Because many do not want to know and prefer to ignore it all.
They do not understand that there is a war in progress and if too many
want to just hope it goes away, well it won't, and we will find our
own country being like Europe, slowly submitting to Islam and Sharia Law.

I don't think that with such a small
percentage of our population belonging
to that group - this is or will be a
problem.

Australia is not the UK (nor it's clone)
and you need to stop comparing us to other
countries. We have done things differently
here and will continue to do so.

We are a diverse, varied and generally peaceful
nation that has by and large successfully
differentiated itself from other nations and part
of that success is because of multiculturalism.

Bazz may well not be fond of me, we differ on so much but in truth he is a bright man, far brighter than some things he posts here.
We will NEVER EVER have sharia law in this country Islam/Muslims are never EVER going to be in numbers big enough to controls us.
Their children,, like the children of every wave of migration, will in time assimilate.
In fact many already have,even rejecting the faith of their parents.
A war will be fought, much bigger much more intense, against radial Islam.
Islam will not win that war, changes may even come in that faith.
While the very lost, very right of reality throws chum in the waters, racial hate fear of difference, other bigger things get under our guard, consider who truly is hiding what from us behind the racist curtains?

Looks like some Muslims are pushing for more.

Muslims in Australia are asking for two public holidays for their two annual Eid celebrations.

A petition has been submitted to the Parliament of Australia asking for Eid Ul-Fitr and Eid Al Adha to be publicly recognized.

The petition says the Muslim community would like more time to celebrate. Thus far it has 2,468 signatures and is expected to be presented on October 15.

'The community feels they need more time to celebrate and want it recognized within the wider community,' the petition says.

The public holiday would fall on the Mondays following Eid Ul-Fitr and Eid Al Adha.

They also want the celebrations be recognized by the wider Australian community - not just people who follow Islam.

The Eid-al-Fitr is one of only two major festivals in the Islamic faith and sees Muslims give money to the poor and needy as an obligatory act of charity.

Dear Phillip,

Not going to happen.

We are a Secular State - and nobody is going to open that
Pandora's box. Where would it end?

Nope. They can ask all they want - not going to happen!

Foxy,
