Everyone is prejudice in one way or another. But this is classic human behaviour and only those that have moved above and beyond religion, will see, that the truth about human nature will not change any time soon. Like I have said before, if you want too take the god way out, that's fine, but there are a greater body of people that are laughing in the face of the sheep people.

People that cant live with out a god are just suffering from a huge dose of insecurity. I must be prejudice! With 6 billion people on this planet and only a hand full of gods to go around, there just might be some money in it. But maybe the word CON might be just too hard to believe.

Liz,

Yes, I agree that some politicians are recklessly prepared to exploit prejudices, and we know who they are. However, my point was that there are as far, as I am aware, not a single Moslem majority pluralist democracy. I suspect ideas of Islamic supremacy are part of some immigrants' cultural baggage, they are unable to a adjust to our society, they should acknowledge their own prejudices and display more tolerance to mainsteam society. Especially the right of citizens to criticise Islamic beliefs without the risk of murderous violence.

Dear Liz

you said:

"It is unfair and unreasonable to blame Muslims in Australia for what happens in countries they have no association with."

It is ALSO unfair for Muslim Australians to rampage down our streets yelling 'F*&K Jews' ..openly (Sydney during a Palestine protest) which of course is a hate crime under the Racial Discrimination Act.
(The incident is recorded on youtube)

To my knowledge, there has NEVER been any rally which specifically mentioned "F*&K Muslims"... even Cronulla was about 'lebs'

It is ALSO unfair for Muslim Australians to support Hezbollah..our enemy and Al Qaeda

THE nation's most senior Shia Muslim cleric has attacked John Howard for backing Israel against Arabs and openly declared his allegiance to the Iranian-backed terrorist group Hezbollah.

Kamal Mousselmani -- head of the Supreme Islamic Shia Council of Australia -- said yesterday his entire community considered Hezbollah a "resistance group", not a terrorist network, and lashed the Howard Government over its support for Israel.

...and to generally support those countries with which we are at either war..or involved in serious in serious ideological or military conflict.

So..perHAPS when they start supporting AUSTRALIA in the international realm...they will be less targeted by AUSTRALIANS for a bit of verbal curry ?

BLINDESS... is sad.. specially when it is found in Aussies who claim they can see.

Lord have Mercy??

What is it in that bigoted soul of yours that drives you to such hatred. DO NOT DENY IT BOZO.

How many? How many BOZO are 'rampaging' 'down our streets'? HOW MANY?

You are either a complete idiot or you are cunning and manipulative.

(That one's a no-brainier isn't it?)

You KNEW what this poster meant; and that still stands. In EVERY case like this, it is the few who cause such malevolence to the many. You should know.

You and Gib's are the very WORST examples of Christianity.

The alternative of course, is that you are both the best examples.....

Which country forced Europe's hand and sent troops and miltary hardware into Bosnia to stop the murder of Muslims?

The US? Surely not?

Now that wouldn't look good in a Jihad brochure would it? The spawn of USatan saving muslims... it doesn't fit the program.

Will a similar 'real' intervention in Dafur now follow?

If you don't like the headlines, then don't read the stuff, but I realise this is difficult to ignore in a mainstream paper, but, at least we all know about the abuse, unlike annual Christmas and Easter anti-christian 'seminars' by imported Imans being hosted in my area. Unfortunately, I don't speak the language, but I am pretty sure they aren't reaffirming the place of Christianity (or Christians) in Australian society.

as a doctor(anesthetics), I have been on the receiving end of trauma... car accidents, gun shots, fire...you name it...

seeing another human realize death is imminent...they have a look in their eyes...and none of them were voicing support for any cause or religion...but saw themselves as who they really were...a person who has to deal with the reality they find themselves in...one of things that struck was when they spoke they spoke about things with such balance in view that made the room or wards go silent...and there was nothing for anyone else to say...such was the completeness of the view...

well to all those...'lets beat all the muslims today'...and whoever-else tomorrow...start by looking at the pictures of wars...for that is what you are essentially supporting...there is one that bring me back to the 'that balanced floor'...traumatized napalm burnt vietnamese children...

(like the enola gay poem and cartoon)

and no Im not a 'leftist/rightist poofta' or wimp...I will and have stood in harms way facing overwhelming force to protect those in need of a balanced outcome...the first example in mind is my 3yo little girl after parent separation...she went through the usual you know what that the family court or corporate media will not report/acknowledge but the generation of broken fathers and children on our streets know well...

those children on that photo, nor my daughter had/is going to have a 'happy balanced life'...

same way think about the end effect of whatever you support/seek...for all those dead and damaged in iraq...you and i reading this have a debt to them...no way out of that accountability...so acting to prevent unbalanced damage in the 'now' is much more important...

and for those shouting 'they are cold blooded bombers'...how many 'bombers' has the iraq war now produced...so you should have acted to prevent the war in the first place right...so why dont we all struggle to get to that balanced floor now please...before things get even worse...
