You're hardly worth the trouble, Loudmouth.

We are discussing those nurses of Muslim faith who are qualified to work within the British healthcare system.

I suppose it's reasonable for Loudmouth to assume they 'don't believe in germs'.

Never let it be said that Loudmouth passes up the opportunity to take a dumb swipe when someone mentions the word Muslim - in the this case in conjunction with health.

Look what he comes up with!

A miserable, snide and petty post.

(Congrats on that - up to your usual form)

Poirot>> sonofgloin,

Do you have a "credible" source for your 20 percent?

Just asking?<<

>> data collected by the Australian Bureau of Statistics shows that Lebanese make up the fifth largest ethnic group in Australian prisons after Australians<<
http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/features/migrant-groups-going-gang-busters/story-e6frg6z6-1226017998892

Aboriginals also make up about 2% of the population but make up 26% of the prison population. P the marginalization of these two groups lead to the disproportionate representations in the prison population, but one group was marginalized by us and the others choose it. It is their identity, they do not want ours.

I think most of the Australians who are racist are afraid and somewhat jealous of Muslims, because of the way they are so dedicated to there religion. There strength in marriage and there ability to withstand all the racist taunts they have to endure at the hands of some racist Australians.

If everyone in this country were prepared to learn from our Muslim citizens, there would be far less crime within our neighbourhoods. More tolerance and less drinking, and less violence because of excess consumption of alcohol and less alcoholics. I drink a bit, but not excessively. Under Islam, the consumption of alcohol is not permitted, and that is another thing that the Muslims have taught us all.

Most violent crime is caused by alcohol. Remove the alcohol less violent crime! The Australian Police are very weak and some corrupt. So its up to us to reduce crime, because the Police wont or can't.

sonofgloin,,

You wrote that:

"Middle Easterners are just above 2% of the population but they are over 20% of the internees in our prison system..."

I asked if you could provide a credible source to confirm that.

You haven't provided that.

I haven't had much time so all I can offer is this at the moment.

http://www.aic.gov.au/publications/current%20series/rip/1-10/18.html

"...the available evidence seems to suggest that overall, migrants have the lowest rates of criminality in Australia, followed by first generation Australians, with the remaining Australian-born population having the highest rates of criminality....However, adult migrants from New Zealand, Lebanon, Vietnam, Turkey and Romania have been identified as having a higher involvement in criminal activity than the Australian-born population..."

Telling us that Middle Easterners make up 20% of the internees in the prison system is a fairly sizable statement. You should be able to supply the necessary evidence to back up such an assertion.

That's a good point Sonofgloin, I notice that link to the Tom Sowell videos didn't work so I'll post them again, they compliment your post:

Misanthrope,
Lebanese crime has nothing to do with Islam, right wingers and leftists just create their respective strawmen from this fallacy.
Lebanese gangsters drink alchohol, gamble and take drugs as well as selling them and just like all religious people Muslims are hypocrites who have a public face but keep their vices private, there's nothing we can learn from them about temperance or civility.
