Dear Hasbeen,

Better go read the results mate.

GroenLinks or the Green Left party increased their vote by twice that of Geert Wilders' Freedom Party and their seats gained was 10 compared to Wilders mob at only 5.

That is true Foxy, but no one asks the question, why it is so
different for moslems than others ?
It is not a matter of degree it is a matter of kind.

If I were to publish a book that urged the killing of Jews and people
who were not Christians, or offer them their life if they paid a tax
or decided to become Christians, the book would be banned for hate text
and I would be abused and prosecuted.

Why then is it permitted to sell the Koran in Australia ?

BTW, Wilders wants the Koran banned because it contravenes Dutch law.

Warning, reading this msg probably makes me liable to 18c
Gauwd this country has gone mad, but Victoria is itself a definition of insanity !

Dear Bazz,

There are so many varieties of Muslims. They come from
different countries, have different cultures, speak
different languages. To assume that they all practice their
religion in exactly the same way is simply wrong. They are
not one group doing exactly the same thing. And that
applies to all religions. Tarring everyone with the same
brush is wrong. As I cited in the previous post:

"When you tell people their problem is their identity, it's
who they are, there is no room to talk about real issues
like forced marriage, radicalisation, domestic violence
and so on..."

However, sadly I am beginning to realise that for some people
there could clearly never be a Muslim who was acceptable
no matter how moral, peaceful and productive.

Foxy, sweetie, reading the New York Times is simply ideological confirmation for lefties. You will find no truth there, ever.

Whenever the stuff has hit the fan, all & I mean all Muslims revert to conforming to their base religion. Whether they do this in religious belief, or simply in fear of what their jihadists would do to them if they didn't is a mute point, but ultimately has no effect in the result.

We now have so many no go zones it is getting ridiculous.

Dear Hassie,

We live in a Melbourne suburb not far from a mosque.
There has never been any problems in our area - either
with traffic or anything else. We have parklands
nearby where families picnic, kids play, and generally
get on with each other. My doctors and specialists are
Muslim. It's thanks to them that I am still alive today.
The nursing home where mum's being looked after has
many Muslims on the staff - and a more caring, compassionate,
and professional staff would be hard to find.
I can only judge people from my own experiences. I take
them as I find them - and so far my experiences appear to
be very different from what you describe. To me it sounds
like you live in a totally different world to me.

What the Dutch election highlights is that there is a deep seated disillusionment with the capacity of governments to create a fair and equitable society.

The rest of the world including Europe is following the US where its every man for themselves, dog eat dog, the best man wins, winner take all.

The rest are mere human crap
