Something happened in Sydney today that has angered me deeply: a riot by Australian Muslims. It is not their right to demonstrate that I question, but why and how they did so, and what it was over. And frankly, those who “love Osama” and call for beheadings in Australia should be thrown out of this country.
At the outset, can I just say to the lily-livered compassion babblers, bleeding hearts, assorted do-gooder types and the like who may have stumbled across this article to actually read it in its entirety before running off on the usual half-baked tangents that people in such groups are wont to do; in any case, I’m no less entitled to my views than they are, which is the whole point of this column.
And sometimes, a line has to be drawn.
Today’s riot in Sydney appears to have been some kind of rally on a “brothers in arms” basis that spiralled out of control; a local mob going out in sympathy with its brethren elsewhere in the world. The pretext — flimsy as it is — emanates from a film, made in America by a radical Christian group, and condemned by the US government and other governments across the world.
This film — reportedly produced by a US religious group called Media for Christ, and entitled Innocence of Muslims — is said to “mock” the Muslim religion, and according to a report from the Fairfax press portrays the prophet Muhammad as a womaniser and paedophile.
A small detail that seems to have been overlooked in the mad stampede of the hordes of rioters is that the film was made by a Coptic Christian from Egypt, who violated conditions of his parole on release from a US jail to do so, and who seems to have produced the film under false pretences and overdubbed the finished result with anti-Islamist propaganda.
(According to a report from the Murdoch press, the casting call lists the leading roles as George, Condalisa (sic) and Hillary, but in the finished version, the script was doctored to make them represent the Prophet Muhammad and figures from the Koran).
I’ve seen bits of the film, and it’s ridiculous: zero credibility, zero factual or intellectual basis whatsoever, and absolutely zero point in watching any more of it than the bare minimum required to see that it is utter crap.
So let’s get the most important thing into perspective first — contrary to the wild and delirious claims of today’s group and others like them elsewhere in the world, this was no state-sanctioned, anti-Muslim piece produced by the US government. This was the work of a group overseen by an individual, and not a very clever one at that.
Yet the whole point of today’s riot — as with the others that have preceded it elsewhere — was to protest against the US infidel and its alleged violation of the Muslim prophet Muhammad.
And this begs the rather obvious question: why the need to wreak pandemonium in central Sydney, if Uncle Sam is the target in the first place?
Don’t misunderstand me; I don’t think the Muslim riots that have gone on in the US and elsewhere are justified, either; but even if they were, Australia — by the rioters’ own admission — was not their target.
So why do it?
To be completely candid, I think the furore surrounding Innocence of Muslims is simply an excuse to cause religion-based trouble.
People have died in the riots that have been staged over this; indeed, in Sydney today many people were injured, including Police, who at one stage were pelted with bottles and other missiles by the rampaging crowd.
To be fair, the vast majority of the Muslim community — be it here in Australia, or elsewhere in the free world — are responsible and peaceful people, who obey the laws in this country and who do add to our society on account of their presence here.
However, there is also a faction of radical Islam that is not and should never be welcome; as far as I am concerned, today’s little stunt in Sydney represents an opportunity to round some of these people up and to get rid of them.
Residency and citizenship in Australia impose certain responsibilities in return for the privileges they confer upon the recipient. Responsibilities such as obeying Australian laws, respect for Australia’s system of governance and institutions, and participating in mainstream Australian society.
Australia has been very openly welcoming to people of Muslim faith, as it has to people of many other faiths and from a diverse range of nationalities.
But it annoys me to hear anecdotes that fast food outlets in parts of the country now stock only halal meats to avoid offending the Muslim minority; that sporting centres in Sydney are operating segregated facilities for men and women out of “respect” for Muslim patrons; and it infuriates me that any Muslim resident should dare to make the suggestion that Sharia law be adopted in Australia under any circumstances whatsoever.
Yet all of this — and many other occurrences like them — happen with increasing regularity; in return, we get the sort of violence occurring that we saw in Sydney this afternoon, staged on religious grounds that are at best spurious, and over an issue that does not involve Australia, the country these men now purport to call home.
Yes, young Muslim men — hundreds of them — marching through the Pitt Street mall, chanting slogans such as “Obama, Obama, We Love Osama” and carrying placards bearing slogans like “Behead All Those That Insult The Prophet.”
Can I just say that people who think and operate along these lines have no place in Australian society?
That people who want to run a jihad through the streets of Sydney have no right to be there in the first place? In Sydney, that is. Or in Australia at all.
And I must say that far from welcoming this type of lawlessness and anti-social behaviour, we should be jettisoning its perpetrators. We don’t need people like this in Australia, and they don’t deserve to be here.
One protester — identified in numerous reports as Abdullah Sary — claimed the mob had assembled in peace and “were disappointed” police used tear gas, which defies belief, given the number of riot police who were injured today by out-of-control thugs.
“This was a non-violent protest but people don’t like seeing their brothers attacked by dogs and ending up in hospital,” he said, which begs the question: did they expect to be allowed to rampage through Sydney unhindered?
Sary — who admitted that he hadn’t even seen the film that was supposed to be the reason for all of this — offered the justification that ”if you attack the prophet you are attacking our way of life.”
If today’s antics represent the “way of life” of these people, then it is to be hoped the NSW Police, in the cold light of day tomorrow, make good use of the ample television and CCTV footage that was recorded today to identify the ringleaders and other serious offenders, round them up, and hand them over to Immigration for deportation.
In fact, any of these people holding the citizenship of another country should have their Australian residency or citizenship rescinded, and be packed off to their country of origin — and barred from ever returning.
This is not the Australian way of life, and irrespective of the justifications or excuses proffered for their actions, what happened today cannot and should not be tolerated.
And at the end of the day, tolerance does not extend to accepting religiously based rioting in Australia.
To their credit, Prime Minister Julia Gillard and opposition leader Tony Abbott condemned today’s events, as did Greens leader Christine Milne; I’d challenge any of them to make an example of the people responsible for today’s riot, and to send to the rest the clear message that this type of misconduct will indeed be met with the starkest of consequences.
I’m the first to welcome anyone into this country who wants a better life, providing they come through the appropriate channels, and provided that once here they obey Australian law and observe Australian customs, and treat Australia as what it is to them: a new home, yes, but a place that has allowed them to escape from whatever it was they were on the run from when they left it.
What I will never support is attempts to transform Australia into something else — it is not a Muslim society, and never will be; nor can I tolerate the type of lawless violence, perpetrated in the name of peace but based on religion, that transpired in Sydney today.
And neither should anyone else in this country — do-gooder bleeding-hearted compassion babblers included.
Well said and heartily supported by two old folk in South Africa!
Could not agree more, We should not be changing everything to Halal or building rooms for muslim men and women infact we should not have to adjust ANY part of our culture or way of life to accomodate any person that comes to this country or ours. Why?? Because they came here we did not invite them.
Precisely. We do not need them here. Alas I feel this is only the beginning. We should not treat them like they are doing to us. It makes me mad when i went to school with people of other faiths , never did they demand anything of us. Get rid of these outrageous people and we should stop allowing any more into this country. Ms. Gillard wants us as a communist( as a former secretary of the party) country and giving these radicals a free ride. They should not get a red cent from us and should be out of here on the first plane leaving for their country of origin and if born here to the country of their ancestors.They have no alllegiance to this country only to their imam and most probably have never even read the Koran otherwise they would no behave as they are. We do not carry on when things are said about Jesus and its true that Mohommad married a 7 year old child called Asha but the jerk that made the video is a real idiot has no scuples as surely he would hav realised what these in some cases illiterate people would do with such a video. We are not responsible and neither is the US Govenment only a stupid few.
