Dear Banjo,

Historically we've always had fears - of the kind
that you describe. And on the whole they've usually
been proven to be unfounded.

Immigraton has always been an important element in
Australia's nation building. We have integrated millions
of people with diverse backgrounds from over 200 countries
and we have drawn from that diversity to build a
successful nation. Problems exist within any nation -
and we have laws in place to deal with acts of violence
and those who break the law. Curtailing who comes into
this country I think is already being done by the
Immigration Department. They do have certain criteria
that must be met. I am not an expert in this field
so i can't offer you any information on
this subject. But I'm sure that you can Google it -
if you're interested.

Lexi,
Comon, you are avoiding the question, by saying the issues I raise are just fears. The Croats and Serbs hate each other and fight. The Lebanese muslims hold our laws and police in complete disdain. There are groups that practice alien cultural matters. As Belly pointed out the few alien groups have been here for three generations, time enough for them to have changed their ways and become part of Australia.

These are not fears, they are realities and are happening right now. The shootings in S/W Sydney are real and cannot be ignored.

Do you support far tougher jail sentences and building more jails? I do, together with tighter restrictions on bringing in people of those groups that are comtemptous of our society. I do not make my suggestions lightly, but cannot see any other way.

It would be good to get your opinion on what should be done

This Link is from a Brilliant young man.
He speaks for 9 minutes and a few seconds.
He is Lebanese.
And lives within the community we speak about.
I know others like him, good honest folk.
ANY ONE interested in this subject, should take the time to watch.
His sharp honest words maybe more to the point, and of more use, than any, including mine here.

Lexi I feel you will not read the links.
And, honestly, that you should be better informed.
We all of us, must be aware, be warned, truth is always the only acceptable building block for improvement.
Banjo,I agree with your view recommend my link above, it tells a story from within, brilliantly.

There is a tradition of cousin marriage that has caused those
communities that practise it to have a high percentage of genetic
faults. Most moslem, if not all, do practise cousin marriage.
How many of those with violent behaviour have mental genetic faults ?

Behaviour problems can be related to genetic mutation.
It can also affect preception of other peoples actions.

There have been moves to stop genital mutilation by law and cousin
marriage should also be banned. It would be interesting to know how
many Lebanese convicted of violent crime have parents who are cousins.

AS you said Belly this is not a pleasant thread but no one has
come up with a cause or a solution.

Belly,
That's a good video, I've posted extensively on the difference between the "Leb" subculture and authentic Lebanese culture.
The guy in the video is 100% correct, you look across all the "troubled" youth groups in the world and what's the common denominator? Hip-Hop/ SoCal Gangsta influence, it doesn't matter if it's Broadmeadows, Wadeye, Kibera, Brixton, the Banlieues of Paris or the suburbs of Kiev, it's the same clothing, the same music, the same body language, the same victim mentality and the same dysfunction.
I like to say the problem is not that SoCal/Gangsta is the culture of poverty it's the poverty of the Socal/Gangsta culture that's dragging people down.
