNE2XXVk#!

My problem is definitely with Islamic immigration. Why would muslims come to a democratic, secular society based on christian beliefs? There must be 30 or 40 Islamic countries they could go to. It seems many muslims don't even like Australia and want to change it. They have much higher rates of unemployment and incarceration and on average poorer aducation outcomes.
The simple fact is they make very poor migrants. apart from genuine cases of political persecution (maybe 5% of cases) I can't see any reason why we would allow musilm immigration. "Hardly a syllable is remembered about how we acquired this paradise and how we treated and how we continue to treat its indigenous population." You mean like preferential treatment for jobs and housing. Extra payment for study, cheap home loans and all that? Posted by dane, Thursday, 23 February 2012 5:07:18 PM

thanks for the link Phillip but don't forget that lying is compatible with Islam when its suits their cause. They have this in common with secular humanism hence their hatred for Christianity.

...You touch on the problem of ethnicity here and there, but fail to connect the dots ….The problem of Multiculturalism is the political “idiom” it has become, (per se)
...When we the locals are fed intravenously, by a constant drip of notional tripe claiming the economic imperatives of Multiculturalism, proffered from the upper echelons of Politics, in support of Multiculturalism; which serves political imperative only, and ignores the downsides; then Multiculturalism simply falls into the basket case of "idiom".
...But fortunately, latest figures suggest a two thirds ratio of immigration over emigration: 130 thousand immigrations to 90 thousand emigrations. Things are looking-up