Actually yes the government did invite them here in the 70 s,shows you have no knowledge of the history of immigration ….
Using an excuse to break the law doesn’t make it justified.
No, it doesn’t, Teshi07, which is why I’m adamant something has to be done about this.
Something has to be done about this… as in prosecution through the courts according to the law. Or are we going to start deporting christians who incite hate, WAIT I’ve got it guys how about everyone who commits a crime is kicked out of the country. Drunk and Disorderly see you later, too many speeding tickets on your way mate.
Great article. As an American who grew up in the A.C.T, and whose father was a diplomat, I have to say that I am sickened by all of this. When I watched the News today and heard of the riots in Sydney my first reaction was to say, “Please deport them Australia,” so it was nice to hear you utter the same sentiments. Australia was a great place to live, and I made many wonderful friends who I am still in contact with, and they too said the same thing. Deport. I am with you on that.
Thanks Jennifer. It’s a sad fact we’ve got enough trouble with the people who live here without being forced to put up with this type of thing from people who are given a go here. Unfortunately this has happened once too many times, and I really do think it’s time to crack down on those who think yesterday’s goings-on in Sydney represent an appropriate method of “doing business.”
According to this logic all americans should be deported from australia because they support the Extremist Westboro Baptist Church, back to america you go Jennifer. Judging a whole population on the actions of a small percentage is abhorrent and one of the factors America finds itself the target of terrorist attacks.
The difference is that Westboro Baptist Church has never staged a riot and sent riot cops to hospital – they are just sad individuals with a message. Added to that no-one is proposing we deport the “whole population on the actions of a small percentage”. They want to judge the small percentage on the actions of the small percentage. Deport those who actually DID something and leave the tens of thousands who are just living their life alone? Seems like a….you know, LEGAL system to me.
If I lead a riot through Brisbane and bashed people then I’m pretty sure I’d be headed straight for prison. As should these people.
I think it was fairly clear that I was referring to the rabid protestors in Sydney not the entire muslim population of Australia. Cheap shot. You seem to condone terrorist attacks too. Uncivilized thug.
Well done . Put this in the local press
Thanks for the sentiment, Greg — if you wish to pass this on to others, I’m happy for you to do so.
Well said.
I totally agree.
As an aside, I can’t recall any Christian riots concerning the movie “The Life of Brian”!
Indeed, if this film was making fun of Jesus and a crowd of Christians acted this way (unlikely given the teaching ‘turn the other cheek’) I bet the criticism would be raining down. But the PC mush heads in power are being notably quiet about this little stoush between radical Islam and our country’s laws.
Very true…
Reblogged this on Iain Hall's SANDPIT and commented:
Very well put Yale, Sadly even if these rioters have foreign citizenship it would be hard to deport them however we can live in hope that a way could be found to invite them to leave.
This piece eminating from Australia, the penal colony with racism-provoking policies, is at it again. It is undeniable that Australia was, and still is, a racist nation.
May I say what a ghastly piece of substandard journalism this is. No doubt you were wating for such an event like this to occur. Your in-depth inept analysis is littered with propaganda, your attempt to pursuade the general public about your hidden agenda is disgraceful. Your piece is nothing more than a provocation – fuelling the flames of hate directed at the Muslim world. It is a well known fact that the vast majority of Convict Australians are indeed ignorant and lack perception about the history of the world and culture – particularly, when it concerns the Mid-East.
You lack the intellect, the decency and the understanding concerning the turmoil in the Mid-East crisis propagated by the masters of the Political/Military Western elites, meddling and occupying their countries. This includes: the Zionist media that partake in corporate greed, the Western strategy to divide and conquer the Mid-East, avarice, transgression, occupying Mid-East lands, and oppressing their people through their belligerent actions by dropping democracy bombs, killing and war – all this just for oil. And now, insulting their prophet.
You may argue freedom of speech, well, in that case, then why are people whether lay or experts are forbidden to speak about the Holocaust? People that even mention the Holocaust are banished from this world. (ie, David Irving and many others). So much for freedom of speech, and yet, you delibertaley neglect to raise that as an important issue – democratic right of free speech. I can only imagine, if this had been something on the Jewish faith on the Talmud which has some interesting excerpts, if you just comment the words from the Talmud about certain things, you would be persecuted. You would get attacked for simply reprinting what’s in the book with no commentary. Isn’t this limiting our free speech we have where we cannot talk about what actually is; and yet, demonising their prophet is freedom of speech.
Incidentally, unless you are Aborginal or Torres Strait Islander, then you are an immigrant. Australians (convicts or otherwise) should recognise Aboriginal Sovereignty. Did you forget about the dark chapter of the Australian history, and the inhuman treatment towards the Aboriginals that were perpetrated by the authorities and Convicts? Of course you did…
Allistair — I’m not going to argue with you, except to say that not only do I think you’re wrong, but you obviously haven’t bothered to read the opinion piece posted all that closely. Then again, I’m sure it doesn’t suit you to know it’s not all part of some Zionist conspiracy.
Some of us in this country don’t actually want the sort of thing that transpired yesterday to happen.
I have published your comment unamended so other readers are able to see it in full.
DEAR ALlISTAIR you are clearly English and not a happy one at that, nor well informed from afar .
your argument is flawed and anger misdirected – did an Aussie boy dump you ? you are very angry at an entire nation ; Australia…..
first of all , the penal colony ref you made was created by England – remember ? not we Aussies and the percentage of Australians who are decedents of convicts represent less than .1 of 1%. The latest census states that over 40% of Australian’s parents or themselves were not even born here let alone 200 years ago.
- the aboriginal issues you refer to were created by the English in their colonisation- we the citizens have been trying to clean up the mess YOUR COUNTRY created ever since and you statement ; ”
and my final point [ i could write 1000 words tearing apart your profound illogical and ill-informed diatribe] is that comparing aboriginal issues [that do exist and which both the aboriginal and ' white' community are committed to solving - its complex - not sure if you understand complex] and the issues with hardline and extremist muslims [advocating violence against women here just for wearing a bikini at the beach - amongst 1000s of atrocities Aussies have had to deal with over the last 20 years in particular] simply does not correlate , nor help either issue.
Your own comment : ” you clearly lack the intellect, the decency and the understanding concerning the turmoil in the Mid-East ” swipes an extraordinarily broad brush across all Australians and demonstrates precisely the type of intolerance we are railing against in sydney and is case in point as to why your ‘ sage advice’ above is even more hysterical and less informed than the piece of journalism you refer.
nice work ,you are historically incorrect, unresearched unintelligent , unhelpful, insulting [ but i dont want to behead you] and beyond hypocrisy when it comes to the ” integration’ and tolerance that has transpired in the UK.
i doubt you’ve ever been to Australia from your comments or if so i refer again to my original point – were you dumped by your aussie boyfriend ?
