Here's another "forgotten" episode from Indonesia's very recent past:
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/muslim-mobs-hunt-christians-on-resort-island-of-lombok-727306.html See time stopped on 9/11/2001, "everything changed" right? No it didn't, "everything" has been this way in Indonesia for 900 years, majority Muslim societies are never peaceful, they simply don't tolerate "multiculturalism" or ethnic diversity.

This is an article taken from
The Age newspaper written by an Australian Muslim that suggests things that the Muslim Communities can do in this country to help towards easing the dreadful situation that is affecting us all. Working together and finding a common ground may well be the answer towards solving some of the complex problems. http://www.theage.com.au/comment/my-muslim-religion-has-problems-that-need-fixing-20140828-109ibb.html Posted by Foxy, Saturday, 15 November 2014 9:56:36 AM

Jay of Melbourne>>, majority Muslim societies are never peaceful, they simply don't tolerate "multiculturalism" or ethnic diversity.
That is it in a nutshell....... Jay the other issue with Muslims is sectarian violence. The Christian reformation was about diversity and acceptance, and while a truly ecumenical environment is only recent history the Christian reformation did stop Rome from ongoing global religious wars with the Protestants. Islam needs Reformation before it will accept infidels. My issue is we have an over abundance of “moderate Muslims” of both sects but they seem content to let the radicals call the agenda....harks back to my thread on “is there such a thing as the moderate Muslim.” Posted by sonofgloin, Saturday, 15 November 2014 10:05:06 AM

mansjunior,
Aceh? There are Christians there. I recall the beheadings of some young Christian girls there. http://www.asianews.it/news-en/Terrorist-involved-in-the-beheading-of-three-Christian-female-students-killed-in-Aceh-18124.html Posted by Constance, Saturday, 15 November 2014 10:12:25 AM

When people speak of the Lebanese issue, you really mean Muslim Lebanese. Please do not sully the Christian Lebanese. Christian Lebanese refugees not long after arrival in Australia in the actually protested in the streets, at least in Sydney anyway, trying to tell the Australian government to stop them from granting refugee status to Lebanese Muslims. That is who they were escaping from in the first place. There had been campaigning to politicians about it. And Malcolm Fraser would not listen to them. He is still poncing about like the ridiculous fool that he is.
Muslim Lebanese Australians have calledLebanese Christians Uncle Toms. They have no respect at all for Non Muslims. Beirut was once the Paris of the Middle East. They unfortunately too were soft on granting too many refugee visas to Palestinians who then eventually entered parliament. Now Muslims are the majority in Lebanon. Muslims in Lebanon I am told do not even wear hijabs or niqabs. In fact it is apparently hard to see the difference between Christians and Muslims there apart from the geographical areas where Muslim areas are filthy. I am told. Why are Lebanese Muslims wearing their death cult uniforms in the West? Posted by Constance, Saturday, 15 November 2014 10:13:55 AM

It's not just about knowing where the crooks are and my post should have made that abundantly clear. Unlike the old days of traditional policing, crime prevention is and important part of policing, too, for starters. And yes, many policing scholars used to be cops themselves.
