Australian Government are mad to encourage Muslim migration.
Is Mise,
I'm still waiting for Paul1405's opinion on the intake of more Muslims. Governments around the world could combat the bad elements by just simply only let women migrate & leave the fanatic blokes stew by themselves & make them see the folly of their indoctrination. Talking about indoctrination, it is somewhat rich for us to point the finger at Muslims when we have indoctrination on a similar scale amongst the Leftists here. How can sense ever get the upper hand ?
When agents control the intake instead of Government the you know ther is a problem. Agents want money & they don't care who pays it. The decent people wanting to migrate haven't got a chance with the kind of Dollars involved.

Hi Issy,

You are right, my Turkish friends have said to me, they have greater fear from terrorists back home, and what can happen to their family there, than what goes on in Australia, where they feel very safe.

Yesterday marked a good day for Australia, I was watching ABC news trying to get the energy to get out in the garden, Parlement came on Shorten supported by Turnbull, even one nation, spoke for our country, then our leaders took one another's hands across the table, Fraser Anning got 19 VOTES was elected to one nation, like so many of late, he betrayed those who voted to install him in the chook pen we call Senate, by joining yet another party, yesterday we had a reminder that so few votes can, 9in that chook shed, empower such a lunatics, but too that we are one in the view racism is not welcome here,again the view that all Muslim are in any way a threat is blind and stupid

Every thread here that even glimpse,s at race or faith is jumped on by anti migration anti faith anti deep thought and yes a biased hate often shows up, once, post ww2 as migrants arrived we, not all that cultured or understanding, often slammed the door in their face, bigotry does that, today, just as is the case in America, another country that apart from its first nation is built on migration, the sons and daughters of migrants take a bitter stand against ? today's new arrivals,AID not long ago we applauded bands who held concerts to get cash to save children's lives, if we, every one of us, held such a child in our arms and watched it die, even a Muslim child, the very best of us would cry, a few, who knows? caring for others is no crime, not wast not wrong

Belly,

"...the view that all Muslim are in any way a threat is blind and stupid"

All Muslims follow the Koran, therefore all Muslems are potential troublemakers.

Paul,

The business model used by Oxfam is pretty much reflected in every aid "provider" so unless the aid spend is extremely carefully monitored it simply disappears down a rathole.

As for accepting refugees, while many refugees deserve shelter, Australia deserves refugees that won't be a problem later.
