Loudmouth,

The article didn't mention terrorism. Terrorists don't deserve tolerance; they deserve the full penalty of the law. The problem is a lot of people have started assuming that refugees might be terrorists and therefore don't deserve tolerance.

Jayb,

The situation you describe does not apply in most countries where the majority are muslims. And those who want to live in a theocracy would not migrate to Australia.

But it's safe to say muslims will never become the majority. Most of the world's population are not muslims. And contrary to popular belief, not everyone born a muslim stays one of the rest of their life.

Hasbeen and Armchair,

We should tolerate everyone and expect likewise from them. But everyone should have a right to decide their own culture.

AC: If I say that people need to assimilate into the country they are coming into and that we shouldn't have to assimilate into the country they are coming from, suddenly I'm the racist, and the bigot and being discriminatory.

This whole stupid line of thought seeks to shift the blame and responsibility from the people who cause the problems onto the people who did not cause the problems and its all backwards bs.

Your Comment here would get you banned from "The Conversation" immediately.

"Now, the Golden Rule children, of OLO,"

is be nice to Bomb Belt Bambi!

Hey JayB,
Same with 'Independent Australia'.
I posted two comments on there the first time ever a few weeks back and they were both removed, then I was banned.
Independent alright.
'Independent' of anyone's thoughts and opinions that do not align with their own...
They may as well just drive around in a car with a loudspeaker on the roof for as much real discussion there actually is.
And then after complete censoring of the site they would go ahead and falsely claim (as an example) that it represents the true thoughts and opinions of the Australian people, in an attempt to further steer us in the direction they want us to go.

And they claim to represent the 'liberal' point of view.
They are so full of.. it.

Its such a sham.
They tell us what to think, and then claim its what we think.

It makes me so more appreciative of this website, at least I can have my say... for now.
I'm not sure how much longer websites like this will exist.
They will make some new rules and regulations that place the responsibility for content onto the site owner and he'll be forced out, so that we only use politically correct sites that automatically censor and remove unfavorable content.
Such a sad state of affairs the world is in.

Aidan: But everyone should have a right to decide their own culture.

Even if it's moving to a new Country, not accepting their Culture, demanding that the Host Country change their Culture to suit them or they'll Rape, Pillage & Murder anyone who doesn't agree.

Europe? Anyone?

Australia next? maybe, seeing we are the 3rd most likely to be blown to bits by a local, suddenly not so friendly tolerant moslem. As reported in todays papers.

Aaah! don't you just love Tolerance if it's just to appease some folk who aren't.

No Aidan everyone should not tolerate everyone. Only those who show a suitable respect for the culture of their adopted country should be tolerated, the rest should be chucked out.

"Everyone should have a right to decide their own culture", Aiden. Yes I agree, but only in their own country of birth. If they wish to leave that country of birth, then they have no longer any right to that countries culture. They most definitely do not have any right to import any of their old countries culture to any adopted country, or country of refuge.

This is exactly the problem with Muslim migration. The culture of their own country is totally dysfunctional, & not worthy of continued existence. Only idiots would let anyone import such trouble to their country.