Hey Andrew,
am a pommie myself and agree with what you say,I live here in Oz and love it,love so much about the life here,people of all cultures live here and I think we get along really well,there is issues everywhere with different views but we are lucky we can express ourselves,was out today at the beach and heard boys and girls talking about niggers made me feel sad,have lived and worked all over the world and have not heard that word for years,and more shocking from young people,lets not pretend rascism in Oz is real but the people here are bright and positive,we have to stand together and grow together,come on peeps we can do this,love and peace to you all x
You stand on your history of English Imperialism & Colonialism, so obviously we were taught well from our mentors. You did not recognize Aboriginal sovereignty when you first landed.
Unlike many in the UK … inclusive of you … we Australians have learnt and apologised for our mistakes made to aboriginal people over a century ago. This is 2012, and the people of the UK are in fact convicts themselves. Look into your own history before criticising ours. We are far from racist, we are just protecting our way of life and our laws for all Australians, no matter their beliefs. Considering your more recent history of problems with Irish extremists and how hard you fought not to be over run by Germany in wwii ( with our help by the way ) these extremists are no better than Hitler and his Nazi’s. Difference is that are not taking the full onslaught approach. They are creating issues from the inside out. Westerner were asked to get involved in the middle east conflict. The crises was well under way before any western involvement. They were killing and fighting their own well before we came along. We just don’t want them bringing it here to our society and having any religion, dictate to us how to dress, behave, worship, or what laws to follow. No other religion in this country has ever been as demanding, threatening, nor racist to a country that has welcomed them to it. I don’t see any Muslims extremist exercising their right of freedom of speech in these forums or discussions because like the nematodes they are , they destroy from the inside out.
As an australian the “Convict mentality” etc is completely untrue, however your points about this piece being inaccurate, racist and full of propaganda is entirely on point, safe to say it is the belief of very few of us
First of all, I agree with what everyone else is saying. I am more inclined to more drastic measures but as we are in the 21st century deportation is the best way to go.
But I am really angry with how Allistair has just ragged on Australia for being racist towards aboriginals…. clearly you have never been to Australia and seen it for yourself.
You have not seen the riots the aboriginal community perpetrated towards our prime minister because of a mundane and legal comment by a police officer. Nor their burning of the Australian flag. And these are just national events.
My aunt was raped and beaten by 4 aboriginal men whilst walking down the street.
My work colleague has had to have a metal plate grafted to his skull due to being bashed by 20 aboriginals… and his girlfriend is half aboriginal. Their justification was because he was white. And the judge didn’t even charge the offenders.
So who are the racists in our country?
And England claimed Australia by right of conquest… Australia only has to recognise English sovereignty.
You’re just a plain idiot mate!
Alhumdulillah
Very well written article and would represent the views of 99.99% of the Australian community and law abiding Australians who know the true meaning of being an Australian citizen. One would think that those people that promoted this communal type of community violence would have violated their Australian Citizenship. Those perpetrators of violence that have accepted Australian citizenship and now abuse it should be stripped of their taxpayer benefits if they receive any, cancel their Australian citizenship, round them up and send them back to the place they came from. We don’t need these violent sorts of people in Australia as they will only continue to breed and promote their violent ways to demand what they want. Without a firm response, the signal will be that they can do it again and on a greater scale if decided by them.
So much for multiculturalism and tolerance. True Australian law abiding citizens should not have to tolerate this mob mentality and the violence that goes with it regardless of whether it is acceptable in Middle Eastern countries or not. Australia is not the Middle East or a Muslim country. This violence is a way of life that most honest law abiding Australian Muslims quite rightly appear to have denounced as criminal activity. This may be so but there are still sufficient numbers of this violent element that continues this type of activity in both Muslim and non Muslim countries throughout the world over and over again.
What should be of more concern to the 99.99% of law abiding Australian citizens who reject this violence is the apparent inability of Australian Immigration processes to properly assess the suitability of these violent people to enter Australia and become Australian citizens in the first place.
It is clear that our borders are not being properly protected and “some” of the people being allowed into Australia are clearly deceiving Immigration officials. One must also question the role of ASIO. I understand that ASIO’s role is the security and protection of Australia’s people and Australia’s territorial and border integrity from serious threats, such as espionage, sabotage, politically motivated violence, the promotion of communal violence, attacks on Australia’s defence system and acts of foreign interference. It is evident that what happened in Sydney in September 2012 fell within a category of promotion of a communal type of community violence. In response, our Federal Labor Politicians should be taking more decisive action by increasing their support for both the NSW State Police, Deportation Officials and ASIO, but will they!!!!???
Unfortunately a lot that participated yesterday were probably born here. It’s more distressing that they also refused to disperse unless those that were arrested were freed. That is illegal and a cause for the rest to be detained that refused to leave.
I can confirm that 99.9% of your percentages are 99.9% innacurate
Brilliant, well articulated and soundly reasoned. It’s sad that I’ve heard similar calls based on racial hatred, it’s good to hear the reasoned justification.
People will probably still call you a racist for this but who cares, reality is not prejudiced.
Hi Thomas, yes, I will be called all sorts of things (and, indeed, have just approved such a comment) but the thing is that you either call these things as they are, or they just continue on a larger scale.
And yes, I too have heard plenty of unreasoning and unreasonable calls of the type you mention. I think it’s critical to remember that there are an awful lot of good Muslim people who are quite happy to go about their lives without going out of their way to do the sort of thing some of the less desirable members of their faith did in Sydney yesterday, and elsewhere prior to that.
Yes, they have got to go. The arrogance and intolerance of, anything they are not in control of, is criminal. Not just unsavoury. They walk around like they own the place. These extreme Muslim youths are so offensive. They are feral and are just waiting to be lawless. Round them up and deport. And that is from someone who hates racism.
Gillard should seize the chance to win votes and deport these people. But alas we hav to go through the channels and let them roam free because of goddam political correctness. Wat about practical madness? That’s Wat leaving the ringleaders on Australian soil would be.
Saying “I hate racism” does not mean that your views aren’t racist. I hate offending people but your views are bigoted and inherently racist/xenophobic.
The moderate Muslims do nothing to stop the hard liners. They donate to the Mosques, they give them power and resources, and then try to disassociate themselves from the results. Then again, since it’s the death penalty for trying to leave the faith I guess they’re a bit stuck…
The moderate christians do nothing to stop the hardliners. The donate to churches, they give them power and resources, and then try to disassociate themselves from the results. Then again since it’s eternal damnation for trying to leave the faith I guess they’re a bit stuck…
Well said. I think we can generally say we all hate the really hardcore religious people and don’t mind the normal ones.
Well spoken mate, it’s a shame that such a minority of idiots fuel such a dangerous stereotype for a better majority. It’s ok to be angry, but who it is directed at and how has been gravely misplaced. I hope the law is just enough to punish those who spread violence and hatred in a country where people try to escape such terror.
It’s always the way Rob — a few rotten apples in every barrel, and so it is in this case. It’s the rotten apples that need to be weeded out and removed from Australia — not the barrel as a whole.
