According to Augusto Zimmerman in The Spectator, our current Prime Minister, hoping to continue in that role for another three years, is contributing to the “diminished understanding of our national identity”.

This criticism is based on the PM's claim that our “founding fathers” revelled in 'diversity’ and 'multiculturalism’ - divisive dogmas that have only been around for about 50 years. Apart from his obvious faults, our PM is a history ignoramus. As a claimant to the Christian faith himself, Morrison should be aware that this country is founded on the “the Judeo-Christian culture of Western democracy which has given the world outstanding examples of freedom and prosperity”.

Nothing to do with multiculturalism which has brought people here who are not versed in Western values and who are, in many cases, opposed to them.

Multiculturalism “is basically an anti-Western and an anti-Christian ideology”, yet the person who wants to lead Australia is all for it - something that “promote(s) the complete deconstruction of the Australian cultural identity”.

Saying that Shorten would be worse does not excuse Morrison. We should not be encouraging either of these two people by voting for anyone representing them at the next election, if we value our country and way of life.

ttbn,

>democracy which has given the world outstanding examples of freedom and prosperity”.

Firstly, where did that quote come from?
Secondly, do you really thin there's a Judeo-Christian culture of Western democracy"? There seems to have been little, if any, Jewish influence in the establishment of democracy in Europe. Maybe there was in the USA, but I doubt that played much role in the founding of this country.

>Multiculturalism “is basically an anti-Western and an anti-Christian ideology”,
On the contrary, multiculturalism, where all people have the freedom to determine their own culture, is the quintessential western value, and as a Christian I strongly support it.

Talking about our national identity - I think that
the following lyrics sum things up rather well
for us all (Bruce Woodley - Seekers):

Ï came from the dream time
From the dusty red-soil plains
I am the ancient heart
The keeper of the flame
I stood upon the rocky shores
I watched the tall ships come
For forty thousand years I've been
The first Australian

I came upon the prison ship
Bound down by iron chains
I bought the land endured the lash
And waited for the rains
I'm a settler I'm a farmer's wife
On a dry and barren run
A convict then a free man
I became Australian

I'm a daughter of a digger
Who sought the mother lode
The girl became a woman
On the long and dusty road
I'm a child of the Depression
I saw the good times come
I'm a bushie I'm a battler
I am Australian

We are one but we are many
And from all the lands on earth we come
We'll share a dream and sing with one voice
I am you are we are Australian

I'm a teller of stories
I'm a singer of songs
I am Albert Namatjira
And I paint the ghostly gums
I'm Clancy on his horse
I'm Ned Kelly on the run
I'm the one who waltzed Matilda
I am Australian

I'm the hot wind from the desert
I'm the black soil of the plains
I'm the mountains and the valleys
I'm the drought and flooding rain
I'm the rock I am the sky
The rivers when they run
The spirit of this great land
I am Australian

We are onebut we are many
And from all the lands on earth we come
We'll share a dream and sing with one voice
I am you are we are Australian..."

Well Foxy it is a nice song and the vision it presents is good.
However we all know who does not believe it as they are intolerant of
other cultures and religions.
Anyone under threat of death that converts to their religion is
abandoning the rest of us to their oppression.

"Threat of Death ?" "Oppression ?" I can hear you saying but it is real
enough. Just watch what is happening in Europe, and what makes you
think that it won't happen here ? Answer that if you can !
You can see the early signs of officialdom backing off and trying
to soften our freedom of speech.
Note the difference in reaction to Christchurch and to Sri Lanka.

In Denmark a woman blogger who has anti muslim opinions has been
threatened with the removal of her foster child who she and her
husband has raised since birth for eight years.
The authorities would not threaten a muslim family like that.

No Foxy it is time to speak up and put some stuffing up the back
of our politicians.

No reentry for ISI terrorists, cancellation of citizenship and
deportation of anyone who objects.

It is time !

Dear Bazz,

I don't have a problem with what you're saying
regarding people who break our laws.They should
have the full force of the law thrown at them.

However the vast majority of mainstream Christian,
Jews, Muslims, and so on - modern people with normal
family and social relationships have rational views
of how the world works - they don't have the
theological minds of fundamentalists. We must keep
in mind that the religiously minded modern
person is not a "card-carrying"fundamentalist.
The "card carrying" fundamentalist of whatever faith
a psychologist would be likely to declare them
to be of unsound mind.

How do we as a country decide who to keep out - is
the question that needs debating. Because after all
fundamentalists are a tiny minority. Very, very sad.
and pathologically sick. I'm not sure how we solve this
problem. But it does need debating.

Foxy,

Muslims adhere to the Koran and that is the problem.

Get yourself a copy, read and study.

Free copies of the Koran, nicely bound and with gold embossed covers are free, on application, to the Saudi Embassy in Canberra.

Also free from other places and on line.
