So I take it it's ok to hurl insults at Moslems, treat them like dirt and accuse them of not being Australians just because some crazy extremists misuse the religion to justify terrorism? When will people grow up and realise that such behaviour simply exacerbates violence and will make things much much worse.

Jacks, why precisely is the average number of children in Australian Moslem families critical to their acceptance by other Australians? Is that also true for Catholics?

Four Corners was absolutely right to show this program. Carry on like that and we'll end up with a disaster on our hands.

"In the meantime the score for violents acts by muslims against others since 9/11,somewhere in the world, is now over 11,000."

I guess that the documented 80 to 90 thousand civilian deaths in Iraq since the Good Guys arrived to save them only count as one single incident - not to mention the hundreds of thousands that died because of the economic sanctions against them before their liberation.

Nice to see that somebody is keeping score.

The ABC would only be second to the SBS in cheering on Mr Arafat getting the noble peace price. Why shouldn't we be surprised at their propaganda. At least the tax payer isn't paying for the commercial stations when they mis report issues or have a totally one sided dogmatic view as the ABC reporters often seem to do. Kerry O'Brien and slip of the tongue on election night said it all. A balanced reporter is highly unlikely to have any senior role with our beloved leftist ABC.

The usual assumption of migrants coming to a new country is that they will assimilate. But with the help of the multi-culti grievance mongers the opposite is turning out be true. We are being assimilated ourselves. In many areas in France non-Islamic women need to wear head scarves to avoid abuse. In Britain separate bathing times are being allotted for Muslims who don’t wish to swim with the infidel. In America prisoners have sued and won when the prison authorities failed to provide traditional Arab feast foods like goat and camel on Muslim holy days. In Iraq and other places mosques are no go areas for non-Muslims even though they are used for weapons storage. In Canada a Sri-Lankan schoolgirl won a court order to allow Muslim girls to wear the Jilbab, fortunately overturned, because it was part of her culture. Yet the Jilbab has only been around since the 1970’s and was an Arab custom not Sri Lankan. In Australia, imams compare uncovered women to “cats meat” and suggest that rape is their fault. In Denmark the freedom of speech is being wound back for fear of insulting Muslims, while crucifixes in piss are considered art. In Guantanamo Muslims get their free Koran handed to them in gloves to avoid contact with the unclean infidel. Its one thing for Muslims to consider us unclean, it’s another entirely for us to agree with them.

The decision of women to wear Jilbab and men to wear beards in our communities is as much a statement of political intent as it is a statement of religion. It proclaims support for a more radical and political Islam that is totally at odds with the pluralism and democracy of the west. A recent survey in Britain found that 60% of Muslim Britains would be happy to live under sharia law. 7% of Muslims felt that targeting civilians, as in the London train and bus bombings, was acceptable. That’s 70,000 people who think its OK to murder civilians in your own country.
That’s why the fertility rate for muslim’s in Australia is important.

The problem I have with this article is that the author simply knows nothing about Moslem migration to Australia. For instance, he claims that most Moslems migrated as refugees. This is complete nonsense. Moslems migrated at different times and for different reasons. For instance, Albanian Moslems migrated during the 1920's to work as farm labourers. Many have now set up their own farms. Turkish Moslems came here as factory workers. South Asian Moslems largely come as skilled migrants.

The author also seems to confuse Moslems with Lebanese. But most Lebanese are Christians. And there is little or no difference between the cultures of Maronite, Malekite, Orthodox, Sunni and Shiite Lebanese - same food, language, dress etc.

What Cazza and rache said.

(I haven't the heart to argue this one, time and time again).
