Getting desperate now, aren't we? It was a Christian prime minister who let into Australia the highest percentage of holocaust survivors compared to any other western country. Who do you think are the real Jew haters? Europe, especially are having many problems with Muslims. And Christians in the Middle East are as well and are just plain fleeing and there will eventually be no Christians left there. Is this ethnic cleansing? How about the man named Mohammad who attacked a Jewish KINDERGARTEN in Toulouse in March this year. And how about the Beslan massacre on the school – 380 murdered by Muslim extremists there also? Tell me exactly, how many Jews were attacked in Australia by Christians? What fundamental Christians groups go around killing children?

I'm sure there was some Jewish settling problems but it wasn't extreme. You do know that there was a lot of anti Catholicism going on at that time and before probably since settlement when WASPS wouldn’t employ Catholics, and they didn’t allow Catholics to work for ASIO. In the police force they even had secret handshakes so they would know who was Mason and who was Catholic. That’s why many Catholics worked in the public service at the time, except for ASIO as far as I know. It was a different world then. Humans are generally tribal in nature. Get over it. But I'm afraid it seems Muslims are different, they have difficulty with modern western living. Whereas Jewish people adapt.

You know I also once did some volunteer work as a teacher's assistant for English as a Second Language in the early 80's. All of the students happened to be Muslim males and you know what, it didn't take long for me to resign because I found them to be so impolite and aggro.

You Pinkos just want mayhem and your hatred for Christians is very disturbing.

constance,

A most impressive array of insults!

Let's see what you've provided for us?

Hmmmm....

and

"You pinkos just want mayhem and your hatred for Christians is very disturbing."

Not half as disturbing as your representation of Christian ethics.

It's always puzzled me why it is that name-callers and those who pepper their posts with hollow allusions, who claim to be so mortally offended by others decrying bigotry, seem to exercise the greatest recourse to offensive rhetoric?

Lady Lexi,

Tell me about why I lack logic?
What am I generalizing about?
Why am I unintelligent?
My lack of Freedom of thought? What are you on about, you’re not making any sense again.

You are being abusive, Lexi and I can’t see any intelligent debate from your side happening here, and never have. Your only response is unwarranted abuse.

The madam lady passive aggressive display is so banal. I see it in my workplace coming from women all the time (they are mean and ain't ladies), and I tell you, so many people from different walks in life agree with me, both male and female. Yes, I’m emotional (am human) and I have a fire in my belly (no pun intended, Belly) because I am so sick of this dangerous cultural relativism BS. Don’t you have any empathy for Muslim women who have been abused by their own families by FGM and total control, and the dead ones who have been accused of dishonouring their families?

You are the one generalizing. You have made no comment to any content that I have stated except what I’ve stated about yourself and the other contributors I have mentioned and so you have avoided the actual topic of this discussion. All you seem to care about is yourself and your own status on line here which shows your narcissism. It is very bourgeois and in line with the modern so called liberal conformists. Sorry, but you need to get that stick out of your derriere.

You really took umbrage to my Stepford Wife comment, didn’t you? Well that’s sadly, how I honestly feel about you and the others. It’s like you’ve all taken the PC Madness blue pill.

Peacemaker roles are admirable when required but useless when it comes to debating – that is not their place.

csteele,
Here is the link to the reference I saw just a few days ago.

http://www.theaustralian.com.au/national-affairs/health/female-circumcision-is-a-right-says-imam/story-fn59nokw-1226542730442.

Now you quoted research which shows FGM at minimal rates in Aus. How about a link to that research. I certainly not aware of any current research relating to FGM rates in Aus.

Again I see your claims as wishfull thinking, nurses and others that work in hospitals see the number of FGM cases in Aus increasing.

They may be less than that in other predominant muslim countries but even one is far too many.

Constance,
Thanks for the link to the paper on sati, I recall reading about what the General said and it may have been a quote from somewhere.

Some multiculturalists want us to allow more alien practices and continue to turn a blind eye to FGM and forced marriages.

When one looks around the world, there certainly are some cultural practices that we consider quite alien. India has many such.

We need to be vigilant and strong to stop alien cultural practices from encroaching on our society.

Dear Belly,

That's okay, you deserved it.

"Are good manners now to include not telling your truth if it . offends,"

I'm afraid that is how it is now. People become so precious of themselves these days and so thin skinned. They are status seeking conformists. Mainstream society has become very narcissistic.

Pursuit of the truth when tough questions are required is not fashionable. The liberals have nothing to offer, only platitudes and suppression/oppression. I call them illiberals (low intensity democracy) and other things. They're not rational and are not interested in understanding the world as it really is.
