When discussing migrants, especially non-British migrants,
people are sometimes tempted to lump all of them together
and treat them as one homogeneous species. Nothing is
further from the truth. Australian immigrants vary a great
deal in their ethnic backgrounds, religions, and educational
levels. Their current social and educational needs are not
homogeneous, either. People have settled in Australia for
various reasons, economic, change of lifestyle, adventure,
refugees, family reunions and so on. You can't make
generalisations about any particular group. There are
many differences even within each group.

At present, Australia is one of the most ethnically diverse
societies in the world. However, the concept of multiculturalism
continues to have different meanings for different people.
Hidden (and some not so hidden) anti-migrant prejudices exist.
A small minority still yearn for the "good old days". Some
Australians still believe that a "unique Australian society
and identity emerged with Federation .. and that this
identity should be the basis of immigrant assimilation."
These Australians are most comfortable with a singular
national identity and assimilationist policy."

What they forget or aren't aware of is that - international
research has shown that some measure of assimilation is
inevitable in any ethnic community. Even seemingly airtight
and isolated colonies, such as Hassidic Jews, cannot totally
escape a slight touch of assimilation. Furthermore, assimilation
is a two-way process. As an immigrant absorbs the culture of
the host country, he is also giving off and
surrendering some of his own imported heritage.
As a result, an Egyptian, Palestinian,
Pakistani, Lebanese, living in Australia for a long time is
likely to gradually create a new identity, although he may
not be aware of it. What the former immigrant still believes
to be his Egyptian identity may well be regarded as
totally Australian by the contemporary residents of Egypt.

Islam first came to India in the 7th Century, AD, gradually became a problem, grew as a problem and after securing the division of the country, remains a problem.

Assimilation?

Ha! Ha! Ha!

Foxy we are not talking about a persons race, we are discussing a culture that is exclusively monoculture; as it will not assimilate into a society.

Tony should know that Bankstown Council gave residents a dog exercise park, after residents complained of dogs being exercised in their streets. Mohamed gave a command that all dogs be killed, until his soldiers learnt that many dogs were used for herding and protection. So is was changed that all black dogs and dogs showing white around the eyes be killed. Devout Muslims consider dogs as unclean.

5) DOGS STOP THE ANGELS
From Bukhari Vol. 4, #448
Narrated Abu Talha: "I heard Allah's Apostle saying; "Angels (of Mercy) do not enter a house wherein there is a dog or a picture of a living creature (a human being or an animal).""
From Bukhari Vol. 7, #843
Narrated Salim's father: "Once Gabriel promised to visit the Prophet but he delayed and the Prophet got worried about that. At last he came out and found Gabriel and complained to him of his grief (for his delay). Gabriel said to him, "We do not enter a place in which there is a picture or a dog.""
From Muslim, #5276:
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger as saying: Angels do not accompany the travelers who have with them a dog and a bell.
From Muslim, #5279:
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger as saying: "The bell is the musical instrument of Satan."

COMMENT
The story behind these hadith. A little puppy stopped an angel from entering the house because it was "unclean". Note that angels do not enter a place with a dog, or accompany people who travel with a dog

Dear Josephus,

Are you trying to tell us that there are Muslims in
Australia who don't like dogs or who don't have
dogs as pets? Firstly that's a generalisation surely?
How on earth would you know what Muslims in Australia
feel about anything? Secondly what's it got to do with
you or any of us? You might have some peculiar habits
yourself for all we know - but as long as you keep them
to yourself - and providing you're not hurting anybody -
I'm sure that your neighbours could care less.
We don't know what your deviance is - but as long as it
doesn't hurt anyone else - who cares - go nuts!

When the leader of the NSW opposition can express concern that non Muslim people are moving away from suburbs in Sydney South West; the reason has to be asked Why? The religious make up of Bankstown is 28.9% Islam, 17.7% Catholic, 12.9% No Religion, 11.1% Buddhism. The religious affiliation of Auburn were Islam 43.0%, No Religion 15.5%, Catholic 9.7% and Hinduism 8.8%.
