<<The problem is deeper than Islam. It began with the failure of the Aborigines to keep the monotheists away from the shores of this continent.>>

But the problem is deeper than that. Humans in principle are a not smart species in many ways and can poorly operate in certain conditions. Here the impacts were placed on the first living species of the Australian continent, and they were not human.

The first level of impact (in fact) came from Aboriginal people and was passed onto native animal species and plant life. The environment and native animal species that existed in Australia were affected.

For example, the cause of early animal extinction (in terms of Australian megafauna) has seen ideology taking precedence over scientific evidence.

With the arrival of early Australian Aboriginals (around 48,000–60,000 years ago), hunting and the use of fire to manage the environment may have contributed to the extinction of the megafauna. New evidence based on accurate information and dating of megafaunal remains suggests that humans were the ultimate cause of the extinction of megafauna in Australia.

Australian megafauna on the mainland became extinct in the same rapid timeframe, approximately 46,000 years ago, when the earliest humans first arrived in Australia.

Non human Australian native species are much smarter than humans and I would argue include plant species. Many have very simple operating systems, can live naturally and have strongly adapted to change. Many live in peace and yet the Australian population in many ways are struggling to function.

I have no intention of evaluating David F with whom I'm largely in agreement, merely of evaluating the notion that polytheism is an effective antidote to theocracy. History shows it's not.

As for keeping Moslems out, everyone entering Australia must be made aware at the border or on the plane on the way in that Australia is a secular multicultural society founded on the values of the European Enlightenment of the late 1700s. Accordingly a condition of entry is to respect the right of every person in this country to promote, accept, reject, or deride the teaching and symbols of any religion whatsoever. Anyone discovered to be seeking to deny any person this secular right will be deported to point of embarkation, charged for the transport out and barred indefinitely from re-entry.

Moslems would never have to be mentioned but no serious Moslem could fit through this perfectly reasonable sieve.

Correction: based on, or embodying, not founded on. Australia was founded on a brutal invasion and genocide.

There is one god who you can see, feel, touch, be careful with the touching, but cannot dispute. This god provides everything you need, even the mud ball you are living on, the food you eat, the air you breath, life itself. Who am I talking about, none other than the Sun God. Few are worshiping him today, and that makes the Sun God very angry, and when he is angry, look out floods, famine and fire are your reward. I have looked at the concept of god(s) and there is no doubt the Sun God, is the most logical, most practical and most useful of all the gods.
I accept the scientific explanation of the Sun God, the big ball of fire, that is what he is, but that does not diminish his godliness in anyway.

This video is a story about Sweden, but it applies equally to Australia. So I hope many will take heed of what is said because it effects our children and grand children, unless we soon take action to prevent it.
