*I'm going to sit next to Siddhartha and listen to the river.*

Well Poirot, that is exactly why I live out in the country, far
from the maddening crowds.

*racist solutions but are born from fear and ignorance.*

Well no Csteele, it just ain't that simple. I challenge you to do
what I did, go through the history of islam and understand what it
is all about and what the different branches of it, actually believe.
On any objective analysis, I concluded that it is a violent religion
by nature, as distinct from say Budhism, it is also divisive. So where Islam
goes, trouble usually follows. That is just the reality
of it, suck it up

I'v just received a detailed eyewitness account form a comrade who was right in the thick of the melee, I won't post it all because it's too long but here is the core of his comment:

"Whatever calmer elements existed (and they did, there were lots on the sidelines) the greater mass went to join the fracas. It was the women and children and those who obviously didn't approve who kept out. There were children yelling things and carrying placards. And frankly, I was there (redacted). I was right there when it kicked off. I was always going to be -- as I had to pass through there to get to my gym. Which I did. Heh.

I could put it in a nutshell: I reckon there's a persuasive core of this community that really wants to get the nod from the brothers overseas -- kind of like an Aussie chapter of the Hells Angels wanting to impress their big brother in America."

Well scribbler, I offered my suggestion of the cause of the riots as
I have seen behaviour problems and I can see how similar the behaviour
of individuals in the crowd was.
I can see that their religion is the "prompter" of the behaviour.
Genetic mental problems are consistent with behaviour problems.

That is why I suggest it as a cause of the problem.
Frankly when generation after generation you have cousin marriage you
are dead certain to be laying up problems for future generations.
Politicians are afraid to tackle this problem by making a law against
cousin marriage because it might offend moslems.

What puzzles me is that being an agricultural society originally they
should have known better. The reason they promoted cousin marriage was
to keep land in the family. There are better ways of doing that.

And Producer, all those you mentioned have one thing in common, they are no threat to our society, nor would I suspect you would find a terrorist among them, nor did they hold placards suggestion anyone be beheaded.

This is a sicko culture and to think our powers to be have let them just waltz right in and start practicing their rubbish hear.

I still say, get rid of them.

Dear rehctub,

you say to get rid of them?

How do you suggest we do that?
Who exactly do we target out of the group?
Do you know how many Muslims there are in
this country? Any idea of the stats?
Compare that number with how many were
there protesting.
And how do we select the ones to ship back -
and where to - if they are Australian citizens?
Or are second and third generation Aussies?

Dear Lexi,

You ask how and whom?

You silly duffer, I'm sure Butcher could find a few cattle cars from the 'decimated' live cattle trade and combine that with Bazz's expertise in genetics I'm sure a final solution could be organized. Just leave it to those two and we will be in safe hands, you don't need to worry your silly head about it any longer.
