i work for muslims ,have done for quiet a few years,, in these few years i have seen nothing but intolorance for our western ways,hatred for our women,and no respect for any other religious beleifs.i litterally have met hundreds of them (extended families,members of their community,relatives from overseas,etc etc)
i have witnessed bruises on their wives,hand and fingerprints around their wives throats,ive seen their children be married off to their older most unattractive cousins against their will,ive heard them call us"sharmutas" because we are not muslim i have been told that women are for the pleasure of their husband and if she will not "put out" will be beaten till she learns her place,, a lot of these people i know are all on single mothers pensions,their husbands on the dole,their friends getting disability pensions(their special musso doctors write them willy nilly),they all have$500,000 homes,2-3 vehicles each,have businesses,holiday property and afford to have long luxurious holidays overseas,seems to me they are commiting quiet a number of offences in the process,,, why arnt they being stopped? cause everyone is bloody scared of then.thats why.

can't fathom why,

you have but touched one aspect (social) of this evil phenomenum called islam. i think you should go public with your stories (unless you are scared too). Average aussies need to know the truth especially those who stupidly convert to islam by marriage, I'm speaking of ignorant nominal christians girls who believe their demonic lies when it comes to give a favorable impression of their evil religion.

Don't be quiet about your findings it is our tax money they are abusing. Do it for our kids' sake.

Thank you.

Evil is a good word for paranoid schizophrenics.

I had a Jehovah's Witness couple come to my door about a week ago talking about the 'evil' Canaanites sacrificing their children to their god. When I mentioned that Jehovah then instructed the Israelites to kill all their children (both potential and non-potential sacrificees) as well as all the people their answer was simply that was okay because the Canaanites were evil and Jehovah said to kill them and he knows all. Oh right. So it is okay to murder little children provided the right god tells you to--so in the end it is not the act that is evil, only the name. Well I guess you better be damn sure you get the right God instructing you to maim, kill and destroy, poor canaanites listened to the wrong one. Some christians are so creepy.

All the people who believe in evil should be put in a boxing ring to slog it out together, so the rest of us can just quietly get on with living without them running around killing people and destroying things.

People who believe in evil are dangerous because their first step is to dehumanise and to create a bogeyman and their next step is to abuse: kill, torture, beat and marginilise others on the basis of a name that they are quite happy to label a stranger they know nothing about.

SALAM:

"The only things I can think of that separate practising Australian Muslims from other Australians is that we don’t hang out in pubs on Friday night after work, don’t eat pork, generally don’t get involved in hanky panky before marriage and are obligated to pray five times a day."

AND

"We have to move past common stereotypes of Muslims if we are truly going to have a proper discourse. Stereotypes about jihad, the treatment of women and many others always come up in an attempt to make Islam appear as the “other”: as something alien. "

I am appauled at this hypocracy. On one hand you are steretoyping "aussies" to be sluts ("hanky pany before marriage") and alcholic bums ("hang out in pubs on Friday night after work"), then a few paragraphs later you are condemining aussies for stereotying muslims.

Firstly, let me just say that not all aussies go the pub and get drunk every friday night, if this is your simple minded opinion of Aussies then I can safely assume you know very few.

Second to this, many lebanese muslim youths engange in "hanky panky" before marriage, lets not pretend this isn't the case. How you can suggest for a second these are "aussie" traits that seperates muslims from non muslims is truely beyond me. It is just as misguided as non muslim aussies calling all muslims terrorists because of "american regulated" media hype.

I think you need to get this chip of your shoulder. No offence but we don't care enough to hate muslims. Nor do the MAJORITY of us stereotype muslims to cause "jihads", etc.

If you think us "aussies" are sitting here whinging about muslims causing jihads then I think you need to get out a little more and possibly make a few "aussie" friends. Stop painting it out as though it is white Australians who hate you and that life is so hard as you are so discriminated against.

And stop generalising / stereotyping non-muslim aussies if you expect the same courtesy in return.

Sorry but it has been a long time since a Baptist/Anglican/ Methodist et al has hacked the heads off two Hindu/Buddhist/Moslem schoolgirls here in Oz. The same for alleged or actual or even planned terrorist crimes in Oz. I cannot recall when we had to enact draconian anti-terrorist laws because of the actions of the Salvation Army, they have been known to be insistent when asking for money to help others though. I have never, that's not once. seen or heard of an anti-terrorist demonstration by 'moderate?' moslems. I have never heard or read a report that a Christian cleric has preached violence or an anti-democracy anti-Australian sermon.Yet there are numerous reports and even quotations from 'peace loving islamic preachers both here and o/seas. As well not all moslems are terrorists but 99.99% of terrorists are islamic. And none of them are following the injunctions written in the koran, they are all outside of this religion of peace. Oh yes and pigs fly. numbat