At the place of protest in Egypt, this cleric was doing this to the Bible.
http://www.aina.org/news/20120913204249.htm
This is so stupid- if the leaders of theirs are telling them to do this, then what will the ignorant ones do? It is all messed up and they are a bunch of rotten crowd indeed. Proud of my Christian teachings.
yep – now violent scenes in sydney yet Australian muslim “leaders” asking for tolerance stating it was only a ‘FEW HUNDRED’ bad apples. what a joke – how about tolerance being showed to us – it was only ONE bad apple on the other side of the world who made some dumb clip – now sydney city centre flooded with raging muslims protesting- incl children holding up posters calling for beheadings, inciting violence, being violent, and signs with ‘we love osama…’ days after sept 11 anniversary….. insanity!!!. they demand of us exactly what they are unprepared to do – tolerance ! beyond tolerance – they demand we MUST ABIDE AS THEY DEMAND OR DIE according to their placards in sydney yesterday – but now muslim leaders and their followers are DEMANDING more tolerance from us, after racist rapes against ‘ aussie skip sluts’, cronulla verbal attacks on women inciting the riot [ i did not agree with they response however] – just come to bondi beach [ near the life guard tower is where they hang and lsiten to the packs of muslims disgusting anti social, racist, violent behaviour every warm weekend !!! yet they demand more than tolerance, many demand COMPLIANCE from us.many now living here want a muslim global caliphate, sharia law but refuse to conform to our laws, commit ritual female mutilation and honour killings right here in australia against our laws!!! and now they advocate beheadings [ children holding those placards - it sickens me ] because 1 idiot on the other side of the world ‘ insults them’ – im a christian but respect anyones right to criticise Jesus. that doesnt phase me one bit – im not that insecure i have to kill you if you dont like my flavour of God. and that’s the guts of it – they do this in the name of their religion – great religion eh ? point is, a significant number/ % hate us, hate australia but love the free medical, schooling, welfare benefits, free housing after fleeing here because their own people [ not all] destroyed their own countries – killing each other – shiite against sunni – everyday bombings in syria, iraq, egypt, libya, algeria, lebanon, afghanistan, iran, yemen, nigeria, somalia to name a couple – etc etc etc – nearly all muslims killing muslims – insanity. DO YOU HEAR OR SEE VIOLENT PROTESTS AROUND THE WORLD ABOUT THE LATEST CAR BOMB OUTSIDE A SHIITE MOSQUE IN IRAQ ACTUALLY KILLING SCORES OF MUSLIMS – NOT JUST ‘INSULTING’ THEM ? ITS JUST AN EXCUSE TO HATE THE WEST – SO IF THEY HATE IT HERE SO MUCH THEN GO BACK BUT THE SCHOOLS, MEDICAL, HOUSING WELFARE ETC ARE TOO GOOD TO REFUSE – AND WHY CAN WE AFFORD THESE – BECAUE WE DONT RUN AROUND TEARING AUSTRALIA APART – NATIONALITIES FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD HAVE BUILT THIS COUNTRY TO THE POINT WE CAN PROVIDE THESE SERVICES- UNTIL NOW !!! western foreign policies have been shit for many years in these regions, but muslims are responsible for killing more of each every day other than the western allies ever did ! lets pull out of every muslim country – leave them to it – we just need alternative energy which is why the western political and commercial interests are there. we should should have developed alternate energy to oil 40 years ago but were held back by the US and UK oil industry oligopoly trading with the arabs – but thats another story….freakin cranky today after watching news this morning. so does that now make me am i racist ? i am asking myself that question for the first time in my life. if the classification is discrimination against people that scream for my countrymen to die for expressing contrary views on religion, support female mutilation and stonings and call my daughter a whore for wearing a bikini whilst surfing with her dad- then i guess i am now. not against muslims , but against those that support the above – sad but true………..AND HOW ABOUT THE MODERATE MUSLIM ” LEADERS” MAKE SOME F$%KIN NOISE WHEN SO CALLED ‘ FIRE BRAND CLERICS’ SPEW THEIR BILE ON THEIR VISITS [ OR LIVE HERE] MORE OFTEN – SHOW SOME BALLS MODERATE MUSLIM LEADERS IF YOU DONT WANT A BACKLASH AGAINST YOUR ENTIRE CULTURE LIVING HERE – THE GREATEST ONUS IS ON YOU – STEP UP OR STEP RIGHT OUT OF THIS BEAUTIFUL AND TOLERANT COUNTRY !!!! – SHOW SOME RESPECT AND HELP THE SOLUTION NOT BE TACITLY COMPLIANT WITH THOSE CREATING THE PROBLEM !!!!
STOP BLAMING THE WEST FOR WHAT IS IN FACT A WAR BETWEEN DIFFERENT FLAVOURS OF MUSLIMS….
So the US, considering their drone bombings on innocents in Pakistan, bombing afghani weddings, are a different flavour of Muslim? Wake up. Muslims are here to stay, because I’m as white as they get. British Australian. I’m a Muslim. I’ll curse the actions of the west even though I’m a westerner, because the collective heart of the Muslim Ummah is in pain. A feeling you, and any other non muslim cannot understand. Shia’s commit shirk. They have innovated on Islam (like the Ahmidiyas), and as such will reap the recompense of their actions.. whether it be from the Sunni’s or from Allah subhaana wa ta’ala himself. You don’t understand anything about the problems of the differences of Muslims. Not one iota. If you do not follow a Sunni path, The four main scholars (of which my beloved Abu Hanifah may Allah be pleased with him and grant him the highest level of Jannah), then you commit shirk. This is a major sin, and is to be punished AS A LAST RESORT. The Qur’an, The Ahadith are very clear that education and Da’wah to the true path is priority one, if they will not admit their sin then By Allah they are to be punished in this world or by Ar-Rohmaanir Roheem himself in the grave and in the hereafter. It suits the Muslim cause to kill them so they do not spread their lies. I support the Sunni cause, because I am an educated Muslim. I know my deen, I know my history, I know my science, I know my comparative religion, I know the seerah of the prophet, and from this understanding I understand that Islam is to be spread world-wide by the mercy of Allah, It is the Mercy of The almighty that everyone needs. He is our salvation from him himself.
And again. “If you didn’t study Islam, Don’t say anything about Islam” Dr Zakir Naik.
You can’t act as a GP without study, nor as an engineer without study, So clearly neither The Doctor nor the Engineer would put any value in your opinion. Why is Islam any different. You have no idea the level at which you must study, the time you must devote, the disciplines you MUST acquire to have even one clue what you are talking about.
Tahfiz, Tajweed, Aqidah, Seerah of the prophet, The four Imams, science, and above all Arabic. If you don’t read, speak or understand Arabic you can not understand Islam. The depth and richness of the language means an english translation is lacking none in one meaning, nor two, nor three.. one arabic word can be an entire english sentence. One arabic word can have 30 or more english translations. Without the all encompassing knowledge, You will gain no more than 5% of understanding on your own.. maybe 15-20% of being taught by someone on a level as basic as the educational standards acceptable here.
Ignorance is no longer bliss, It is as its called. Ignorance. Plain and simple.
Our agenda is of the highest level. Its is the Agenda of Allah Subhaana wa ta’ala. Yours is personal, or collective with your ignorant brothers and sisters.

You will read it and think you understand it. But walla, You don’t. This surah will be studied by real students of Islam for days, weeks. You don’t have Allah in your heart nor on your side, So you will never understand until you repent and gain His Mercy.
Allahu Akbar.
Islam is a crime against humanity, the sooner it is removed from the free world the better.
Islam should never be allowed to leave planet Earth, Islam should be baned from out space, keeping the stars free from stupidity.
