Arjay, you are right. Tim Priest has been proven correct. In the light of events of the past week, posters on this thread should read the introductory article again and see who is now believable- Joseph Wakim or Tim Priest.

Wakim dismises Priest as "Sexing up stories about those evil Arabs"on the basis of one article in the SMH.
He accuses Priest of regurgitating "xemophobic prpaganda" and says that "Priest expects us to take his propheces, generalisations and expertise seriously"

This week has underwritten Priests analisis of Middle Eastern crime, and it may not be over yet as police expect more pay back.

The Multicultural Affairs Commission has always viewed multiculture through rose coloured glasses and will not acknowledge any problems.

In relation to the above post, read article "Lebonese join jobless queues" in 'The Australian' today.

Please, not a lecture from you too. My objection to Martin is that he does not accept my beliefs and tries to convert me by his lectures. Also he continues to condone other Christian posters like Coach, Numbat et al who insult and deride non christians like myself.

I would love to have a reasoned debate with Martin - but not on his terms;

he IS manipulative for example, calling Bin Laden and Khomeini 'good' Muslims is a deliberate slur on all Muslims. Does not the continued stereotyping of Muslims concern you at all?

I have all the time in the world for reasonable christians such as Shonga continues to be. I have no time to be bible bashed - which Martin is guilty of.

I KNOW the world is not in back and white and am really offended by your ascertation.

I'm not trying to convert anyone - all I have done is try to encourage others to think about their reasons for painting ALL Muslims with the same brush. I question the reasons for this bigoted attitude.

If you have not been able to detect that I look for moderation rather than extremes in all my posts I really have to wonder whether you understand my posts at all.

I do not expect people to believe as I do - how many times do I have to say this? I just want to be able to place my POV and not receive a sermon - a reasonable exchange of views is all I ask.

And I KNOW that MY interpretation of god is not the same as Martin's, but this does not give him an excuse to lecture. Why can't we (Martin et al) agree to disagree?

But that never happens. It appears that Martin and his ilk won't be happy until I convert to Christianity and start condemning all Muslims the way they do.

I believe in live and let live. I don't like Islam anymore than I like any formal religion. But I believe in the inherent goodness in all people regardless of race, sex or creed. I have stated this before many times as well, Kay.

Fellow Human obviously can't answer my questions, he must be off crying somewhere, knowing that the logic of my argument in my last post is inescapable.

Redneck, you really ought to change your name, as the irrational set that post here would be pre-judging you. Your arguments are always clear, precise, and logical. It's good to know, when I watch the news & feel angry about what Muslims are doing to this great nation, that there are people who feel the same way.

Arjay, great post.

Scout is trying miserably to explain away his point. A "small number of Muslim extremists, just like there are in Christianity". Go away, come back when you are sane.

I guess ASIO do watch Methodists just as much as Muslims huh?

I hope the racist who wrote this (obvious he hates Anglo's from the subtleties in his article, amazing that he was a multicultural affairs commissioner) is feeling sick.

Tim Priest's claims are being witnessed right now, what do you say to that Arab racist? Doesn't it just make you sick that THEY hide behind the term racist, when their culture is the most xenophobic we've ever seen!

Muslim women only swimming lessons so us lowly kaffir don't contaminate them. Marriage rates among their own kind extremely high, never mix with us unless the woman converts to Islam.

How many inter-racial Muslim couples have you seen where a Muslim woman has married a non-Muslim Anglo?

None.

Xenophobic to the core. I can't wait until the pendulum swings, and our education departments are sterilised. Only then will the true racists be seen, and us whites who have been the adult and copped abuse all these years will explode like a battered housewife.

1000's of racial bashings, hundreds of rapes, a dozen racial murders (the boxer who was killed murdered an Anglo on ANZAC day 1998 in an Auburn pub, and that pig who got his Anglo girlfriend to organise a bomb attack was jailed for killing an Anglo at a Parramatta Hotel) yet we are racist?

Muslim leaders claim they are worried of a redneck backlash after the London attacks, in the midst of churches, not mosques, being burnt.

Four churches were burnt after Cronulla, so who brings religion into it?

I seen a tv ad recently about domestic violence. It ignores our multicultural identity, as all five guys giving excuses for hitting their wives are white. Surely one Muslim would be in it! I know domestic violence is extremely low in their community, but that is because it's not reported. They are where the white community was at the turn of last century, where it was acceptable practise.

The Muslim guy's excuse for hitting his wife would be the most worrying too, not like the Anglo guys who said they were drunk. He could say "My religion allows me to hit her" and those cultural relativists out there would agree, just as they think female genital mutilation is alright.

That old hag of a feminist Germaine Greer once said she supports female mutilation, so I guess she isn't a feminist at all is she?

Muslims are the most xenophobic people on the planet. Remember the evidence of their racism, the xenophobia, in how they're marriage practises are, 75% of Lebanese Muslim men go back to Lebanon to find a wife.

Imagine the outcry if we whites started going back to England to find a wife, to keep the blood as pure as possible? They really are NAZI's, and the Koran is the Mein Kampf, a totalitarian book that aims to subjugate all non-Muslims.

Death to America! Men Must have beard!
