Foxy, My point is the diversity of race is an advantage to Australia, we all accept its benefits; however some cults are not compatable, like scientology, Nazi, Communism, Islam.

We have a free and workable democratic society, cults like the above want to control freedoms of the individual.

Foxy, Russell would not like the Japanese or Polish society, as they are not culturally diverse enough for him. Are they safe societies?

I have neighbours that are Indian, English, Sri Lankan, Russian, Chinese, Scottish and mixed races and we all get on well and have street parties twice a year at Christmas and Easter. There is one family that does not join in and they are Australian born Jehovah's Witness. We all share diverse culinary supplies and foods for the BBQ.

Dear Josephus,

We also live in a very diverse neighbourhood - made up
of many cultures from Italian, Sri-Lankan, Chinese,
Macedonian, Yugoslav, Lebanese, Egyption, and Lithuanian.
And a few English. We get on very well and help each
other as needed. We judge people not by their culture
but by their individual attitudes and behaviour. We
lived and worked in Los Angeles for close to ten years
and sometimes we went to black-area shopping centres. We
never had any problems - despite the reporting in the
media about those areas.

I can only speak from our own experiences. I take people
as I find them.

//However there are places in Australia where cultural laws supersede or Australian laws in their society.//

Yes, you keep saying. But you never, ever say specifically where. It's always just 'places in Australia'.

I think if you're going to make things up, you should either work out the details beforehand or be prepared to wing it when questioned on specifics. It would seem you have done neither. I'm not a great liar, but mate, you're not even trying.

//no dogs allowed//

No, we've been through this one before, remember Josephus?

Dementia is an awful disease....

You claimed a few weeks back that a local government area in western Sydney with a relatively high Muslim population - Bankstown, I think, or possibly Blacktown... something-town, at any rate - that had banned dogs. And it was up to me to do the research you weren't willing to do to demonstrate that not only did that council permit residents to keep dogs; they were also allowed walk them (leashed) on the streets and exercise them in unleashed dog parks.

In other words, you were lying through your teeth.

//no alcohol//

Actually, that one is true... there are a number of dry Aboriginal communities. Pretty sure that's not due to their high Muslim populations, although I know you subscribe to some strange conspiratorial belief about all blackfellas being secret Muslims.

//no leaving the faith//

No. No, there are definitely no towns anywhere in Australia where it's illegal to convert from one one faith to another. That's just another lie.

//no intermarriage//

Once again, there are no towns anywhere in Australia where you're banned from marriage on religious grounds. Honestly, I don't know why you bother making this stuff up.

//Honour killings do occur in Australia.//

So do plenty of other domestic homicides which you haven't decided to give a silly euphemism to because they're not committed by Muslims. Silly euphemisms or not, domestic homicides are still homicides, and homicide is a crime. There is no jurisdiction in Australia where being Muslim is considered a defence for homicide.

Just stop lying, mate. It's tiresome.

Josephus,
Australia is a multi-racial country, we are not multicultural even though the term is commonly used. We expect all to obey our laws and social standards.

The problem we have is that some laws are not enforced as they should be because of weak politicians. For example polygamy, underage forced marriage and FGM. Polygamy is further complicated by the fact that we do recognize some multiple marriages that took place in other countries. In the case of underage marriage and FGM we simply turn a blind eye and/or give token sentences when offences occur.

There have also been rapes by former husbands of their former wives who claim they are still married under Islamic law. Thus our law is held in contempt.

We have even seen child sexual offenders given token sentences or cases dismissed on cultural grounds. We are being let down by politicians and the judiciary.

The rise of the far right extremist according to Islam, Why?

The dishonesty of Toni, who cannot accept Bankstown Council allotted parks especially for walking dogs; why? to keep them off the streets where Muslims live.
