Oh and to answer your question bazz.....Multiculturalism its self should be jailed:) and its believers as well:) well done! and said.

LEAP

This has been an interesting discussion. Each of us can only speak from our own experiences and these will affect the way we view things.

For me this discussion has now run its course. Hopefully I shall see you all on other threads.

Take care.

o sung wo good point as is Lexi,s, but The very guts of the issue is we, those who can think, not every one from any group is good or bad.
I however think your work has shown you a side I have seen.
I truly doubt, some contributors under stand the devisions even in the Lebanese community Christian and Muslim.
My states head City has had a Lebanese born Mayor,has a host of sporting hero's from that country too.
I concede Lebanese Christians get involved in crime too.
Dare I say it? see just being honest, just talking of things we see/saw experience gets some of side.
For a racist, thats what some think I am,I do strange things.
ALWAYS say good day how you going,to any new Australian I bump in to.
You can be killed, yes kicked to death, saying just that,to some African migrants!
Police get picked on for ethnic profiling, but those they profile target them selves by their actions.
No burning crosses no white power no xenophobia for me.
Just a view maybe more dangerous than all of them, no religion should EVER get other than its followers support man is divided by a primitive thread that has followed us from the caves intent and crafted to control.
Build reason to hate one another at our country's peril.
Ignore Europe and we will suffer too.

Bazz:

...Bazz, you and o sung wu are in danger of being branded witch hunters. It is really important for Australians to adjust to immigrants and their particular peculiarities. It is equally important to realise the hidden nature of the drug trade and keep the consequences of the black market economy in this country in perspective. The drug trade is in simple terms, a business like all other businesses; it “sinks or swims” on whether it turns a profit or not. The loser in the black market trade is the ATO. The bigger the black market sector, the bigger the loss to the taxpayer, since he makes up the difference in extra taxes.

...To promote, as you both do, by overly invective description of (all) Muslims as an evil scourge on Australian society, you actually do the country you try to defend, a disservice. The Chinese have long been proved as the king pin element in the importation of heroin; but your attack on the ethnic race of Chinese in this country is deafening in its absence, which proves the point to me, your concerns are not logically, but racially directed. Your both racist in the true sense.

...And to the invitation of O Sung Wu to “don” the blue uniform of the Police for a time, I decline. I not only disqualify myself from attaining to the (supposed) privilege due to “a past life”, but that inability also extends (interestingly) to a disqualification to obtain visa entry to the USA on the same grounds.

Often thought you bat for the other team Diver Dan.
Nothing to be proud of in that mate.
Like to line up with the two you target.

Well BELLY, ...we all have opinions based on our own realities; the good thing though is to be able to express those opinions openly. Of course, one of the objects of racism is to suppress the human rights of ethnic groups. Australians over the years have succeeded marvellously well in their racist attitudes to the detriment of Aboriginals.

...By sullying reputations of ethnic groups by innuendo and anecdotal evidence, which many comments in this thread do towards Muslims in the Lebanese community, a myth is perpetuated which does tend to paint an unjust picture of that ethnic community.

...# If #,(and a big if) for example, the prevalence of those with Middle Eastern origins are in proportionately higher representations in our Justice system, the reason is not “necessarily” because that particular group is any more lawless than any other; or exposed in the drug trade more than others; or are exponents of the black market trade of this country more than others, or generally any worse (other than their inherated and externally perpetuated reutation) than any other ethnic group: And (as I point out) if it is still considered desireable to point fingers of scorn at any particular ethnic group, point those scornful fingers at KNOWN ethnic group of drug runners, the Chinese. But no, it still remins silent on that issue doesn't it Belly. With the "nom de plume" of "O sung Wu", maybe something lays a little deeper there!

...The intention of my post was to correct the misconception as I see it. Until I see the evidence that the Lebanese are any more involved in the drug trade than any other Australian passes before my eyes, I remain incredulous to the slanderous and dangerous nature of these racist attacks.

So Belly, if you stack-up behind the racist elements, you are naturally branded as one. Its a trueism; Show me your friends, and I'll show you who you really are!
