YEBIGA,

" "I know many Muslims, both here and overseas, all are moderate but all admit that when Islam puts out the call then, to survive, they must toe the line. "
Written by Is Mise
You clearly don't know any Muslims whatsoever. How does Islam put out the call? What does it mean to toe the line?"

Well you'd know, being a long distance mind reader.
How does the call go out? Via a goon squad, the same sort of goon squads that harass women in the Bankstown, Lakemba, Wiley Park area for not wearing headscarves or on a more serious note do drive by shootings or bashings in the street.

If you don't know what "Toe the line" means then I'm afraid that you may be beyond help in literacy.

Foxy,

Firstly the late, great Victor Chang didn't set up the Institute, it was set up in honour of his memory and his contribution to medicine.

"Inspiration
A caring surgeon, researcher and humanitarian, Dr Victor Chang founded the National Heart Transplant Program at St Vincent’s Hospital in 1984 and spearheaded the Heart of St Vincent’s Appeal in 1990.

This Appeal raised much-needed funds for a Cardiac Transplant Ward and Cardiac Diagnostic Unit at St Vincent’s – and created the impetus for establishing the Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute after his untimely death [here read 'murder'] in 1991.

Establishment
The Institute, initially under the auspices of St Vincent’s Hospital Sydney, opened on 14th February 1994, thanks to generous donations from the late Kerry Packer, AC; the Federal Government; and the Australian public".

and Foxy in your list of contributions from here and there you forgot to mention the Islamic contribution.

Interesting article in today's SMH under the heading of 'Migrants fear racism, being victims of crime'. Asked to nominate what they "least liked" about Australia, racism and discrimination were listed among migrants' chief concerns. Even a significant number of Kiwi's complained of discrimination. In a 1990's survey Australians were seen as "caring, friendly, hospitable" unfortunately in today's survey this is no longer the case. 40% of new arrivals from Asia reported experiencing some for of discrimination in the past 12 months. Something of interest is that of migrants who have been in Australia for a decade or more 94% of Chinese have taken out Australian citizenship, people of Indian extract also have a very high instance of citizenship, however for British migrants its on 70% and Kiwi's a low 45%. Survey by Monash University.

Unfortunately, that idiot independent in SA has thrown a spanner into the works of getting Australia back on track.

All along I have suspected the Abbott governments real motives for wanting these important sections of the Racial Discrimination Act repealed. I have never though of Abbott and Brandis as civil libertarians and champions of free speech.
Something happened yesterday in far off PNG that goes a long way towards exposing the true colours of this nefarious government of ours. The PNG government moved to shut down the Justice David Cannings Inquire into the Manus Island alleged human rights violations and the violent incidents which occurred there last month and resulted in the death of 23-year-old Reza Barati.
PNG's Immigration and Foreign Affairs Minister, Rimbink Pato said that PNG was acting ''in partnership'' with the Australian government in having the inquiry shut down. It would seem rather unconvincing that Abbott and co would be arguing on the one hand about extremists rights to free speech in Australia, and at the same time be conspiring with a foreign government to stymie free speech in that country.
There now seems to be some conflict between Abbott and Brandis on the issue. Brandis said "People do have a right to be bigots, you know,
People have the right to say things that other people would find insulting, offensive or bigoted." When questioned Abbott failed to endorse the Brandis extreme view and was rather wishy washy with "(its) in the nature of free speech that sometimes some people will not like it".
As it is presented, we should shut down free speech in PNG, but at the same time let the bigots reign supreme in Australia!

<<The PNG government moved to shut down the...Inquir[y] >>

Let's face it, for the Greens and their allies "the enquiry" was just another opportunity to muck-rake, to throw dirt at Abbots border controls. If any inquiry had found the asylum scammers at fault the Greens would have said nothing --but if it had even hinted that (asylum scammer) little Ali might have grazed his knee due to a staff oversight they would have squawked to high heaven.
