I was at a meeting in Perth WA in 1986 when a man named Alberto Rivera gave a talk to about 600 people as he had a serious message.He had security guards to protect him and has written his life story in comic book form.He wrote about Islam and Muslim faith which he had a lot to do with in 35 years ,The one he wrote about Islam is called "The Prophet", and the world's future living with Islam. You can search the net and read it I believe. Sad to say, I just found that Alberto was murdered a while back. But it is worth the reading of "The Prophet"/Just type in his name and follow the links.

PS He invited the media to that talk he said ,and not one media person turned up.

Thanks dobbadan, Always willing to become better informed.

MissisipiMud,

When I said 'violent criminal paranoia' I meant everyone who thinks like that including Islamist terrorists.

Islamist terrorists don't differentiate between Muslims and non-Muslims. I lived in Egypt in the early 80's and have seen them killing other Muslims (& Iraq today). They are the world's bad news and the sooner we get rid of them the better. At least I won't find myself responding to postings like yours.

Peace,

Posters: I know plenty of folk who refuse to be assimilated into certain aspects of supposedly Australian culture. I intend to hold on to my culture. Thus Australia is a multi-cultural society while Rancitas is still around.

If you lot can’t see that multiculture goes way beyond skin colour, religion and ethnicity then you must be racist. You are apparently cultural supremacists who want to impose a monoculture based on some vague unreachable utopian ideal that is couched in exclusion of difference. You are usually apparently blinded to your own religion’s equally questionable ethical, moral authority and godliness. You are mostly callous thinkers whose ethnocentric attitude negates the humanity of others.

Danny Nalliah have a rethink. You have developed a right-wing conception of multiculture. In my Australian culture it is not correct to impose our will on others who are different. Live and let live and try to understand that multiculture is much more than meets the eye. (Conversation)

a good laugh!

“In Britain, defence attorneys for radical Islamic preacher Abu Hamza have hit on a novel approach. They’re arguing that Hamza’s hate speech and incitement to murder cannot possibly be criminal—because it comes straight from the Koran.”