To Allistair, Our history is dotted with English attrocities wiping out all native Tasmanians and many other aborigines not caused by convicts but English people who came here with thoughts of getting rich etc. Dont think that many people have convicts in their ancestry as a lot died or went back to the UK and others settled down to lead far better lives. Look at your own past when you even murdered a king. Look what you did in Ireland and India so do not speak about us here when many are not what you are making us out to be. As for being racist we have welcomed many people from many different nations and do not drive gypsies off vacant land like in the UK. As for the Holocaust I do not recall anyone mentioning that it did not happen and as a matter of fact two of my best friends are Jewish and a former friend of my mother’s had a tattoo done by nazi germans because of her Jewish beliefs and have never been told to deny it happened here that the Holocaust was non existent. You are living in a dream world if you think that because we do believe in freedom of speech not violence to prove a point we are against the Jewish nation. If you think we lack the intellect etc about Middle East Affairs you are decidedly wrong. The turmoil is a matter of fact but since these Muslim extremists behaved so badly and even hurt police and others that we should tolerate them and their actions you obviously have no concept of radicalism.
Well written. I feel it’s all in the master plan of the extremists to create civil unrest here as it has in the country of origin, and its working. Unless government officials make a stand on this sort of behaviour and make an example of these people to show it will not be tolerated, I fear they will succeed. The ‘ she’ll be right mate ‘ attitude just isn’t going to work. This extreme and unfounded, and in most cases unrecognised form of islam/muslim religion is the only form of religion, or should I say under the guise of a religion, that has ever been so problematic in a country that has embraced all religions and cultures with open arms and acceptance. Make a stand Australia.
I think that all writers have expressed their distain for the Sydney muslim riots very well, with the exception of Allister from the UK who is obviously a muslim with the same rage as the rioters (perhaps he is the local riot organisor in the UK). The whole thing seems to me to be a bit of a storm in a tea cup don’t you think?? Who in their right mind would riot because of a low brow movie that was made by some non-descript, dumb ass jerk, thousands of kilometres away?? I however, think that there must have been more behind the event in Sydney. Was it staged to show the power that the muslim community can bring to bear when ever & wherever they so desire?? Disrupt the peace, cause concern, set the stage to critise Australians for being heavy handed & racist????? Stupid polititcions have passed laws against racism. Muslims can & will use those laws against christians no matter what colour they are. Those same laws also prevent the government from kicking them out of our wonderful country. There is no such person as a peaceful muslim, they obey the their spiritual leader or die, no ifs or buts or maybes. They have already made overtures to have Shari law introduced in Australia, mark my words some dumb ass pollie will see its introduction as a vote winner & bingo we will all roue the day.
Well done Yale it is a pity that someone with the power to do something about this fetering sore won’t do anything about it. Look how long it took them to reopen the off shore processing centres!!!
Agree with you 100%.
I’m from Brisbane and the fact that these people can come here and cause issues such as this based completely off of something that they ‘believe’.. Grow up.
Deport them and Barr them from ever returning. This isn’t a lawless third world country. We DO NOT have to put up with their primitive, violent ways.
What are the Laws concearning deportation of citizens/residents that don’t abide with the relevent statutes?
Hi James, not sure what your question is — laws and statutes effectively being the same thing?
I’ve spent most of my life in st.george area & I’ve been subject to their cowardly gang attacks,racist abuse & general intimidation.it is only the start.i wish we were not so divided and come out and call a spade a spade.mostly Lebanese men who seem to have an intense inherent hatred for the Anglo.my school life was intolerable as a result of these types.they’re all grown up now and continue to spew forth their own frustration on the rest of us.they have no reasoning as their parents have instilled most of their attitudes.i fear much worse if something not done.who’s country is this.
Great news report. Almost correct, however after 2years of fighting for my right to SAY NO TO BURQAS and reading the Koran, hadiths that create the islmic Suna and enforced by Sharia. These so called muslim extremist are nothing more normal muslims following their islamic rule book to the core.
Ahadith, firstly is the plural form of Hadith, As the addition of an S to a word is the english plural form which simply cannot be applied to an Arabic word. Secondly The Qur’an does not “create the islamic Sunnah”. Thirdly to say that the Ahadith “create the Islamic Sunnah” is also incorrect, as the word Sunnah means recommendation and advice, and is applied in the form “The Sunnah of The Prophet Muhammad” Salallahu Aleihi Wa Salaam. Fourthly, It is not “The Islamic Sunnah”, as should be clear simply by the third point but people generally need be spoon fed when they attempt to speak of things they have no real education in.
To say “Islamic Sunnah” is to say the advice or recommendation of Islam. There is a distinction, As Fiqh encompassing all areas of disciplines in Islam (which while vastly important is not directly applicable in providing you with correct information in place of your assumption of knowledge and seems frankly a little out of reach for you at this point considering that your short comment was entirely wrong and is simply an opinion formed on what I can confidently say would have been a shallow study using materials from anti-Islamic websites, pre and/or proceeded with the authors opinion of interpretation on subject matters that are only truly to be understood by one who is fluent in Arabic and is an actual student of Islam) will be absolute about what is fardh – Obligatory – for Muslims. Whereas The Sunnah of the Holy Prophet Salallahu aleihi wa salaam, the greatest of mankind that ever was and ever will be, The FIRST man who will enter into Jannah and may Allah Subhaana wa ta’ala grant him The Highest Level of Jannah (paradise), are derived from his speech and his actions, which are recorded extensively in the Ahadith collections, Which will be ultimately (after a lengthy process which is the science of the Ahadith, (one of many disciplines I mentioned earlier) rated on four levels Sahih – Sound, These are basically authentic based on the very specific criteria under which they are scrutinised. Hasan – Good, These are accepted to be of known narrators who understand the Hadith, they are unambiguous. Da’if – Weak. Narrator may not be trustworthy, may be ambigious and then could contradict a Sahih or Hasan hadith etc. Maudu’ – Fabricated or forged. Usually would go against the nature of The Prophet Salallahu aleihi wa salaam, his usual sayings, contradictory, narrator could be a proven liar or to have a weak memory etc. Without doing a google search you probably have no idea of the size of the collection of Ahadith, and I’m sure you don’t know the scholars either. There is no way you have read all of the Ahadith that emphasise The Law of Allah subhaana wa ta’ala, and indicate the Sunnah of the prophet in relation to what you have deduced by means without substantiating knowledge to be The Muslim actions based on creed, law and The Sunnah of the Holy Prophet Salallahu aleihi wa salaam.
The Sunnah of Sadiq, Beloved Rasool Salallahu aleihi wa salaam is not a part of Shariah. As I explained before, It is the recommendation. There is no sin upon a Muslim who does not perform The Sunnah of Allah’s Final Messenger, there are simply greater rewards for those who follow it. Most Muslims do, I certainly do. We seek to emulate the greatest man that has been and will ever be, As it is his recommendation to do so to gain Allah Subhaana wa ta’ala ‘s pleasure and mercy.
On to the modesty in Islam, and the sacred state of women in Islam. To say you have a right to ban the Burqa (Abaya, hijab and Niqab, I already know you are ignorant of much) is to say that you have the right to force a women to expose what Allah subhaana wa ta’laa has ordained be covered, protected. The ‘Awrah. That is the most arrogant statement, and I hear it all the time. You do not even know WHY a woman wears it. I have just told you. It is because a womens beauty is sacred, a woman is to be protected, A woman is to maintain her modesty and we do this of our own will, first and foremost as everything a Muslim does to please Our Creator, but also because we want to cover ourselves. We do not want to be leered at by neanderthals, Any woman who enjoys such attention has a sickness in her heart. She has a need for external influence to feel confident in herself, to feel good about herself. Women who have Allah subhaana wa ta’laa with them feel pleased with Allah, and blessed by Allah and as such do not require such vulgar attention. Do not say you have a right to ban a woman from covering herself, concealing her beauty and saving it for the sanctity of her marriage. You do not have a right to tell women to dress in a way so as to show parts of themselves that they do not want to, just as you have no right to tell a typical western woman to walk around naked.
