Hi HASBEEN...

If a Beirut style war were to occur here in Australia, do you think Muslim ADF personnel would be prepared to take-up arms against a fellow Muslim? Would they not be in direct conflict with certain tenets in the Koran? I really have no idea myself. I understand certain sects within Islam war among themselves, so it's probable if the right circumstances were to prevail, would they defend our country/their country, or turn on you essentially on religious grounds?

Somehow I don't believe an Islamic ADF member, would turn against his own platoon, particularly if he's actually deployed O/S with them. However many of my ex service mates of my era, have declared absolutely, they'd never wish to venture outside the wire with any of them, for any reason? Personally I'm not so sure, sometimes they'd be as loyal to you, more so than many others in the platoon? I really don't know? What do you think yourself, come a civil war?

The tin god himself proceeds to lecture another on the virtues of forum decorum. I can't stop laughing. Smiley Face with Cheesey Grin.

PAUL1405...Why don't you, give yourself a good uppercut, and then pull your cowardly little head in. Whoops, I'm so sorry I forgot, you're opposed to violence, of course you are especially if it might injure you? A real 'girls blouse' eh. "They call him mellow yellow" fitting lyrics don't you think!

Foxy,

" but not to the extent of Britain that has had multiple invasions through the centuries."

That's just a-historic rubbish. Sure Britain suffered multiple invasions over its history but to say that its exceptional in that regard is just plain wrong. Think of France/Gaul and the myriad invasions in its history. Or Spain. Or the Balkans. Or Hungary, Poland, Russia, China, Vietnam etc etc etc.

Its also not quite right to assert that invasion means an overthrow of the culture. There's very good and interesting history coming out of Britain that shows that these waves of invasion didn't change the culture of the ordinary Britons and that the invaders were eventually absorbed into the underlying culture. That is, current British culture is more like the old Celtic culture that Caesar found in 55BC than was previously imagined.

Foxy,
That is the attitude we're fighting the Left to rid ourselves of. The Left is the enemy of common sense & decency & all that goes with that. The war to fight the academic Left is only just starting to show fractions of signs of victory.
