Foxy, I do not see the relevance of your post to my post.
It is the way it is and you can see it for yourself if you wish to look.
True up to about 5% we see the occasional shooting such as the
assination of the police accountant just because he walked out of a
police building. Those that supplied him with the gun, in a mosque,
are now residing in the Super Mosque with a heap of terrorists brothers.
If the plan to blow up the MCG on finals day had suceesded would your
attitude to my post be the same ?
Somehow I think it would.
Just be thankful that the plot to blow up the Etihad flight out of
Sydney failed because they did not not read the baggage weight limits.
Would your attitude be the same ?
Somehow I think it would.

Australia is a nation built by people from every part of this world; a strong, independent, multicultural nation.
Foxy,
The above are Penny Wog's words. They're not 100% correct because Australia was not built by people from every part of the world. By many yes, by all no.
There were no Somalis, Lybians, Syrians etc. people from the middle east dust bowls when the building of Australia was on in earnest. These nationalities began to show up when everything was in place. Probably close to 100% of them were Muslim who are now turning against the so-called civilisation that built this nation. They come from places with thousands of years of history from great people before them. They're not the descendents of the intelligent ancients, they're insipid blow-ins & all they achieved is conflict & rubble. Now, they're introducing this regressive mentality here.
Penny wong should have gone to the middle east instead of Australia.

Bazz,

How's your attitude towards Catholicism because of child
sexual abuse? How's your attitude towards the Irish - because
of what the IRA did? How do you feel about what the colonials
did to our Indigenous people? How do you feel about the mafia?
The Aussie bikie gangs, or the drug & crime syndicates? or football
hooliganism? or thugs who king-hit passers by on streets?
And the list goes on.

You can always attach hatred and labels to whoever you want!
It's strange that in this discussion
there's so much talk about "freedom of speech," but those
that profess to believe in "freedom of specch," are the ones
who attach labels when that speech or opinions don't agree
with their own - then people are given lables like- socialists,
leftists, Marxists, "do-gooders," and so on. Sad really.

Foxy, that is the weakest of all excuses.
Surely you can do better than that.

Indy,

You need to do a bit of research before you post.

The first camel drivers the Afghans
arrive roughly around 1860, and the Adelaide,
South Australia to Darwin Northern Territory railway
is named "The Ghan" (short for Afghan) is their memory.

Lebanese arrived from 1880, Syrians were first counted
in the 1891 census, 1920 and 1930 - Albanian
Muslims. The first mosque in Australia was built in 1861
at Marree, South Australia, The Great Mosque of Adelaide
was built in 1888 - and so on.

I can't be bothered looking up the various nationalities
because you can do that for yourself. However, you need
to remember that although our history books used to tell us
that "The First Fleet arrived. It brought 1000 English
convicts." It didn't. It brought 1000 convicts but
they came from a dozen different countries. As somebody
stated - "English jails were no respecters of nationality."
The first Italian arrived on January 26, 1788 -
Giuseppe Tuso. There were people from South Africa, from
Ceylon, from India, from Spain, from Portugal. from Hungary.
And so on. So when someone asks, :Do you believe Australia
should be a multi-racial society?" I usually reply that -
"It doesn't matter what I think, I can tell you what it is,
which is a society of tremendous diversity."

In some schools 90 per cent of the students speak a
language other than English as their first language.

Bazz,

So can you old chap. So can you!

You should be better than that!