School is out, Class dismissed.
The only point you need to understand is that you can Blar,Blar,Blar as much as you like, however it does not make you right on anything you say or state. Your view point is only your view point, The Koran is a man-made book of horrors. Muslims can keep killing Muslims every day in there backwards countries, just keep your B.S out of the free world.
I still have not seen my last post????
Islam is a crime against Humanity, and you will see this slogan become main stream over the next year.
Beat the rush become a Buddhist, join the human race!
Alhumdulillah Ar-Rohmaanir Roheem
This was not simply my view point neither certainly was not blah, blah, blah. (An educated person would have read with interest, and before anyone says they are not educated I will say that the Author of this article would most likely not disagree on that point) They were statements of fact on and in Islam. You made incorrect comments on matters on that which are not contained within the area where we can simply have opinions alone. We can have opinions of factual information, The information itself is not the object of the opinion, it is the subject. You can believe what you want on what are situations whereby all parameters of opinions can be neither correct not incorrect. You spoke incorrectly. Contextually, you wrote as if you were delivering factual information, which you were not. You were giving your uneducated opinion (you are uneducated on Islam, I am not applying this in a form any larger than this) on matters that have been accounted for, that we have written record of ergo whether or not you believe Islam is a true religion or not has no weight in your statement.
As I am sitting here right now we can both understand that Islam exists as a religion to Muslims, As Buddhism exists to Buddhists. (In fact, as muslims we don’t deny all other religions as other religions do, we acknowledge of that which we can be certain of, and can only speculate on the rest through interpretations that will differ, through historical and religious cross referencing etc. Allah subhaana wa ta’ala tells us in The Holy Qur’an that a prophet was sent to all nations. We have certain knowledge of some nations, we have certain knowledge of Prophets (peace be upon them all) by name, some without names and some that are simply mentioned to have existed so as a Muslim, we can have opinions on what are points of speculation or conjecture, not on that of which we have certain knowledge. It is not an impossibility that Buddha was not a prophet and that it was not an incorrect religion for specific people in a specific time, and who were the Sumerians drawing about? etc) This is the point that if you understand, you will begin to learn how to discern between opinions and information. To be basic about it, if it has clear cut answers, if it is collective information, written record etc then opinion is applied on the answers, opinions themselves are not the answers. When there is no answer, when all opinions can be correct (so to speak, we cannot be so arrogant as to say we can know anything 100% within parameters of opinion, not a single one of us)
According to the facts in and of Islam (a point in which there is no way to substantiate this specifically as an area of belief, Beliefs are applied outside of this, and in fact you can have a good idea of what I mean if you draw a circle inside it write “facts of the religion” and on the outside “the idea of the religion” itself)
Your reply is testimony to the fact that you don’t know what you’re talking about, because when faced with my reply, of which the subjects were entirely on the basis of your comments, all you did is took a big step outside of that circle I told you to draw because you know you cannot compete against me within it (as I have taken 3 lines, and demonstrated how little information you have and how much I have), all you can do is tell me I believe in a false religion and give me your opinion. Thats fine, I am not worried about your opinions, Where I find it and when I see fit I will endeavor to give the correct information in place of the incorrect information.
I have barely scratched the surface of my own opinion here, But my own opinion is far less important than the factual information I have to offer. It is not opinions based on limited knowledge and the stigma of the natural mob mentally of the human condition. (Yes, as the rioting Muslims fall under this, so do the people who come out in collective to voice their opinions and opposition, understand I am not saying that each carries this out in the same way or even putting a limit on how many ways there are, simply that they are both the same underlying condition)
I need not comment any further on your reply, because on this issue I am inside that circle you are clearly never coming in. There are some great Islamic ideas in Buddhism, as in most religions. You will even find Islam in the stories of the Aboriginal dream time. In my opinion, testimony to well.. The Islamic testimony of faith. Testimony that Allah is what he means.
Allahu Akbar!
My Parents migrated here from Italy over 45 years ago – they chose to come to Australia, because of the many opportunities available to them, which had been taken away in their homeland because of the war. They wanted their future children to live in peace & have the comforts that they never had. My Mum & Dad took the oath & swore allegiance to their new country.
They told their children stories of Italy; Of growing up in a beautiful country rich in history & culture & taught them to be proud of their mixed heritage. They worked hard, built a wonderful life for their family in ‘Os-traaa-liyaa’ & instilled in their children respect & loyalty for the wonderful land that is Oz. The Grandchildren smile, when their Nan says ‘Mate’ or ‘Fair dinkum’ in her European accent.
Watching the riots on Television, my Mother shook her head in sadness – unable to comprehend the hatred emmanating from the young protestors & the ignorance of their parents, for instilling this inside their children & she commented,
‘Don’t they know how lucky they are to be here? If they hate us so much, why don’t they go home?’
I think there are hundreds of thousands of immigrant families like your parents, Angela, who find what happened on Sunday incomprehensible; we’ve got the best immigrant tradition in the world in Australia — it’s a huge part of what we are as a country. What happened at the weekend is a disgrace. I agree with your sentiments as do, doubtlessly, millions of others; I’m not heartless, but I really do think that if this is how people want to behave when they come to this country then they don’t belong here, and should be sent back.
Angela…. that is a great quote from your mother. I wish we could print that on every national paper. Because that is really the solution to the problem.
An eyewitness of what happened said: “I think that if the police had left the protesters alone they would have marched, chanted and prayed in peace. Instead, the police goaded the protesters, in particular the youth, and so the police are responsible for the clashes that took place.
Their use of pepper spray and truncheons was extremely aggressive and unprovoked. There was no need to surround the rally and charge the protesters and there was no need for the police to come out in such massive force.”

The media zoomed in on the most outrageous placard. This has been whipped up to incite more hatred. My main point is why did the NSW police act so aggressively to a peaceful protest with some offensive placards? After all, placards calling Gillard Bob Brown’s whore at ACT protests did not provoke an attack by police. Why should this protest be treated differently?
And the movie that started all this outrage was a complete provocation itself (as this commentator has fairly noted), written, produced, and directed by Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, an extremist anti-Muslim Egyptian-American Coptic Christian in his mid fifties. Nakoula is a felon convicted in California on bank fraud charges, for which he received a suspended 21-month sentence and was fined $790,000. The film was a deliberate attempt to fabricate the life and history of Islam’s major figure by mocking his life and depicting him in the most offensive manner: irrational, liar, crazy, filthy, coward, killer, thief, slave-trader, philanderer, pedophile, sexually deviant, while his wives were portrayed as ignorant, prostitutes or sexually enslaved. Not that this justifies violence, but I am sure many Chrisitians would protest a film portraying Jesus this way (which Life Of Brian did NOT). According to press reports the low budget movie was filmed last year and starred sixty actors who recently released a statement stating that they were never told that the movie was about the prophet Muhammad. They also maintained that most of the offensive language was later dubbed over their images. Screened last June in a Hollywood theatre the movie was a flop that barely registered on anyone’s radar. The producer then contacted another Egyptian-American extremist Copt, Morris Sadek, 70, who for decades has led an anti-Muslim campaign in the U.S.. Nakoula asked for his help in promoting and distributing the film. According to the Associated Press, Sadek then contacted his friend, Florida Pastor Terry Jones, who is infamous for his calls to publicly burn the Qur’an. Their contacts in the media beat it up from there. Major religious scholars and groups across the Muslim world issued strong statements of condemnation and called for peaceful protests. They did NOT advocate violence. In the hope of further stirring the pot, Nakoula, the producer of the vile film, duped the Washington Post and the Wall Street Journal in two separate interviews as he concocted a story that he was an Israeli-American collecting Jewish money in order to produce the film. So there is a considerable effort to whip up violent responses here, and it is not a simple black-and-white issue. Nothing justifies violence, but the question is why did this happen?
