Ok now gentlemen - enough is enough. We don't need tit for tat opinion pieces on OLO.

All groups and individuals who use the motif of multiculturalism and interfaith dialogue do so for reasons of self interest,multiculturalism is nothing but an ethnic spoils system in which the state doles out privilege to the "squeaky wheels" in exchange for support from these ethnocentric groups.

AIJAC is no more interested in the rights of other Australians than are the Islamic Research and Educational Academy or Catch The Fire Ministries and the AIJAC activists named above have to the best of my knowledge only ever taken action in defence of their own people.
What's more in addition to suppressing the voices of radical Islam they've been consistently opposed to any activism by Australian Ethno Nationalists or Civic Nationalists such as One Nation, the League Of Rights and Australia First.

With regard to Geert Wilders are we all so naive to think that if AIJAC had genuinely opposed his visit that they could not have had it stopped by pressuring or blackmailing the government? Mr Rubenstein can take the comment as he likes but my point here is that a government which relies on mutual aid from ethnocentric groups is open to pressure tactics, it's not really the case that other Australians see groups like AIJAC as powerful in their own right more that politicians are weak and compromised and will panic as soon as anyone from the Jewish community stamps their foot or raises their voice.
Nobody from the "Far Right" wanted Wilders here either because he's a charlatan but since they have no access to the government and it's media they couldn't make their views known outside the internet, if they'd had those privileges I'm sure they would not have hesitated in using them.
I'm accusing AIJAC and the other ethnocentric advocacy groups of playing coy about their influence over government, we see the nod and the wink and from the outside it appears smug and churlish.
Could a bona fide White Nationalist like David Duke or a Neo Nazi such as David Irving get a visa to visit this country?

Maybe you should think about why the overwhelming majority of the community want nothing to do with the far right.

Maybe people like David Jennings need to think about why the overwhelming majority of the COUNTRY do NOT want Ali Kazak or his like minded brethren in our midst?

Kazak and Rubenstein exchange conflicting views and swap so-called evidence to support their extreme positions. Few onlookers are any the wiser or give a stuff.

Both men show clearly why religion should be banned. They both live in a world deranged by their extreme beliefs for which there is no evidence. None. Not a shred!

Why is much of the world still locked into a superstitious, religious mindset? The Catholic Church has just elected a mere mortal to be Pope. Pope Francis is just a flawed human like all of us. He is not God's representative on Earth. God doesn't exist!

There is no evidence that any of the claims made by religious institutions is true. There is strong evidence that conflict between religions causes division and endless conflict across the world and has done for centuries.

So Colin and Ali and Pope Francis and all other fraudulent clerics, why don't you move off the world stage and allow realists and humanists to run the show?

I think most Australians don't have a problem with Muslims. Its just the people who aren't doing well and who want someone to blame that dont want people like Ali in the country. At any rate, MSN don't conflate your views with that of the populace.

You know, there are some good aspects of Sharia law that we could adopt.
