Peace loving Australian Muslims deserve a ‘fair go’! : Comments

By Aqeel Choudhry, published 24/12/2015

The peaceful, loyal and law-abiding Australian Muslims deserve a 'fair go'. The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community is a perfect example as victim of this over generalisation.

Hi Is Mise,

And it didn't stop there: at one time in the NT, most of the non-Indigenous population would have been Chinese. Similarly, around Broome and Cooktown.

When I was working on the correspondence of the Protector of Aborigines here in SA, I was surprised at how many Africans, African-Americans and West Indians seemed to have married into Aboriginal families. One Afro-American bloke named Campbell tried to set up a fishing business with Aboriginal people on lake Alexandrina in about 1860. Another bloke from Mauritius married an Aboriginal woman and claimed rations for some years.

Women too: An Afro-American woman and a West Indian woman married Aboriginal men around Adelaide. Another woman, described as West Indian 'Creole' - which, in the 1860s-70s may have meant Afro-American, not just 'West-Indian-born' - married an Aboriginal bloke on the Murray.

And of course, Chinese: there seems to have been at least four in SA who married Aboriginal women. A couple of Jewish men married Aboriginal women in SA in the nineteenth century, and Germans as well: one of the grand-daughters of one of the Chinese blokes married a German bloke around Port Pirie. And marriages between Afghan men and Aboriginal women have been common since the year Dot.

And of course, since the War, many marriages of Aboriginal people here in SA have been with people from a very wide range of non-Anglo origin: Poles, Greeks, Italians, Fijian Indians, Maltese. So it's no wonder that some of the young women of today are quite beautiful, inheriting the best of all of their ancestries, as Darwin would suggest.

Dear Is Mise,

There of course in our history books you get -
"First Fleet arrived. It brought 1000 English
convicts." It didn't. It brought 1000 convicts
but probably they came from a dozen different
countries. As somebody put it so well,
"English jails were no respecters of nationality."

The First Italian arrived in January 26 1788,
Giuseppe Tuso. There were people from South Africa,
there were people from Ceylon, from India,
from Spain, from Portugal, from Hungary.

So people say, "Do you believe Australia should
become a multi-cultural society?"

My reply is "It doesn't matter what any of us think.
It's what it is - which is a country of tremendous
diversity."

Foxy: Australia's immigration experience is also a broad one
Originally it was an Anglo-Celtic but after the war our immigrants came increasingly from various parts of Europe,

But Caucasian & Christian.

Foxy: In more recent times, this changed again. And all these immigrant communities have made successful contributions to Australian life.

But mainly Asian, Buddhist & Hindu.

Strangely, there have never Security issues with these people. All the previous immigrants adapted & embraced Australian life with gusto, grateful to be in a free & safe Country.

Now we are saving Middle Easterners, Islam. Suddenly there is a serious heightened Security problem in Australia. Australia is no longer a safe Country.

Middle Easterners are offended by our lifestyle & demand that Australian change to suit their sensitivities. A problem Australian never had with previous immigrants.

The Middle Easterners are aggressively intolerant of all other Cultures & Lifestyles. From a Politically Correct point of view, Islam is, anti everything every Feminist has ever fought for. It seems that the very people that that push the equality & Feminist Barrow are in favour of destroying the very gain they made, in the name of Political Correctness.

The Feminists, Left, Politically Correct & Do-Gooders are hell-bent on destroying themselves & the rest of us with them, for the sake of their ever changing ethereal ideal.

Every value the FLPCDG'S fought for & won is abhorrent to Middle Easterners. Why would the FLPCDG's fight for the very Culture that will destroy them? I really don't understand that.

JayB, you forgot to use the word 'some' in front of the words 'Middle Easterners' in your predictable post above.
Otherwise, all your rants in that post would be a lie...

Poor ol' Suse,

Talks a great game, but when it comes to the crunch, she runs like a scalded cat.

Still waiting (days now) for Suse to tell us what it is she admires about Islam.

Is it the genital mutilation of young girls, marriage of first cousins, the mindless violence from the followers of the "Religion of Peace"? The intolerance of any other religion? The subjugation of women? The murder of gays? The mutilation of petty criminals? The stoning of females accused of adultery?

Or is it the Islamists' sense of entitlement? The economic invasion of Europe, mainly by young Muslim men, is a case in point. This year it will cost Germany $28 billion to carry the million-plus invaders.

That's a transfer of $28 billion from German citizens who have built up capital over centuries by their hard work and taxes. Now the invaders just demand it be handed over to them.

Open question, Suse. Tell us in your own words.

And don't forget the FGM.

I have no further wish to argue.

I've stated quite clearly our country's past
history - how our country has changed in the last
decades and what we need to do about it.

You can't bring back the past - but you can plan
for the future. Social cohesion is extremely
important.

I am getting fed up with people who simply refuse
to see what our Governments have seen and the
positive policy programs that we have in place.

You may not agree with any of it - but most
intelligent Australians do.