Elena, I think your eyewitness was watching a different protest to the one everyone else did…
However, you are right about the production of the film — the “false pretences” I mentioned. The guy’s parole conditions included stipulations that he didn’t go near the internet — clearly he did — and the actors in question were under the impression they were playing figures from the Bush administration, but the work was later doctored.
And were you an eyewitness, Yale? More than 100 police were sent in against a protest reported as about 200 strong. Police kettled the protesters, they used pepper spray, they hit and knocked people to the ground. This was not in response to anything in particular, except for the fact that the protest was occurring. Some highly offensive placards? yes. Does this merit a flogging by police?
ELENA
- you immediately prefaced your diatribe with this – i quote you :
” This has been whipped up to incite more hatred. My main point is why did the NSW police act so aggressively to a peaceful protest ”
” peaceful protest ” ?
incitement for beheading [ amongst many things including violence ] is not [ and legislated against] ‘ peaceful.

SO DONT TELL ME – AND THE REST OFTHE WORLD THAT LIVES HERE TO BE TOLERANT – AS WE SAY IN OZ – PULL YA FKN HEAD IN OR FK OFF.
I’m not a Muslim, I am a daughter of refugees who fled nazism in Spain. Your diatribe of hate is exactly why we need to think before we knee-jerk react, or we will continue a spiral of hatred until we do have scenes in Australia as bad as those overseas. I don’t like the placard and I don’t encourage it, but the cameras zoomed in on the most offensive placard, as cameras always do, to whip up the sort of hysteria you are responding with. The police over-reacted and that’s what sparked the violence. It’s not the first violent protest in Australia, or have you forgotten when the miners and steelworkers smashed in the doors of Parliament House in Canberra in response to job cuts? Think before you run off at the mouth.
Anti-Islamic ideas are as subliminally sent out to the dull masses as much as they are outwardly and openly. “The new world order” is real, But as beloved Muhammad conquered in his battles and did the work of Allah, Allah will place his favour on our Ummah when those who have strayed return to the straight path. As a New-zealand born, British citizen, permanent Australian resident revert to Islam I do not support unjustified terrorism. From neither Muslims Nor any else, particular reference here to the US who are drone bombing Afghani weddings, innocent Pakistanis and have the nerve to call Muslims terrorists and themselves “liberators”. Never heard of what they are doing with their drones? not surprised, Western media isn’t blind to it, it simply doesn’t suit the agenda. None but Allah has the knowledge of who has committed major sin, and who has faught in the name and path of Allah. Elena has sent a very important message. Don’t be so naive as to believe that an iceberg is simply the tip above the water. Free Masons, Illuminati. Shaytan, the whisperer, is the easiest voice to hear and his is the easiest path to follow. Our main Jihad is against our own ‘fitrah’, in case anyone thinks Jihad simply means holy war or fighting in the name of Allah, Simply read the Hadith of the Prophet Salallahu Aleihi Wa Salaam where he says the best Jihad and most difficult Jihad is the one of our own evil inclinations.

I have a convict heritage an am proud of it.
My Grandparents, farther, uncles and cousins fought in both wars and help build the country that we live in today. Have you thought of how different our country would be if we lost any of these events and did not stand up for our own beliefs. Some of the comments from others have touched on when we first landed in Australia, I hope they realise that we were brought here by the English, chained and flogged and stuffed in the hull of ships. This was not a pleasure cruise. Australians, all Australians have changed this country to make it what it is today.. With migrants coming from around Europe and Asia, Australia evolved and at no point did we have riots based on religion. Can anyone name another religion in this day and age that has such a radical belief and demands nations change their own values to cater for this belief?
I agree with one of the other articles, we should (all western countries) leave the middle east, oil is not a reason to stay, let them sell the oil to each other, this would last until they realise they don’t have any money and not much more to export than oil..
Allistair – do realise how much money is sent from western countries to the middle east to support their communities even before you look at the money gained by the middle east through trade with the west.
Most of the rioters in Sydney were more than likely born in Australia and have never lived in or been to the middle east, which sadly means they are being taught this radical view against the west people and groups that also live in Australia. The vice president of the muslim community
in Sydney spoke on radio this morning and said – a film was that mocks our belief by the WESTERN WORLD – even this man could not say that ONE man in America made a film.
On the news last night we watched a seminar featuring speakers against the western community vowing that they will never be part of our society which was endorsed by all attending.
We do not need these people in our society, is it wrong for a community or a nation to voice their disapproval of this view.. No of course not…If they don’t want to be part of our western society than they should stand up for their beliefs and leave…which they will not do because living in Australia and living in the middle east is very different.
I believe like most of you, round them all up and send them back
Stop the seminars and the anti western teachings being held within Australia
Stop the funding and bring our soldiers home
Leave the middle east, let them fight their own wars, they Hate the western society and Blame all of their problems on us, so leave it to them to sort out and leave them in the middle east.
I agree to have the soldiers sent back home. Australians and the rest. They have no business there. But make no mistake, We are converting, we are spreading and may Allah subhaana wa ta’ala, Ah Romaanhir-Roheem, Maliki yawn ad deen, spread The Muslim Ummah as rapidly as the filth of this Dunya spread their STD’s and HIV. It will spread only so far, as people like the author and the majority of the commentators are destined for Jahannam. The hereafter is forever, Consider what you would rather for your ‘Ruh in the hereafter.
Allahu Akbar.
The article seems to imply that most of the rioters are recent migrants, who could be identified as such and deported. That may be not the case. There is marginalised Muslim minority in this country. They do not heed their community nor religious leaders’ advice. They are radicalised because of their maladjusted position in the society caused by low education, unemployment, etc. This is a social problem of other parts of our society too. It is just unfortunate that Muslim marginalised groups are being easier organised along the religious line. Australian Muslim community should make more efforts in integrating themselves into the society and get more involved in work with their own marginalised members to steer them clear of radicalisation, help them with the integration. I fully support the author’s point on ‘political correctness’ doing a bad service to us all. Though, as a society, we respect everyone’s right to confess any religion, we should not change the secular base of the society and start adjusting our secular lifestyle to accommodate contrasting or competing demands of many religious denominations, Islamic or otherwise. I do not like the idea of having to bow to any prejudices of any religious faith. The more we yield to the pressure of demands from religious followers to change the way we live, the more dissent and rift we cause in the society.
I’d be interested to know your background Roman — from your writing style it sounds like you may have experience of some of these issues (if it’s possible to ascertain that from the written word!) I think I see where you’re coming from — you make some good points here.
