"Susanna Feldman was a 14 yr old Jewish girl living in Wiesbaden, Germany when she was accosted, raped and strangled to death by Ali Bashar, a young Iraqi refugee who was already suspected of another rape and violent robbery. Bashir and his family fled Germany back to Iraq (the place they sought refuge from!!)."

He wasn't a refugee.
He just took his family on a German taxpayer-funded infidel child-raping holiday, and then he went home.

Jaymes Todd, 19 of Broadmeadows raped and murdered
Eurydice Dixon in Melbourne. He turned himself in
to police. Should we then assume that all Australian
white men are guilty? Because this is what's being inferred
here concerning Muslims. Is that being fair?

The rise of Islamic extremism should not result in
abuse, stereotyping and prejudice against an entire
group of people. According to the 2011 census Muslims
only make up 2.2% of this country's population. And
Islam is the 4th largest religious grouping in Australia.

Muslims are to be found in all walks of life in this
country. We have Ahmed Fahour - CEO of Australia Post.
Ed Husic - an Australian Federal Politician, Captain
Mona Shindy, Captain in the Royal Australian Navy,
Waleed Aly - TV and Radio presenter and university
lecturer, Sabrina Houssami - Miss World Australia 2006,
and the list goes on.

What pleasure do any of you get from demeaning any religion
or people? Is this what's known as a "fair go?"

Is Mise,
I don't dispute the Koran has sexist content. But none of the verses you quoted command men to disrespect women.

Foxy's pigheaded blindness shows exactly why in England France Germany and Australia Muslim rape and paedophile rings flourish. The answer of course is education. Same mantra same stupidity

runner,

It's not pig-headedness at all. What it is -
is not putting the vast majority of sensible,
civilised and peaceful Muslims into the same
basket as the terrorists, extremists.
And you as a self-proclaimed Christian should
know your comments are totally inappropriate
responses for a follower of Christ's teachings.
Christianity believes in forgiveness, even of
a perceived enemy. Christ's ordinance of total
love, of self-offering to the assailant is in
any strict sense an enormity. A monstrous
proposition for some - but one shedding fathomless
light.

//Bad as this is, what I want to concentrate on is the propensity of Muslims to rape and generally mistreat women.//

If only they weren't Muslims, hey? Because we all know non-Muslims never, ever rape or generally mistreat women. Well, except for that Austrian bloke who kept his daughter locked in a cell for 24 years and raped her repeatedly. And the guy who raped Eurydice Dixon. And Jimmy Savile, of course....

Actually, now that I come to think about it, an awful lot of non-Muslims rape and mistreat women.

I don't understand why people want to aid and abet the cause of Islamic terrorism. We all know that Islamic extremists lack the numbers and the resources to pose a credible military threat to the West, which is why they have to rely on terrorist tactics. That means fanning the flames of fear and division in our society, so that we'll be at each other's throats and less able to present a cohesive, unified front against real threats. The classic divide-and-conquer strategy.

Why would anybody want to help them with the dividing part of that strategy? What on earth is it that they're hoping to achieve? Are they not concerned that if the overwhelming message that at-risk Muslims youths hear coming from the wider Australian population is 'you're alien and wicked and our enemy', it might just turn into a self-fulfilling prophecy?

I don't get it. I really don't. A house divided against itself cannot stand, yet here we have all these mental buggers trying their darndest to divide Australia against itself. Madness.
