Foxy,

I don't buy that Aus has had any responsibility for creating the flood of refugees or economic migrants, in fact, quite the contrary. Without the demolition of ISIS, Syria and Iraq would be much worse off.

The lax border controls in Europe have led to a swarm of economic migrants (only about 20% are fleeing conflict or persecution) most of whom are unskilled and ill-prepared to contribute to the EU economy.

The result is that in every EU country, the attitude towards migrants is hardening, with now boats being turned back from Italy, other EU countries refusing to take them, and Merkel's government on a knife edge following a resurgence of the far right parties.

The Coalition turnback policy has essentially resolved the problem with economic migrants, and the offshore processing (put in place by Labor) is helping to resolve the problems left by labor's stuff up.

If foreign aid concentrated on education for women, instruction in birth control and population planning and adequate supply of contraceptives along with instructions in their use and the arms trade was controlled the resulting unrest would be lessened as would be the surplus population.

David F thinks that Muslims would accept education for women and birth control on our dollar. How quaint. It is gobsmacking to hear that people are still so ignorant of Islam.

Foxy my heart is with you but this is about what will happen in my view and this post is about my view,multiculturalism is a fraud, tell the Greeks Italians Maltese and all the post war migrants we, in any way, stop them having two cultures,however, few if it is, why the Arabic dress in our streets? why have THEY made no effort to assimilate? the few do great disservice to the majority of Muslims,50 years? before ten have passed we will see borders closed and try to convince ourselves it is for reasons other than SOME in a faith, that demands we bend to fit in with them
Just think, if we did not see the Burka on our streets, if we did not see Arabic clothing, BUT think too off my fate if I walked in Islamic lands in stubbys and thongs? be fair to them but be honest two side can act to kill this racism I am as said before a non believer and demand no faith in any way control any part of my life

Dear Belly,

Things will change with time. They always have.
Have a look at Catholic priests and nuns today -
now they dress as civilians and just wear a
badge to identify them. When settlers arrived
from England they were dressed in the 18th and
19th century garbs - but with time fashion
changed. Also remember the days when men had to
wear ties and suits for work? Women wore hats
and gloves when they went to the city. So what
do you expect from recent arrivals from Arabic
countries. Even Indians wear "pyjamas" in our
neighbourhood. However I bet their kids will
dress differently in time. And will adapt to
our way of life - as people have always done.
