Toni, the reason I asked about the10% level is because countries like Sweden, who have a Muslim percentage of about 5% are witnessing some really difficult situations and anti Muslim sentiment is growing because of high crime rate and non integration of Muslims. So it would be obvious to presume that a higher level of Muslim occupation would promote even higher levels of disruption in a society.
Jelly, with regard to Muslims already here, I think most Australians are accepting but also very aware of what is happening overseas and wanting to not see that replicated in this country. Keeping the percentage low here would help acceptance and aid integration into our society.
Frankly I think the UN should be pressuring the wealthy Muslim countries to take most of the Muslim refugees. We are seeing from the events in Europe what happens once Muslim numbers reach a certain level and hostile enclaves grow within areas.

if we got rid of every one of them, every man,
woman and child - would any of this speed up the two-hour
drive on choked roads
Foxy,
No, but it would in the near future !

I don't understand.
'IF' certain people are known to have malicious agenda in their beliefs, and they are known or proven to act on these beliefs, why aren't they tagged 'persons of interest' by appropriate authorities?
For example, so called 'outlaw bikie gangs' are refused entry into some states because they are 'persons of interest'.
They have been accused of many crimes.
A few have been found guilty of wrong doing, but the rest haven't.
Yet they are criticsed and vilified for being associated or knowing these other bikies.
I'd like to know the difference, other than 'most' of the terrorists are dead by their own choosing, but were still identified, and if alive would also be in jail.
Probably the same jail as the bikies.
Could someone explain the difference, in that the terrorists also associated with others of the same race/religion.
Why are they not tagged like the bikies?
As it stands the terms of reference are very clear and under those same terms of reference these people should be on a watch notice.
At the very least.
You wonder why I find this country so lacking.
I can guarantee that if I wrote book where-by I made it very clear that I would kill Australians no matter what, I would be arrested 'with prejudice'.

the UK police are still trying to work out the motive for the latest attack by a muslim immigrant a couple of days ago in London. If the Police are that thick what hope is their for our resident regressives.

Foxy, in relation to online polls. ABC news currently asking if Senator Anning should apologise for his comments about migrants.
Currently 65,000 votes. 40% say yes, 60% say no.
Being an ABC site I was really surprised by the response and perhaps the Senator wasn’t too far wrong.
ABC have closed the poll.

I believe that France has a muslim population between 20% and 30%.
The only betting going on there is when will the civil war start.
Unfortunately that is no longer a joke, people seem to be taking
it seriously. I do not read French so it is hard to get a realistic
idea of just what the feelings are in France.

People here seem mainly to talk as though the Islam problem is new.
Many are not aware and the schools certainly do not mention that
Islamic armies have been invading Europe India and Africa for 1400 years.
The whole of the middle east by the year AD500 was Christian, Jewish
and Zoroastrian. After Islam was formed the Arabs invaded Mesopotamia
and introduced Islam at the point of the sword and the three options.
Where are the Jews and Christians of those countries now ?

Between that time and today there have been about 800 battles between
Islamic armies and European armies.
The most notable campaigns were the battles for Spain, Sicily and the
Balkhams.
The invasion of France was stopped at Tours by Charles Martel in 732.
Saudi Arabia is financing the building of a celebratory mosque on the site of the battle.
Does that tell you something ?
The invasion of Switzerland seems to have ended after the Tours defeat.
Many are not aware that an Islamic army invaded and occupied the Vatican.
They were driven out by Italian local provinces.
Rome itself was weakened by the Arab slave trader's raids that over
years captured about one million Europeans and sold them in the
African slave markets. That continued with raids as far apart as
the coast of Britain, Ireland and even Iceland.

The two invasions of Austria are better known as they were defeated
at the gates of Vienna the last battle in 1683 when Vienna was saved
by the arrival of a Polish Army.
People criticise those Eastern European countries for refusing moslem
immigrants, but can you blame them after being occupied by muslims.
