Locally it's not the millions of Muslims worldwide that are the problem, as I mentioned on another thread, Muslim friends that lived in Bankstown had to get out as they wanted their children to get away from the local Islamic influences.
These friends are moderate to a degree that saw their children being picked on for not conforming to the local Islamic ideal.

'One could just as easily write a disparaging critique of the Christian Bible.'

Well go on then Paul, put your money where you mouth is and we'll all judge whether your argument holds up.

I'm not one to defend religions generally, but I will if you want to compare Christianity to Islam.
Christians (as annoying as they can be) don't try to overthrow society like Islam does.
Render unto Cesear what belongs to Cesear, heard of that?
They have found a way to co-exist with a non-religious authority unlike Islam that contains religious, political and military doctrine and aims to overthrow society.
And Christians don't stab and murder innocent people on Australian streets for no reason.

Paul1409, Armchair gave the answer I would have.
You need to draw breath, forget your left indoctrination, just for
long enough to go and read what is going on.
Of course the Gatestone Institute is biased. It is its purpose to
publicise what Islam's objective is in western societies.
That is what you need to examine yourself and just do not take for
granted everything that comes from the left.
Perhaps you are an old time lefty, if so you probably have not realised
how the left has changed to a repressive movement.

Read the history of Islam, it is a history of invading the infidel
countries, and the Koran commands the conquest of "Rome".
Rome of course was the main western civilisation of the time.
Islam realises they cannot do it the old way with armies so they are
working to achieve their aim by immigration.
They do not make a secret of it, they shout it out loud.
It is just that a lot of people like yourself are not listening.
Instead you make excuses for Islam and that is why you are a "Useful Idiot".

True Bazz, I wrote a while ago that world war three had started, not through guns and the like, but through the displacement of people whom, when presenting on others door steps, would pose great financial Burdon on the countries they fled to, and this is just what is happening now. We cant fully fund many the services in our country, and I suspect we are much better off than many. Another reason why Mr Brain fart's announcement to increase the refugee intake to 19,000 every year is ridiculous.

We are also dealing with a totally different faith here as they strive for total domination knowing that at some point, one generation will achieve just that. This is not a life time plan, its the plan of the movement from within Islam and it has no end date. It will continue until they either achieve their goal, or they are stopped.

Why the Greens play the racism card, when Islam is a religious dogma not a race. Eben Muslims are not one race of people but all races; beats the intelligence of the Greens.

Yes Rechub there is a financial problem that the moslems are generating.
The dogs in the street are barking that there is a major financial
crisis coming over the horizon. Today Japan has released more pixel
money and China's debt bubble is straining to burst.
With all that facing us then throw another million coming out of the ME
then there will be a real disaster.
They will be entering countries in a financial crisis.
Some of those countries will be imposing financial measures on their
countries, such as buy-ins on the banks and taking depositors money.
Think of the reaction of the man in the street ?

It is Egypt that worries me. It will have to unload 45 million people.
The crash will mean that the charity coming from the Gulf States will
dry up quickly and the food supply might fall around 50%.

About the only hope is that the crash may stop the fighting in the ME.
Or perhaps it will make it much worse. The moslum armies may invade
the Ukraine as the easiest source of food. However the Russians may
not like that. In that dismal scenario the possibilities are endless.
