"Multiculturalism can be stable and relatively harmonious if you have a strong government with a tiered system of state and para state security operations, an absolute intolerance of dissent and a system which supports and rewards factionalism among ethnic minorities."

A government along the lines of the National Socialist in 1939 Germany perhaps?

ConservativeHippie,
You'd be surprised how many people nod their head in agreement when I say what Australia needs is a small Hitler ,about a foot tall.

I love the irony, ConservativeHippie.

>>A government along the lines of the National Socialist in 1939 Germany perhaps?<<

A government less disposed to multiculturalism would be hard to identify, would it not.

But pointing the finger at "multiculturalism" is to miss the point. No race or religion has a monopoly on sin, and to blame the religion itself for systematic sexual exploitation of children is simplistic, and wrong.

Those who advocate "sending them back" or "not letting them in" should ask themselves why they do not knee-jerk demand the same treatment for all Roman Catholics. Not just the priests involved, but every Catholic in the land.

Because a case can easily be made for moral parallels.

It would appear that the Rotherham victims were predominantly from the same ethnic Pakistani background. It would appear that the practice flourished because no-one was prepared to point the finger - indeed, there was a reluctance based on the status of the perpetrators within society.

Sounds familiar?

As runner pointed out earlier in this thread,

>>We have seen the moral outrage against the Catholic church for their repulsive behavior...<<

Yet I don't recall anyone suggesting that the cure for such a systemic moral black hole is to blame not only the individual criminals, not just the management hierarchy who covered up for them, but the Roman Catholic religion and everyone who practised it.

There have been societies in history who have attempted to eradicate Catholicism - Henry VIII had a go for a while, as we know.

Even Australia was not exempt from the tendency. Early Catholic settlers were made to attend Protestant services, in the hope they would "reform"...

"The penalties for refusal, provided at various times in General Orders, consisted in reduced rations, imprisonment, confinement in prison-hulks, the stocks, and the urgent pressure of the public flagellator's "can-o'-nine-tails"—twenty-five lashes for the first offence, fifty for the second, and for the third, the road-gangs, or transportation to the "living death" of the convict hells."

And we all know how well that worked.

Eventually, we all learned to live together.

I think the answer to this one is, He would make a good “ruler”?

My banana please.

LOL

How tall is Jay of Melbourne? He's probably already conceived an appropriate socio-cultural pecking order as well as what role women should have in a perfect world.

The big difference between Catholicism is that the founder of that faith preached love whereas the founder of Islam preached hate.

There is no similarity and no common meeting ground.

One is good and the other is evil.
