Belly.....And in truth given no one reason to hate or fear them, many new arrivals will be like that.

Remember, it only takes one terrorist. Is it really worth the risk?

Lexi....People who enjoy the rights of free speech have
a duty to respect other people's rights. A person's
freedom of speech is limited by the rights of others.

Try telling this to the radical Muslims that our governments have let in.

Jayb, they seem to be reasonable questions to me, I would like to know the answers as well.

csteele - Having a discussion with you is like talking to a brick wall on 3 occasions I reminded you of questions I asked that you did not reply to.

Then to quote you "I will answer one of your past questions or a new one, poisonous or not." Seems like you are chicken to get into any type of debate as you call everyone's questions poison. You only want to answer 1 question. What a joke.

Your 12.6% figure is irrelevant because 85% were still on welfare after being here over 5 years which is money from the taxpayer, in other words we give them more than they give to Australia.

Also with the Government cooking the books a refugee could only work a few hours and then he would be classed as not on centerlink payments even though he was getting a large proportion of the payment from centerlink, or doing work for the dole.

85% ON WELFARE IS 85% ON WELFARE NO MATTER HOW YOU LOOK AT IT.

Last year we had 17,202 people arrive on boats put 85% on some form of welfare for 5 or more years WHY SHOULD OTHERS AND MYSELF HAVE TO SUPPORT THEM, you pay for them this year they expect 25 to 30 THOUSAND to arrive NO WAY, don't forget we are already BILLIONS in debt.

Rechtub I stand by my thought, many are no threat.
Good lawd bloke we are not that xenophobic.
Let us not feed csteele and those who say we are, by such claims.
I am willing to bet you could even get to like some Muslims if you knew them.
This thread farms over the top comments.
In truth ISLAM needs conflict its part of the very DNA of the radical side of this faith, a day will come they force it on the world.

Belly - Quote "many are no threat." with propensity to violence I would agree but it only took four Islamist home-grown terrorists in London to do the damage and 19 hijackers so on 911.

Economically they are potentially a massive future problem considering we are now BILLIONS of dollars in debt.

85% ON WELFARE IS 85% ON WELFARE NO MATTER HOW YOU LOOK AT IT.

We only have to look at Islamic state to see that the radicals DO force their fanatic ideology on the ordinary Muslim that just wants to be left in peace. The Taliban, in Afghanistan & Pakistan & the other stans around that area. Al Qaeda in Iraq, Yemen & Oman, Nigeria, Mali, Chad, Somalia, North Africa, Sudan & now Syria. The Wahid in Saudi Arabia. All these places suppress their citizens (innocent civilians)using terror, or are terrorizing them into becoming fanatics or killing them as Al Qaeda did in Timbuktu

I take it that csteel & poirot are OK with this & think it should be happening here.

Lexi, I have never misrepresentation csteel's position. However csteel has done exactly that with every argument anyone has put up. You have it all upside down as usual. csteels position is all to plain to me. He is an Islamist. He does follow the Koran. He does want Australia to become an Islamic Caliphate by violent means if necessary & it would be necessary. Therefore, he gives me impression that he is very possibly a terrorist. Otherwise he would have said that the Koran is not his Book, etc.

Belly, I domt hate Muslims and I habe seen some really good ones, here in Oz.

But, even they can't filter out the good from bad, so it is for that reason that I hold my position, that Australia is no place for this type of religion, a religion that KNOWINGLY harbors EXTREEM VIOLENCE towards anyone who dares disagree with their views.

Now if they wish to practice this type of garbage in their country, go ahead, knock themselves out for all i care, BUT NOT HERE!
