ms malaise , you hit the nail on the head . We must get rid of all the relgious extremists - christian , jew or muslim - Australians [and most of the world] don't want them, THEIR STRICT AND ARCHAIC RELIGIOUS FAITHS have, and will just cause more UNECESSARY UGLY PROBLEMS, we can live happily forever without them.

kartiya,
I see you suggest to get rid of the Jews, Muslim, Christian. I ask how do you intend to get rid of them? With hydrogen peroxide, asetone etc, could we have more information where you live as you may qualify under the new terrorist laws. Instead of propagating an agenda of violence I suggest you modify your language. How are you intending to change society to get rid of them?

Philo , whoops , i had better rephrase with your own words on Aug 7th ,"isolate ,educate or remove" . Now how are you going to do that??

kartiya,
My vision was: Unskilled migrants or with no English speaking skills should spend at least 6 months in special accomodation centres until they learn the language and adapt to the Australian culture. This both isolates and educates. If they are not able to learn the language or adapt to life in Australia, they should be removed to a society into which they can assimilate.

I note you want to remove people on religious grounds from society. I ask to where? How? Jews to Israel I suppose, Muslims to Middle East, and Christians to Europe. So you want to go back 250 years to a former time? Or do you mean eradicate Jews like Hitler, Christians and Muslims like USSR tried? I suggest you might run an opinion poll first to gain popular support for your eradication programme.

Sneekepete - which planet are you on?

I agree with John Stone - and hopefully something shall be done by this incompetent ethically poor federal government.

We are used laughed and sneered at by migrants in our midst.

WHen I am told of a woman who has lived 67 years in Lakemba area who went into a local Muslim shop and was ordered out by the owner because "you don't belong here"? let alone the horrific crime and violence introduced into this country by Asian and Lebanese.

The welfare system that our predecessors and ourselves have paid for is seen as a right by these people, the way of life that our Fathers fought for being destroyed. I sit in my car at Sydney Town Hall and wonder whether I am in Asia (where my son lives)as I observe the mostly asian people crossing the road and circulating in the area. Many times when back in my hometown of Sydney I wonder whether I am the minority race.

I go into a post office and it is staffed mainly by Indians and Asians who are abrupt in manner and again am reminded of the loss of Australian "life" in OUR Country.

I am deeply, deeply saddened by what I see in Australia over the last 20 years and the poor standard of Politicians - federal and state that mismanage what was once a great country with so much potential.

Been reading this thread with great interest, as a newcomer.

Let me state, at the outset I am a christian who takes the Bible seriously and studies it continually, to glean from it Christ's teachings on the way of peace.

Sadly, the history of teh christian church is neither guiltless or bloodless. I subscribe to "One Mediator Between God and Man - Christ Jesus," not the Pope or the GURU or the Imam. At the same time I do not attempt to force my beliefs upon others, though I frequently have all kinds of other beliefs forced upon me - JW, LDS, Aetheists, Agnostics, Communists, Socialists, Neo Nazis, racists etc.

I agree, we Aussies are all "immigrants" to this land, even our Indigenous cultures have comoe form "overseas." I have worked extensively with Aboriginal communities across this land, my eldest daughter is deeply involved, today, in drug & alchol rehabilitation up in Arnhem Land. racism against these people, indeed any foreign cultures, is to me repugnant. I hate IT with a passion.

I also apppreciate deeply being born in this country to second generation immigrants from Nazism's First Reich(Kaiser Wilhem I - 1834) and Russian Czarist Progroms (1860-1880). I also applaud the right for very citizen of this country to express their views irrespective of that view. Thank God people can, that way we can dialogue with them, hopefully moderating extremisms of all kinds - pro and anti-multiculturalism or whatever.

I guess what I am trying to say here is we NEED to debate these issues and look at contingency plans - which means looking at "best case" and "worst case" scenarios, and all in between. This is surely not Racism?

If it is not, why then, the vitriol and name-calling? C'mon folks! We can do better, eh?
