By Alice Aslan, published 29/5/2009

What lies at the heart of the fierce opposition to the construction of mosques and Islamic schools in some parts of Australia?

Professor Robert Putnam: "In the presence of diversity," said Putnam, "we hunker down. We act like turtles. The effect of diversity is worse than had been imagined. And it's not just that we don't trust people who are not like us. In diverse communities we don't trust people who look like us". The more people of different races that live in a community, the greater the loss of trust, said Putnam. "They don't trust the local mayor, they don't trust the local paper, they don't trust other people, and they don't trust institutions. ... The only thing there is more of is protest marches and TV watching".

Jared Taylor: "Even the giddiest white liberals normally live, socialize, and marry among themselves."

Dr Philippe Rushton: "Similarity, whether actual or perceived, is one of the most important factors in human relationships. It is more surprising to find just how fine-tuned the recognition process can be. The studies reviewed above show that the preference for similarity occurs within ethnic groups and within families..."

"Functional magnetic resonance imaging studies are beginning to demonstrate the neural correlates associated with viewing kin and facial self-resemblance... The results suggest that the detection of resemblance is occurring below the level of conscious awareness..."

"Researchers have found some people automatically produce stress hormones when they see someone of a different race."

Racial Tension In A 'Split Second'

Can brief hesitations in conversation (often associated with anxiety) actually cause interracial tension? ... a mere one second delay in conversation was sufficient to raise anxiety inintergroup but not intragroup interactions"

My question to non-Anglos like Nursel is what lies at the heart of your "inability and unwillingness to accept ... and come to terms with" the above facts? Why can't you accept that "some Australians" believe Islam is not peaceful and that preserving our historic society is the most basic human value?

Ladies and gentlemen,
It is normally about this time in proceedings that CJ Morgan says his little piece.He has unfortunately, been delayed this evening, having other pressing matters to attend to.But he has asked me to do the honours for him, in his absence. So I will give it a go.

“Racists!” “Wingnuts!” “Xenophobes!”
“Youse are all a pack of trolls…”

CJ will expand of each of these when he does arrive.

On behalf of CJ Morgan
Than you all

Frankly, I wouldn't ask you to wipe my arse for me, Horus.

However, thanks so much for pointing out that some of the more vituperous comments in this thread have come from those who could well be described by the terms you've used above. I would never use the word "youse" though - that's more typical of uneducated twats like you.

Thanks also to Nursel Guzeldeniz, who has obviously pointed out a few home truths, given the reactions of the 'White Australia' Neanderthals.

If one ever needed evidence as to the extent of academia being involved in the advancement of radical islam, here is a disturbing current synopsis of the situation in America,with a plethora of links.

Is Australian academia, to which the author belongs, any different I wonder?

CJ Morgan and Horus typically have no facts to refute arguments but rely on ad hominem attacks.
So what's new?

When you think how few Muslims there are in Australia, the reactions here are quite remarkable for the level of fear they display.

On one side, 98 Australians

On the other, 2 Muslims.

Oh, oh, say the Australians, save us from those marauding Muslims, our very lives are in danger.

Pussies.
