By Joseph Wakim, published 20/12/2005

Joseph Wakim argues the more Lebanese youths are demonised, the more they are driven to the margins of Australian society.

Matthew S., you obviously haven't been reading the opinion pages of the Australian newspaper recently.

The Australian Wild West where guns capture territory. How are the children of this school going to feel about those Muslim youth? Will they demonise them?

By J. Grant Swank, Jr.
Dec 15, 2005 - The Post Chronicle(tm) Commentary
"Here. Read this and weep: "The only thing I am worried about is that it's going to further play on the minds of young Australian Muslims, particularly of Lebanese origin. It's going to lower the morale which has already been lowered. They are young Australians who don't have a sense of belonging..."

That was told to the media by the head of the Islamic Friendship Association of Australia, Keysar Trad, after the ruckus in recent days.

Is there any bleeding heart on his behalf for the Muslim bullets that tore into Australian worshipers' automobiles as the latter were singing Christmas carols in the sanctuary. The archbishop and staff of the Christian school were aghast. They could not even gather peacefully this Christmastide for a carol sing without mayhem going on outside the church. And then there was gunfire. The bullets were shot at the cars parked outside.

Where is Trad's crying handkerchief for the Christians, especially the youngsters, who were bowing their heads in prayer, then lifting their voices in holy chorus in honor of the Christ Child? Where is his anguish for the Christians who left that church, returning home, wondering if they were going to be murdered before reaching their front doors?

Oh, the world is to fall prostrate when a Muslim is grieved. Is that it?

So they get their prayer room in a New Jersey athletic stadium. ..."

Joseph Wakim, would you be as daring to describe self professed Lebanese drug gangs as being the result of increasing marginalisation of non whites by Australian culture? A 'Leb' out of work because of our endemic racism forced to push drugs and thuggery to feed his family? Your comments are as outrageous as they are misguided. A fundamental overhaul of Australia's sectarianism is needed to prevent the Balkanisation of Australian surburbia. State governments can ill afford to employ the divide and conquer strategem of 'Multiculturalism'as a means of subjugating their constituents, and a premier whose own electoral seat serves as a Mecca (forgive the pun) for culturally driven crime will certainly be too much of a coward for truly meaningful action to take place.

As consort suggests , there needs to be a fundamental overhaul , but of Australias' secterianism?

What is needed is a fundamental overhaul of the Anti-Discrimination Act!
What is needed fundamental overhaul sentencing laws.

What is needed fundamental overhaul sentencing as to penalties for for crimes such as terror.

What is needed fundamental overhaul in the places of confinement.

What is needed to a return to corporal punishment!

What is needed is a change of government in New South Wales.

Also these recent crimes are not just criminal, they are hate crimes, against not individuals but the state and by recalcitrant militant Muslims.

Also this would be an opportunity to further privatise the prison system, by contracting out the detention of those guilty of these particular crimes. This privatisation also being of benefit to those who receive our foreign aid, by substituting this aid for services such as the provision of detention centres.

As for Morris Iemmas’ seat of Lakemba serving as a Mecca , he is not the only State Labor politician dependent on preferential treatment from Muslims , so is the seat of Rockdale , as well as numerous other members of Parliament and members of local councils , through the use of branch stacking.
Even Barry Jones has admitted the reason for lax immigration policies during the 1970s’ .

What exactly do you mean by Christmas Spirit?

I believe that Mary and Joseph were Jewish , and Jesus was raised as a Jew?

I personally believe that much of the Christmas celebration as in secular society is nothing more than a pagan worship of materialism.
Christmas as we know it was actually banned in the mid 17th century.

As for the implied guilt in that offensive statement , the true reformed faith believes that Christ has already paid for our sins so no guilt!

If we as a nation retured to these fundamental beliefs , the issue of Muslim Militacy could be resolved , in this lad in a matter of months not years.
