@Craig,

<< they come from a very old culture (no, not Islam, but Assyrian)>>

Nonsense! And you were lecturing others on their knowledge of history

There are those of Assyrian extraction/background in Oz --but few of them congregate around the Lakemba mosque!

I suggest you do some more research, SPQR. It's still not too late to enrol in that OUA course.

Here's a simple map from Wikipedia you might like to investigate in the meantime.

‘morning Banjo,

I don’t think there are many people in western society that are not aware of or fearful about the threat to their societies and values from multiculturism in general and Islam in particular. If there are, they are getting fewer by the day as the genie is now out of the bottle.

The exposure to Islamic values and beliefs is a shock to many because the information we have needed to form our perspectives has been manipulated and censored. Now we are becoming better informed and starting to express our views and concerns.

The PC left are even more acutely aware of the threat than the rest of society because they are the ones working hardest suppress the formation of views or, where concerns are expressed, to avoid the debate and to bully us into accepting the PC dogma.

They “defend” through deconstruction and relativism, because they have much to be defensive about. The public is beginning to realize that the grinding persistence of the PC left to steer policy on immigration, multiculturism, civil rights, human rights and social engineering, are the very “enablers” that have brought our society to the level of concern being expressed today.

As evidenced on OLO, the PC brigade refuse to debate content. Typical responses include quotes or links from their self referential networks as affirmation of their perspective or to splat us with the sort of “thought terminating clichés” Poirot offers,

<< it would appear that they are taking advantage of their freedom of expression to protest at someone else's freedom of expression>>

This of course is not a discussion about the topic content, it is just a means to close down the debate, everyone is wrong to even discuss it. This is why there will be no debate from them, just the same tired and frustrating rhetoric and platitudes.

Multiculturism is not a “switch” that is suddenly thrown on, it is a progression. If we want to see where that progression might lead us, we just have to look to Europe and dare I say it, Lakemba.

@Craig,

So lets see, lets try and follow the Craigian logic

A: Because the Assyrian empire controlled much of Lebanon circa 600BC
B Anyone from that region now owes their cultural values to Assyria!

Are you kidding us?

There have been at least a dozen empires since that time that have controlled the same land. The fact that the Lakemba mob now speak Arabic, adhere to an Arabia derived religion and closely follow its religious texts should speak volumes--but apparently not to Craig :)

There are Assyrians in Oz, absolutely. But they are not associated with the Lakemba mob and dont want to be. They hold to a very different value set and a different language

SPQR,

Careful, the truth could upset Craig Minus.

It's fascinating that someone who uses a handle celebrating the form of Government of the ancient Roman Republic (from which our own modern democratic model derives in a highly modified form) might try to argue that a similar influence might not apply elsewhere.

You really are special, SPQR.

I see you have the support of a fellow anonymous internet troll. How nice for you.
