Most post remind me of this story from Sept 17th
Just read it - This is what we are letting into the country and out breeding us. It may take a long time but we will be a minority.

"Girl, 8, calls on Islamic youth to back jihad"
eight-year-old Ruqaya yesterday fronted a congress of Islamic fundamendalists in Sydney to espouse her love for jihad. Addressing a 600-strong crowd at the Australian chapter of Hizb ut-Tahrir in Bankstown in the city's west, the young girl urged all Muslim youth to fight for the restoration of the Islamic caliphate, a single global government for all Muslims established under strict sharia law.

Good old facebook is at it again....nothing like social media to fuel religious intolerance.

Actually, this case reminds of something Jayb posted recently, wherein he received an email from a mate (spawned by social media) that stated that a Muslim-owned shopping centre had stopped Remembrance Day badges from being sold on its premises....Jayb contacted the centre management which told him the story was crap and that badges had been sold from the centre precincts.

Poirot - If the story was a fake the post about the 8 YO is more disturbing and backs up what people have been saying but in a different context. She is one of many we do not need here with there religious intolerance.

Susie,
If we were multicultural we would allow other cultures to practice all aspects of their culture in Aus. We do not.

We only allow those aspects of other cultures that fit within our social standards and comply with our laws. So we are not Multicultural. Even aboriginals cannot ptactice all aspects of their traditional culture. Nor does it seem they want to.

How many cultures can you name that fit in here without adaptation to our society and laws.

Sorry if that does not fit your concept of the ideology of multicutluralism, but that is the reality. MC is a misnomer. The very foundations of our culture stem from the UK. Like it or not, that is the way it is.

Australia has a unique culture and, like all cultures, it does change over time. I am not christion, but see things from a practical viewpoint.

Banjo, can you name all the cultures that can't 'fit in' here without adapting their practices? There are very few.
.
Maybe many of these people leave their country of origin because they don't believe in nasty practices like FGM?

It seems to me that the only culture you don't see as 'fitting in' to Australia is the cultures of the Muslim people? Correct me if I'm wrong.

There are many Muslims who live in Australia peacefully, who are happy to follow the laws and adapt to our way of life. Would you suggest banning a whole culture because of the actions of a few?

A friend of mine loved to put up the Christmas tree, buy his kids things from Santa. Always came to our Christmas party. The thing is my friend was Muslim. As he said, "We live in Australia now and my kids are not going to miss out."
Poirot, nice one.
Susie, there are millions of good people in Australia from all parts of the World. Its what's on the inside not what's on the outside that counts.
I'm a non believer but still enjoy Christmas carols, even the religious ones.
