Hate to be the bearer of bad tiddings for you folks, however as much as you'd like to pretend it's not happening, the FACT is, there ARE many Middle Eastern people within Australia who DO NOT IN ANY WAY, feel they are obliged to follow and adhere to our laws.
It was not too long ago, we were all shocked to hear of thr multiple rap cases in Sydney and the shocking treatment handed out to the poor women involved by the perpetrators, WHO STILL CLAIM TO THIS DAY, they are innocent.
Many of these people came to Australia during the War in Lebanon, their parents were obviously very pleased to find safe refuge and chose to stay on, in our great land, however it would appear, they failed to instil any appreciation in their youth for the country which allowed them refuge and provided them with all the neccessities of survival.
Considerable number of these people have also chosen to REMAIN LEGAL CITIZENS of their homeland and enjoy MULTIPLE Citizenry.
Thus they can choose at anytime, to turn their backs on our country and align themselves with their homeland.
Notice also, I refer to their "HOMELAND". They DO NOT REFER TO AUSTRALIA, as their homeland, that's reserved for the land of their ancestors.
So straight away, we detect racial differences being practiced by these people, right from the get go, they look down their noses at us, and snear at us for our ways, at the same time, taking advantage of our generous nature.
What's happened in Sydney this week is something that WAS going to happen, eventually, the kettle's boiling away madly, Australians are fed up with being terrorised and brutalised by these ungrateful interlopers. I strongly believe, we are going to MUCH MORE of this behaviour in the very near future, Australia is becoming very polarised and tensions are going to rise to the surface looking for an escape route.
Mark my words, we haven't seen the last of this in a long shot.

Great posts striker - I wish more here saw it the same way you do!

The CORE of the problem ?

Well a Muslim counsellor from Lakemba on TV 2night, said it all.

Quote
"They (the Leb Muslims) think they are superior to the anglos and they also hate the west"

Not from a Christian, not from a Redneck, not from one of Irfan's whackos or Loony's..but from a MUSLIM youth counsellor in Lakemba on National TV.

I suppose that ties in with the shouts of "We are going to F*CK your mothers" screamed out by a car load of Lebs to a cameraman.

Most of the Aussies don't even know what they are on about in my opinion, they are struggling for some kind of reclaimed identity as well, which has been steadily eroded by a combination of Multi-cultural idiocy and a lot of booze and pot.

Is it any wonder I call on all of us to reconcile first with God, through Christ and then we can reconcile with our fellow man.

itchyvet, your assertion that "Considerable number of these [Lebanese] people have also chosen to REMAIN LEGAL CITIZENS of their homeland... Thus they can choose at anytime, to turn their backs on our country and align themselves with their homeland", is absolute rubbish - there is no evidence to support such a claim.

According to the Dept of Immigration "97 per cent of the eligible Lebanese community becoming citizens". http://www.minister.immi.gov.au/cam/media/media-releases/medrel05/jc05061.htm

97 per cent itchyvet. Your lies sicken me.

Beware the capitals. If there were a "green ink" option, he'd use it. But beware the furphies more.

Itchyvet, until 1984, you and I enjoyed a multiple citizenry of sorts, as Australian citizens and British subjects. Did that make us less Australian? Would you want to keep your Australian citizenship if you lived in say, Iceland, and had the option of dual citizenship? Bet you would. And I bet you'd still call Australia home. Which is what my grandmothers on both sides called England. Never set foot in the place, either of them. And one of them was descended from Irish immigrants.

From your chosen name, I assume you are ex-Armed Forces. Did you like war enough to want to incite a civil one? I hope you didn't, and don't.

Striker,

You're not alone, not at all. Keep thinking. You're obviously good at it. And keep posting. Many of us oldies worry that you young uns have lost interest. Wonderful to hear you. Or see you. Or whatever.
