Dear Yvonne,

Thank You for your voice of reason.
And for raising such valid points.
It's given me a great deal of food for
thought. I hope that others will read
your excellent post.

I guess the only way for sanity to prevail at
the moment in this country - is for all of us
not to give in to the fear-mongering.
After what I heard last night - I can't
even begin to imagine what it must be like to be
a Muslim in this country at present.

" I can't even begin to imagine what it must be like to be

If living in Bankstown, Lakemba etc., it's just like home.

Believe it or not I have some sympathy for your view on this one. Muslims are not the problem but Islam is. The reality is that whatever your view of multiculturism that including Islamic immigration has proven a massive failure. How much has had to be spent on Buddhist or Hinduism terrorism?

Naturally that makes it very difficult for the many muslims just wanting to live a peaceful life away from the chaos of their own countries. However if less than 2% of our population can cause such havoc and hatred imagine if we continue with this path what is will be like for our grandchildren. Already muslims are making it intolerable for Jews in parts of Sydney.

Your very poor attempt to equate IRA terrorist does not help your cause. We are talking 2014 and you only need to look at London, France, Germany, Sweden and any other place where muslims have immigrated to see massive problems.

Your arguement about disenfranchisement really holds little water as many of those joining from England, Europe, Australia are well educated (at the West's expense). They were shown kindness only to poop on those doing so in the name of Allah.

So yes it must be an awful dilemma for the peaceful muslims however many of them seem to be silent or in fear of their own radicals. If those on Q & A were mean't to be models of moderates we are in bigger trouble than most want to face up to. They were simply excuse makers for violence and happy to wear the victim tag in order to gain sympathy.

There is something dreadfully wrong with the format of Q&A. Tony Jones is a problem in himself.

I have heard Dr Anne Aly speak before and she made good sense. Given the format, compering and dynamics of Q&A she was not able to present and develop her case at all, which I believe was to the detriment of the public watching.

What were they thinking putting Scott Ludlam, Greens Senator, on the same show? Randa Abdel-Fattah was a lightweight and out of place, but not a waste of space like Ludlam, whose hands should shake when he puts them out for his senator's pay.

Dump Jones for starters and try again with Jenny Brockie. Better still, dump Jones and Q&A and have Jenny Brockie interview people like Dr Aly at length. Why squander the opportunity?

Honestly, Q&A and Jones waste and patronise the talent who come onto the show. It is a fair bet few would ever return. Not so the human headlines who are always available and perhaps preferred by the producers. Or at least it seems that way.

Yvonne it was not us that forced the moslem women to wear Burkas or
the hijab. We would prefer them not to wear those clothes and be the
same as the rest of us.
Similarly those bearded ones in their night dresses.

Think about who sets whom apart ?
There is some hope, girls have been seen taking off the hijab on the
way to school as they get on the bus.
Boys can have a remarkable effect on girls.

Occasionally Q&A has had religious leaders on in the past. Predictably Tony Jones and other have quized Christians in particular on their beliefs on creation, homosexuality, marriage etc. Throw into the mix the abuses of the Catholic church. Accompanied by a sneering audience Jones feels vindicated with his little setups. Always very predictable that they demonise anyone not in the ' progressive group think'. Just amazing hypocrisy that the same questions never get asked of the Islamic leaders (including moderates). The intolerance of the Islamic religion is constantly hidden and glossed over. The focus becomes on victimhood. No questions on girls being multilated, sexual jihad, Koranic verses on Jews and Christians and infidels, massive welfare fraud, polygamy etc etc The abc is an enemy of Australia.
