JOM: Jayb, Well you'd be wrong, the scientist in that video explains that environmental factors cease to be important after puberty and you're sitting right in the middle of a society which disproves your other point.

I Was using extreme examples. Yes, there is a lot of in-between.

Have a Happy New Year everyone, all the best for the coming year.

We'll be back next year with our differing opinions, agreements & ideas. The best of all is that we can have that freedom.

Luv ya all.

Usually it is a few bad apples make it hard for the majority. Unfortunately as silence is accent and it is truly deafening; it is a few good apples making it easy for the majority.

Gee Is Mise, your 'Muslim friends' but be very good friends indeed to admit to you that they have no choice but to follow Muslim extremists! Surely you should report them to the relevant authorities if that is the case?

I know several Muslim families, and none have ever said anything like that to me or our other friends. They just seem to live the same sort of lives as anyone else I know, except they go to the Mosque on Fridays to pray, and also lay down their prayer mats to pray at home during the day.

Certainly they are as upset about any terrorist atrocities as anyone else, and often say how thankful they are living here, as opposed to any of the war-torn countries of the world. They are just human beings living their lives peacefully, as I am.

Is mis, and there in lies the problem, these Muslims, who came here supposedly for a better life, brought their baggage with them. If they wanted a better life, surely common sense would have suggested they leave behind what caused them to leave their homeland in the first place. Islam.

Now if common sense didn't, then surely common courtesy toward all who live here in their new country as to bring with them the very thing that ruined their country is not only irresponsible, but quite disrespectful I would say, especially given what we here in Australia had to offer newcomers.

The fact is, Muslims are not the problem, Islam is the problem and I say this because both so called moderate Muslims and extremists both draw from it. It should have been left behind when they chose a new life in a new country.

SOL: They are just human beings living their lives peacefully, as I am.

Until the demand something stop because it offends their Religion or someone offends Mohammad. Suddenly they turn Terrorist. It doesn't take much & the more of them the less it will take. Europe is a good example of that.

recthub: I say this because both so called moderate Muslims and extremists both draw from it.

Just to reiterate once again;

As all the great learned moslem Imams & even the President of Turkey has said, "There are no Moderate moslems there are only moslems. To say one is a moderate moslem is an insult to Islam."
