Gangs are gangs. There are white drunken thug gangs, and there are Lebanese thug gangs. Tell it as it is!

Leigh and Viking. Thank you for your down to earth and honest posts.

Taimor, why is it that some people of Middle Eastern appearance have their own policy of racial profiling? Didn't ME types select 'white anglo' women to rape? Weren't the women asked before they were pack raped: "Are you Australian?" Why didn't the gang rapists select victims wearing the burqa? Why didn't the gang rapists tour Chinatown to select a victim? And didn't they say to the victims: "You're gonna cop it Leb style"?

It seems to me that if ME types want to wear T-shirts with 'Lebs rule' and have the same slogan adorning their cars and have a tattoo on their body featuring a cedar tree, they want to be identified as ME types plain and simple. So issuing a description with the words 'of Middle Eastern appearance' shouldn't upset them at all. I think they would revel in that fact.

Until you drop that anodyne banner 'Australian Arabic Council' which is a tacit way of boasting about your 'Arabness' you will always feel divorced from Australia and Australians. Why not boast about your Australianness? Do you see any 'Australian Convict Council' or similar organisations?

Get real Hazou. Your argument is a parlous perversion of racial profiling.

As a citizen you should be supporting the description of offenders as Caucasian, Asian, Black, White or Brindle.

As a taxpayer you should be supporting descriptions which will assist apprehension, prosecution and removal of criminals from society.

As a commentator, you fall back on the race card, as opposed to embracing the removal of criminals from society by accurate description.

Finally, one small victory over PC, & a little step against multiculturalism.
I am a great believer in coffee colored people [by the score], but I hate this separatist philosophy.

Just another effort on the part of the multicultural lobby to sweep ethnic violence under the carpet. Ignoring the problem won't make it go away, thats just rubbish.

A bit of PC/islamist "profiling propaganda" on the Greeks and Italians?

"Sources within the Lebanese community said three busloads of young men from Melbourne - Lebanese, Serbians, Italians and Greeks - and more than 30 carloads were expected to arrive in Sydney today and tomorrow."

Greeks and Italians and any dark skinned people need to do anything they can to distance their communitys from islam. The Greek and Italian councils should sue for vilification of their communtiy lol.
