Dear Rhys Jones,

Mate, a lot of countries face up to their past and deal with it rather than keep colonisation fairy tails going.

We are getting there ourselves however there will people who seemingly will need to resist such reckoning and keep the lie going.

That's fine, but they shouldn't crack the sads when people see it for what it is.

I am inclined to the view that, at least in the short term, having different cultures living together is the cause of much unrest.
Instinct is front and centre here.
There is frequent intolerance of the other person's view?
And it is not only the culture itself, but what is embedded in it.
I don't want to be too specific about this: I might tread on toes.
Darwin didn't hesitate to call a spade a spade, but he didn't live with political correctness.
Shall I just say that I was 'brought up' in a religious household.
Then observation and cogitation made me aware of the natural truth around me.
Truth which is alive, and in abundance.
Religious thoughts disappeared like dead and dried up bushes in a strong wind.
My mental landscape became clear, smooth, and untroubled.
I was suddenly relaxed, and far more understanding and accepting of difference.
Even though I listen to other points of view, I leave plenty of room in my head for my own thoughts.
I don't want to live somebody else's life.
And by the way, we all discriminate every day, in a multitude of ways.
It is only when this causes unreasonable disadvantage to another person that we can say there is a problem.

"A Muslim", my dear Bernie Sanders, is not just a person with a particular religious belief, because Islam is not just a religion, it is a complete social, legal, and political system. This system's cultural values are diametrically opposed to, and incompatible with, that of a western liberal democracy. How could we have been so stupid as to import into Australia, one of the world's oldest democracies, a religion who's "moderate" clergy seek exemptions for Muslims from compulsory voting because democracy is "unislamic"? Or import into Australia a religion who's "moderate" clergy openly preach that apostates from Islam, and homosexuals, should be murdered?

Your premise that it is only a matter of time before Muslims integrate into Australian society is more a matter for hilarity than serious contemplation. Islam never integrates, it always seeks to dominate. If it can not dominate an entire country it will create local enclaves then drive out the infidels until all within are Muslims. Then it demands Sharia Law within this supposed "Muslim" area. This is already happening in Europe.

In the Muslim wish to never integrate, they are being aided by traitorous left wing governments who seek the Muslim vote while preaching Multiculturalism. Multiculturalism means, live in Australia but pretend that you are still living in some Muslim sheethole and keep the Muslim cultural values which made it a sheethole in the first place. Muslims are also aided in this behaviour by left wing governments who never tire of dumping on their own people and culture with all sorts of racist allegations (like the so called "stolen generations" propaganda) which depict the entire white race as genocidal land thieving baby stealers.

Even if your claim that it is only a matter of time before Muslims integrate was true, (which it is not), how many Australian lives and raped girls do you intend to sacrifice on the alter of multiculturalism in your quixotic quest to attain your supposed race blind utopia? A utopia where Mohammad and his four child brides live in perfect harmony with Nigel and Oscar, the homosexual couple who live next door?

First, a Muslim is a person with particular religious views and people from any race can and do believe in Islam.
Bernie Masters,
Sounds to me like you haven't the slightest clue or, you're a Muslim !

It's arguments such as this one that would warrant bringing in a 4"Idi Amin or Ghengis Khan !

What we have is yet another sanctimonious snowflake not contented at getting offended at people today spending his time trawling through history in search of something new to get outraged at.

Charles Darwin's epic formulation of the theory of evolution was a scientific endeavour that changed the world. That Darwin could compare the competition between species to that between peoples at the time would be entirely logical.

The point that Darwin never claimed that one set of people should destroy another, only that they probably would. That Darwin was entirely correct is probably the greatest source of annoyance to this pinhead.

The Christian Darwin suggesting that these people were savages based on some of their practices incl cannibalism, infanticide etc was pretty much standard in that era, as would, for example, any Maori killing and eating a rival today.

I would suggest that Andrew pull the stick out of his backside.
