I actually would be inclined to agree with you Individual.

My point was directed at the overjoy of a politician merely making a speech- just like Peter Costello (or Malcolm Turnbull on other issues).

We get lost, totally lost in threads such as this.
Insults fly, heated name calling, the word xenophobic is let fly by some who may even not understand it.
Germany will always feed thoughts of a war that has been over a very long time.
Yet we fearfully tread around the questions very heart.
We are afraid to say it.
Multiculturalism has built America and help Australia.
Be honest it is fear of Muslim Migration ,a religion that frightens us.
And now I will be called a xenophobic red neck, so be it.
No religion should have anything to do with governing, ruling, or controlling humanity.

A fair point Belly.

Dear Pericles.. isn't it good that we can express diverse opinions ?

Your's tends to be a 'minimalist' approach and you have your own reasons for this.

You said:

"I have worked in Berlin. Coincidentally, I also lived for a while in the very suburb that was the subject of your carefully selected YouTube video. It was no different to living in any area predominantly populated by the underprivileged. Slummy."

and of course you went to the school concerned and discussed the situation with the teachers ...right?

That vid was not about communal violence at the adult level, it was at the youth level which is not the kind of thing you would see I suspect unless you went out doing some research about it.

Have you spoken to the police about this ? Have you seen survey evidence? Have you spoken to young Germans lads about it ?

Current Affair actually DID the thing you spoke of..they paid some migrant youth to wear masks and do the "we are a tough Broady gang" thing in a subway. How do I know ? I had email contact with one of them via youtube. That was very very different to the incidents you saw in the vid.
The only other place locally I've seen such hatred against whites is during Cronulla from lebanese who screamed from cars "We're gonna rape your mother".. and we know that in their case it ainst just words..now don't we.

Have you seen police footage of interviews of youthful lebanese thugs?
Have you compared that to similar footage of Australian crims?
I think you need to flesh out your education a bit more mate.

Boazy I can not take you on face value, yes your points in that last post are true but my concerns are too.
Your brand of Christianity is as much a danger to world peace as any other.
I too want to highlight the Catholic Church has far too much control, and far too many sins.
Yet again I ask how many of us fear the results of multi culturism before 9/11?
I still firmly stand against Muslim separatism driven by belief in a God That while non existent breeds the need to separate humanity.

Agreed again Belly, took the words straight from my mouth, this is rather unusual!

There's just as much a clash of civilizations in America between the secular portions of the population and the teabaggers as there is between the secularists and religionists in Turkey, as there are between fundamentalist Muslims and the West.
