grateful: Muslims are not Australian in your eyes and don't belong here.

Pilgrim is completely right. Islam is not right or good for Australia. It will not ever fit into Australian Society, as it Shuns Australian Society & demands Australia become Islamic & end up like the Middle East.

Grateful: the Charter guarantees its citizens (most of whom were non-Muslims at the time) freedom of religion, consultative government, and equality before the law.

But it does not deliver, if fact Islam does the exact opposite. Islam is bent on destroying all other Religions & their adherents with out mercy.

Grateful: I noticed you have not disassociated yourself from those who would advocate the need (if not the practicality) of deportation.

I definitely support the deportation of moslems even if the people ancestors have been here for 250 years. Much too dangerous a Theocracy for Australia.

Bazz: I also agree with the author, just pull away from the middle east and let it dissolve away. Probably the kindest thing anyone can do.

I agree Bazz. Send the Moslems all back to the Middle East & seal the Borders. Let no-one out & accept no moslem into any Western Country.

Runner, I missed your post of 8 December, it was only recently brought to my attention. As a consequence I apologise for not replying sooner as it deserved a response. When you say in your post: “I don't think anyone in their right mind thinks deporting all muslims is a viable option nor would most want that.”, I agree, because that was the intent of my comment – albeit with rather heavy irony which I can now see has completely escaped our mutual friend grateful.

As to the second part of your post: “What is viable is to learn from our mistakes and minimise the risk by accepting refugees and others who are thankful for refuge and who don't hate western people who are not muslims.”; A fair comment which does'nt thereby make either of us a racist or Islamaphobic.

"Pilgrim is completely right. Islam is not right or good for Australia..."

Jayab I am sorry to disillusion you, but I did not say that, nor did I imply that. If you still think so, then you also have misunderstood the thrust of my comments. At all relevant times I was quoting the Author in the attempt to tease out her argument. As far as I can see, the Author most certainly did imply that "Islam is not right or good for Australia...".

The tenor of my comments was directed to what might flow from the Author's final conclusion: that being the proposed "abrogation" of violence by the Muslim hierarchy in Australia.

Lol.
Not an intelligent conversation in sight.

pilgrim: but I did not say that, nor did I imply that.

Then my apologies though I still contend that Islam is not right or good for Australia.

pilgrim: the Author's final conclusion: that being the proposed "abrogation" of violence by the Muslim hierarchy in Australia.

That will never happen.

Grateful: Not an intelligent conversation in sight.

We never ever get an intelligent conversation from you..., only deflection. So when are you leaving. Will you be taking you other friends on here with you, or have they already left for the Middle East.

Jayb: Then my apologies though I still contend that Islam is not right or good for Australia.

I beg to differ. I think if people of different faiths/non-faiths engage in a practical manner and focus on addressing society's problems, then Australia has much to gain from the teachings and practice of Islam

Jayb: "So when are you leaving. Will you be taking you other friends on here with you, or have they already left for the Middle East."

And if we don't go?
