Violence is unfortunately part of our culture
Lexi,
I have to agree with you on that. Just look at the course football is taking here, more & more aggression is being tolerated. In fact it appears that the violence is the actual drawcard for the so-called fans.
Having stated this undeniable sad fact I must however point out that the violence imported courtesy of middle eastern immigrants, is a totally different & far more sinister kind. It has festered for centuries & there's no cure apart from ......

Oh Lexi, you always seem to be looking on the nice side of any controversy.

What we are seeing here is the Baghdadisation of a part of Sydney.
It is the way they are, and they do not see any reason to change.
How long before car bombs become the weapon of choice ?
Any move to integrate them will result in the usual attacks on Christians.
So I am not sure that integration would be a good move.
The best we can hope for is that their doctors will try and convince
them not to marry their cousins.
After all, now they are living in cities there is no need to keep the
land in the family.
If they can be convinced, it might be bred out in three or four generations.

All peoples have violent gangs, eg the razor gang in Sydney in the 20s.
However what we are seeing here is very different, it is either
racially or religiously based and has been going on for more than 1300 years.

It will not stop because they have moved to another country, because
it is not about land or country. All Islamic countries have this
dangerous war. Yes war, because that is what it is as their religion
cannot tolerate people of other religious belief or worse no belief.

Dear Bazz,

I'm sorry I simply can't lump all Middle-Eastern people
into the one group. And tar them with the one brush.
That doesn't allow for individual differences. I feel
that many of us seem to know very little about non-British
migrants or their cultures and the problems they are facing.

What I think would help would be programs that would bring
about greater ethnic awareness throughout our communities.
And of course, education and training should also be on the
government's agenda for these communities. It would open
up more opportunities for young people.

Lexi - Quote "the problems they are facing" To me that is the problem they bring there problems with them. Not all but enough to stand out.

That doesn't allow for individual differences.
Lexi,
We're not talking about the two or three good ones, we're talking about the masses who aren't good. Just like in our society the handful of good ones have to toe the line & that in turn leaves us with that huge problem that is being imported at our cost & to our detriment by our utterly incompetent bureaucrats backed by just as incompetent academic do-gooders.

Hold on to something!
I agree with individuals last post!
We can not avoid, without avoiding honesty,not all Muslims are in any way bad.
And we should never! ignore the truth many are not to be trusted.
If we left our biases in the bucket by the door, and looked at both sides of this issue.
We would find during the war in Lebanon Fraser did us no favors , opening the door without checks, to criminals.
A third generation of that stupidity is now active in crimes this country never saw, in this huge numbers.
IF any one can without bias show me proof, these and other Muslim community, in part have not bought a culture with them of guns and murder exclusion from us, and in many places even a hatred then I will stop telling the truth about the dreadful illness this country continues to import.
Another shot 4 times in Rydalmere this morning.
