Islamic fundamentalism, like the Protestant ethic, arises out
of specific social and cultural conditions

In the west it is the refusal of the general population to comply
with the sharia rules or prevents them from compliance.
They get very angry if someone calls Mohammad a pedophile or a
genocidal war lord.
The mildest reaction is for non-muslims to call you a Islamaphobe.

Many feel disconnected from our law and the Koran permits the murder
of someone who refuses Islam.
Some refuse to stand in our courts.
Their anger has led to murder many times.
Ask the Paris police.

Bazz,

Give it a rest.

You're coming across as a weirdo.
A nutcase.

All you ever do is complain and attack Muslims
online. Most rational people feel - I wouldn't want to
be friends with someone like that in real life.

We however seem to want to ignore we are asked to be nice and except behavior from a few, few too many, that would quite honestly see us murdered in the country they came from
Be honest , if some of us settled in say Pakistan Iran or Saudi Arabia, it surely is clear? we would have to live with in their rules?
So what if different for some who come here

Being nice hasn't done us any better in recent times than being not nice as some centuries ago !

Dear Belly,

So what is different from some who come here?

What is different is that we hold to democratic
principles. We are tolerant, and we have an
institutional framework, and the rule of law that
we expect ALL to abide by - those who don't will end
having appropriate legal action taken.

We are not a conflict zone and fundamentalists
amongst us are a minority.

Individual,

That's not true. We have grown and matured as a nation
and today most outmoded words and behavior is considered
no longer acceptable to most people.

It was not until the 1970s that the Ocker Aussie was
packaged for world consumption in films and comics, but
once done, the exaggerated image of "Bazza (Barry) Mackenzie"
became one which many Australians were no longer so proud of.

This critical self-consciousness had become more and more
apparent in the late 1960s, and forced both politicians and
the public to revise not only policies but also many of their
long-held and cherished notions about themselves and the
rest of the world.
