There were in fact 2 articles exposing priest in the SMH. We haven't heard from him since.

When people attempt to couch racism in so-called facts, they are always exposed. This is because attempts to claim that persons of a particular faith all have the same behavioural abnormalities are inherently irrational.

Just because Tim Priest’s police colleagues could not corroborate some of his claims does not make Priest’s tales “tall” ones. Was it ‘could not’ or ‘would not’? It seems natural for any organization to deny or claim ignorance of anything critical to that organization.

Further, any criticism or suggestions that Mr. Priest may have not told the truth does not and will not nullify the existence of Lebanese Muslim gangs, who have clearly demonstrated their attitudes to Australia and its culture.

Mr. Hakim’s admitted relationship with NSW police underlines the claims that police were soft on Lebanese gangs. That police were “sensitised” is very damning for both Mr. Hakim and the NSW police. On the one had, Arab Muslims describe their thugs as mere law-breakers, on the other hand they plead for sensitivity on the part of police to the thugs’ “sub-culture”.

Nothing about Arabs has to be “sexed up” (disgusting expression). The facts are there for all of us to see.

Rather childishly, Mr. Hakim then gets around to “what if”, suggesting a Priest type report on “Australian” criminals; the old Arab Muslim Vs. Australians scenario. In his ‘victim statement’, Mr. Hakim has finally got around to the huge chasm between European Christian Australians and the Islamic community. We are supposed to regard Lebanese Muslims as Australian (even when they themselves don’t), but when it comes to point scoring, Mr. Hakim reverts to “Australian” and others.

And, he is a former multicultural affairs commissioner!!

We should not waver for one moment in defence of our civilization and culture, and we should not be cajoled or threatened by anyone wanting to prevent us from doing this, as Mr. Hakim is doing. Thanks to multiculturalism, we are at the beginning of a clash of opposites. There can never be any understanding between Western culture and one still in the Middle Ages. Those claiming to be victims or moderates should never be allowed to beguile us.

"Oiling" the truth, as Wakim does, makes the latter hardly visible.

The obvious truths of gang rapes and crime, of highly probable internal terrorist sleeping cells, and the rigid refusal of the majority of Muslims to integrate into the mainstream Western culture, are to Wakim, sex up hallucinations.

I do not live in Sydney.

Who is Tim Priest and why should I care?

I have no reason to doubt that this Priest bloke might be a right mongrel, but even then the TV footage of Cronulla Riots and there aftermath, the reports of gang rapes and other crimes appears very real and worrying.

This article seems to be just an attack on this Tim Priest and contributes nothing meaningful to the problem of cultural conflict in Sydney.
