I'm all for moderate Muslims, but how does one tell if a Muslim is moderate?

Paul I see like a good regressive you tell lies to suite your narrative. Hillsong did not exist when Brian Houstens father committed his crimes about 50 years ago in NZ. I suppose with no moral base to draw from its no wonder you make up lies.

btw I am no fan of Hillsong

Paul,

"This mosque is only the outward sign, other that the practical problems in itself as a building, it presents no more of a harm than a new pub would in the area."

"Is Mise, as an ex-copper, you should realise pubs are often a focal point for "trouble" in the community...."

So you think that the mosque, as "it presents no more harm than a new pub", would be a focal point for trouble?

Bye the way, I'm not an ex-policeman although I have had a lot to do with the police.

Suse, then we agree, how about cutting off the disability pensions and Newstart allowances of people under 65 who spend most of the day in houses of worship instead of job hunting or education?
I'm not explaining the White social construct to you again but I'd recommend you do a search for scholarly articles on the reality of race, IQ differences and the biology of behavioural and group traits,the difference of opinion between the hard sciences and the social sciences are as night to day.
Many times I've pointed out the proven frauds of the social sciences like Stephen Jay Gould, Jared Diamond and Richard Lewontin, if people choose to believe liars an pop culture pundits over scientists that's their problem.

Race is a myth that persists in the face of logic.
There is only one race that characterizes us and it's called the human race.
It has variations within it but as all human variants can successfully breed outside their own variation and their offspring can reproduce then they belong to the same race.

Donkey/horse crosses produce mules; lions/tigers produce Ligers; goats/sheep produce geeps etc.
Homo neanderthalensis was of the human race and successfully bred with other variants, and some of their traits are found in today's humans.

We - as residents - were able to stop a mosque being built in Penshurst many years ago. Please research.

The application for a mosque in Hurstville is not a viable proposition for any/all residents under Hurstville City Council - refer to current info on Hurstville Council.
