Supporting diversity without fear : Comments
By Kay Stroud, published 3/6/2016Just as the broader community is beginning to question stereotypes and think differently about ethnicity, culture, faith, race, nationality, skin colour, age, sexuality and gender, spiritual carers are also challenged by new paradigms.

“Where do you get your information on what words are used in non white or Muslim communities?”, asks david f.
The information that white women who did not cover up like muslims were like “cats meat” came from media in our own community who reported what an muslim imam said after the rape of white women by muslims in our own community. Where is this white community in which we are supposed to live, david f?The community in which I reside has a proliferation of non-whites and muslims.Where do you live?

Dear Leo Lane,
I live a little bit north of Brisbane in a suburb called Cashmere. However, to know how non-whites and Muslims talk it is not enough to live near them it is either necessary to be part of their community or have entre to their community. Media emphasise what they want to emphasise which is not necessarily how the average person in the community talks. The imam who made that remark you cited is a foreign import. He did not grow up in Australia and probably does not know Australian ways. Presumably some of the younger Muslims are not like that. It does not help for young Muslims to have separate schools financed by the government. The ideal would be for Australians of different backgrounds to be together in public schools.

david f says:“ to know how non-whites and Muslims talk it is not enough to live near them it is either necessary to be part of their community or have entre to their community. “.
It is certain that they would conceal a lot of any negative attitude they had, from you, and media reports are the closest you will get, without undercover reports. Muslims form enclaves, and their religion is hostile to any who have a different religion, or are not part of islam. We do not have, and have never had, a “white” community. The white Australia policy was far from achieving this objective when it was dismantled. Observation of the non-whites and muslims informs us of their attitudes. There is a high proportion of muslims serving prison time.In NSW the muslim population is 3%, with prison population comprising 9% muslim. http://www.theaustralian.com.au/in-depth/community-under-siege/muslim-jailhouse-converts-on-the-rise/news-story/641a2d8372fb45383fd7de4a8a97d879 We do not need or want this diversity.

no more likely Alan B another Christian bashing tirade. The so called progressives will turn it into a promotion for perversion and a tirade against anyone with medical science on their side.
