Dear Killarney, I can only shake my head in pitying wonder at your implication that the USA causes all of the trouble in the world, and all of the refugees.

In 1979, the three main political rivals in Iran were the Shah, the Communists, and mullahs. All were brutal, but at least the Shah tried to modernise Iran and turn it into a secular, European style state. Which is why the USA supported the Shah. The reason why the USA supports some dictators is because the alternative is usually a lot worse. After the mullahs won, who were a lot worse, the firing squads were busy shooting everybody who opposed the mullahs. Iran went backwards into the future. With Iran a mullah controlled basket case, Iraq took the opportunity invaded Iran and hundreds of thousands died. How you figure it is the USA's fault is beyond me.

Islam is a dangerous and violent religion. All Islamic countries are violent, intolerant and dysfunctional. The more Islamic they are, the more violent, intolerant and dysfunctional they are. The reason why the USA can make no headway in the Islamic world is because the yanks think like you do. They think that Muslims want the same things that we do. They think that the Muslims all want to live in peace and harmony with their neighbours, and to advance their societies into modern prosperous states, then enjoy their lives. As Kennedy once said "we all breath he same air, we all want what is best for our children."

But Muslims have a different take on what is good for their children than Kennedy. Muslims think that allowing one of their many sons to die for Islam, which then allows the whole family of the Jihadi to go to heaven and get everlasting life, beats mortal life every time. But if they can go to an infidel country and get the infidels to keep them while they colonise the infidel country for Islam, so much the better.

50% of Muslims in Europe are on the dole.

Multiculturism is a dismal failure.
The Moslems have been preaching against it for 1400 years.
They simply do not want it, they just want a monoculture just so long as it is Islamic !

Lego said;

Moslem men that would be, mostly their wives are not let out.
Many would be unemployable except in the drug trade.
Being the sons of cousins a large percentage would not be able to hold
down a demanding job.
That probably explains why the Middle East is such a mess.
Likewise Lakemba.

Ponder –
You ask “who among us is so perfect so as to be above any kind of racism?”
Yet from your post it seems that you believe at least your Chinese wife is ‘so perfect’, among perhaps many others of ethnic descent.

I only say this because you make a point to mention how your “Chinese wife suffered racial hatred . . . when she arrived here . . . twenty years ago”, as if to imply by default that her “Chinese family/parents” had no such imperfections of racial hesitation when their daughter told them she would be marrying and even inter-breeding with a non-Chinese man, namely a white man.
However in my experience it is usually the non-western family side which has the most trouble accepting the inter-mixing of races, not the Anglo side. For example my uncle married a women born in Australia from a Chinese father and white Australian mother and still her father despises him for being first “white” even though white was good enough for him, and second a regular man [i.e. not wealthy or in business oriented world]. In the same half Asian-half white family the brother married a Greek women recently and this time the Greek family of the women had racist issues to overcome but on religious/cultural issues for the wedding they would not budge and their wedding was Greek Orthodox totally ignoring the man’s heritage and beliefs.

Take the stats from above article-
“According to the 2006 Australian Census, a majority of Indigenous Australians partnered with non-indigenous Australians, and a majority of third generation Australians of non-English-speaking background had partnered with persons of a different ethnic origin (the majority partnered with persons of Australian or Anglo-Celtic background)”

[What does this statistic clearly indicate? Obviously it shows that the ethnic group most flexible and willing to marry and breed with races/cultures outside their own tribe, is the white Anglo Australians” almost entirely in their own class of willingness to intermix beyond any other ethnic group by light-years]

What is here told of racism and its likely prevalence in different ethnic groups.
