I must apologise I have found out that it is OK to treat a woman like dirt. The Koran says It's a good thing.

So whatever this guy did It's OK, they should leave him alone.

Lexi>> The man went around shaking hands with people and
trying to greet them - on the beaches of Dee Why<<

Lexi, if the man is innocent and it was simply some "cultural" mis understanding, then why this from your link.

>>Police will allege that, in two separate incidents on Wednesday afternoon, he approached a 16-year-old girl and a 57-year-old grandmother, who was pushing her grandson in a pram, and indecently assaulted them by touching their breasts along Dee Why Beach.<<

Breasts and hands are miles apart my belle.

Jayb>> They looked like they were all on steroids.<<

Yes tiger, I saw that footage....they don't look like refugees to me either.

Poirot, do you advocate the abolition of passports and identification documents for all persons on incoming international flights at all Australian Airports?

If not why not.

Immigrants that break the Law should be deported full stop. One strike and your out. It shouldn't matter which country you came from, how much money you have, or if the rest of your family is here. You break the Law you go home... if your home is too unsafe or economically inferior to your liking, have a nice life on Manus Island.

Paul you are parted from facts and reality.

Like Poirot you sit in your first world country and make judgements on Islam from your interactions with "westernized" muslims who have not yet hit critical mass. At which point a fair percentage radicalize, and the rest follow because of the repercussions of not.

I have two career nurse sisters who between them have spent 30 years working in Middle Eastern countries and they tell me that to many Middle Eastern muslims western women are "dog meat."

A phrase that I was to hear from our own Sheik Halelhi here at the Lakemba mosque years later.

As I said Paul, you are parted from reality.

Dear SOG,

Those are the charges being levied against the man.

However, the link I cited also tells us that -
the man's Sydney-based son said the incident was the
result of a misunderstanding and his father who does
not speak English is so embarrassed and distressed
by his subesequent arrest that he's almost suffered
a nervous breakdown.

It appears that the incidents arose when people on the
beach asked to have their photos taken with his father,
who was wearing exotic Egyptian Islamic dress.

The reason the elderly man also came in contact with one of the
women was because her dog started barking and gnarling at
him. It appears that the elderly man was simply trying to
who some compassion but had misunderstood the cultural
differences between Australia and Egypt.

Why are you not prepared to give the elderly man the benefit of
the doubt - and wait and see what develops in court on
Monday? Even a jury must listen to ALL the evidence being
presented before making a final judgement. Yet you're not
prepared to do that - why?

The man has not been found to have broken any law, yet.
His case will be heard in court on Monday. We should all
wait until then before making assumptions or calling for
deportations et cetera.

sbr108: Immigrants that break the Law should be deported full stop. You break the Law you go home.

Dead right mate. If they have been Naturalized then that should be taken off them as well.

Lexi: It appears that the elderly man was simply trying to who some compassion but had misunderstood the cultural differences between Australia and Egypt.

So if I grab you by the ti.. er (breast) can I claim it "OK" because it's a Cultural thing, being a Queenslander 'n all. It's how we say "Hello" in Queensland. I'll look forward for the Verdict.

Lexi: calling for deportations et cetera.

& THEN send him home to Egypt, with Headlines. I can see it now, "Egyptian man sent home, victimised for playing with raw meat."