I don’t agree with the reason you give for “radicalisation (low education, employment etc) — I think people should take a bit more responsibility and try other ways to improve their lot than joining radical groups and causing the sort of trouble that happened in Sydney at the weekend, or worse. And remember there are also a lot of non-Muslim Australians who are unemployed and poorly educated who don’t go around rioting and so forth. I do, however, think you make a very good point at the end of your post; I think this is a large part of the problem. Thanks for your comment.
I am a first generation migrant not from a Muslim country. I’m an atheist. What prompted me to write the comment is a trend I observe in this country and the country I’ve migrated from: minor extremist incidents become major ones over time, as left not addressed properly by working with the root causes; in the process certain % of the populace develop hatred towards all representatives of the minority group. I do not want that to happen in Australia.
…and I think you’ve neatly summed the problem up. I think you make good common sense. Unfortunately, you were also right to recognise in your earlier point the issue of political correctness; as you would know, it’s basically illegal to do anything other than let minorities do whatever they like — and when they do something bad, you’re a racist for saying they did something bad. I think your view of the situation is spot on.
Totally agree.
I am tired of all the excuses by Muslims of how bad they are being treated, how they have no opportunities, how society is marginalising them etc.. etc..
I myself came to this country more than 30 years ago with ABSOLUTELY nothing. My parents and I were political refugees from the War in Indochina in the ’70s. We lived in a camp for years before we were lucky enough to be accepted as refugees by Australia.
My parents worked hard, learnt English and taught me that I must assimilate in the country that was kind enough to accept us.
I was taught that as later arrivals it is up to us to fit in with Aust society, not the other way round.
Yes, there are racists in this country – there are racists of all flavours everywhere. I used to cop my fair share of abuse, that is nothing new. I still cop racial abuse – so what?
Every single religion has their crackpots and nutheads. Do the Buddhists go around murdering everyone who mocks them? Do the Christians go around killing everyone because of the film “The Life of Brian” or the piece of crap that was supposedly Art called p – - – Christ? Why do the Muslims always threaten to kill or behead people when some nuthead does something against their faith or prophet?
And that’s the other half of the story, isn’t it Linda? Everyone else who has come here — from your part of the world included — doesn’t seem to have too much trouble getting along with everyone else…I agree with you.
Thanks for your comment. It’s been a surprise to find just how many people have read this particular article and have made thoroughly reasonable points from completely different perspectives…
Muslims are quite defensive of ‘Isa, Jesus peace be upon him, which I’m sure you don’t know. Muslims really dislike that he is the son of god and he is god and he the holy spirit and god is the holy spirit when clearly Jesus himself says there is none to be worshipped but thy father… Why dust though callest me good, there is none good but the father. Its endless, Muslims love Jesus, peace be upon him, too. Muslims love all the prophets, may allah be pleased with all his serverts, But Muhammad salallahu aleihi wassalam was the last and final messenger, and the best of mankind that ever was or ever will be. And it is a testimony to the unwavering love of our deen that has us defend more fervently our book, our teachings from Sadiq, beloved rasool and The one god. Why are other faiths less confident of themselves? because they are riddled with lies, dillusions, innovations, omissions, additions. Why was the gospel of barnabas removed? because it mentions our rasool by name. Deceit has been created by deceitful men in history, which is why the qur’an has divine protection. It is as now as it was then and atleast 3 million people worldwide have memorised and if they recite together they recite the exact same thing, down to the very specific pronunciation of the arabic sounds. We love our deen, The one god and the prophet who founded Islam more than anyone else loves anything in their religion. Love is a powerful emotion, and it causes people to do stupid things. But a stupid thing in the name of Allah out of love for him above everything else is better than sitting back and doing nothing.
Well done Yale. Brilliant article. It is a sad reality that it wont be long til the Muslims will have the majority on this planet. They breed like rabbits. Unfortunately these filthy putrid extremists are using democracy against us. It makes me wonder whether its time to start asking whether democracy as a concept is flawed. As for this Allistair cretan from the UK… Worry about your own back yard before you snipe from 10,000km away.
It is an atrocity that what Eric says is frighteningly true – the Muslims are set to take over whether it be by force (their preferred measure) or simply breeding out every other culture.
We are sitting back and letting them because everyone is too scared to be labelled a racist or other such ludicrous term for simply making these lunatics abide by our laws.
Andrew Bolt did an incredible show on Sunday and was not afraid to state that perhaps it is time to restrict Muslim immigration ( I would prefer it stopped altogether) until the ones who are here assimilate…good luck with that one.
They do nothing to enhance this great Country, in fact, as evidenced in Sydney, are intent on bringing us down.
The Italians and Greeks, the immigrants of yesteryear, worked hard and made their way in Australia as law abiding citizens.
Yes, many of the older folk didn’t learn English, but the youth became Aussies through and through.
I attended school with many in southern Sydney during the 70s.
Just remember this “Every Muslim may not be a terrorist, but every terrorist is a Muslim.”
Lets just establish some facts before coming to the conclusion of the Muslim world domination. From wiki:
1. Total number of Muslims in the world population is 23%
2. Total number of Muslims in Australia 2.25%
So the reality doesn’t support the claim they are taking over the world, Anthony. What makes them different from lots of other religious people is they are vociferous and some of them are militant. Having said that, I still think that we should not confuse the loud minority with quiet majority. We have our fare share of Muslims in Adelaide. They are just like any other category of migrants. I personally know my son’s Muslim friend’s family. Apart from saying they are hard-working people who want to succeed in this country and give their children the best chance they can, I have no negative things to say. I’m not trying to tell that everybody is like them but neither is in any other community in this country.
Roman most Muslim extremists will tell you that exactly what they aim to do… have all countries follow shari law. Many have been heard saying that Australian women will have to learn to have more babies like Muslim women so they to can contribute to the growing numbers. That they will bare many children to teach shari law and the teachings of Islam.
@TJ, the intentions could be as grand as they wish but that doesn’t mean we should take them seriously, does it?
Pay attention to the series of events. There is much that we do not know about this event and some that has been ignored.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_Sydney_anti-Islam_film_protests
Yale, your article has certainly seen some varied & diverse opinions being put forward, all signs of a subject well presented. Apart from the crap which flowed from people like Allister, Tonic & the like, there are a number of points put forward that are extremely note worthy:-
1. All cultures living in Australia need to co-exist in harmony with each other, there being no tolerance here for extremists and yes, if they are new to the country & act in an extremist manner endangering the public & or commit a criminal offence they should & must be expelled, not jailed to make a martyr out of them;
2. People have the right to have differing opinions & points of view and the right to express those opinions etc in a democratic & peaceful manner. Yes & even rally for their cause, placards & all, providing that it is done peacefully & without endangering others;
3. More needs to be done by spiritul leaders of all faiths, to help over come deep seated & long held intolerances & hatred of other cultures. After all some of these people in all probabiliy fled their home country to get away from these problems in the first place;
4. Australians have always supported the beliefs “that everyone deserves a fair go” which applies to new & old arrivals alike. History show that Australians will fight long & hard to see this happens. We may have the attitude that ” She’ll be right mate!” but don’t be mistaken, when this right is in jeopardy we will fight back & fight back hard.
Australia has taken in vast numbers of people fleeing from oppression, persecution, religious intolerance, wars, poverty, starvation, to name just a few. In the main the majority of these persons have assimilated into Australian society flawlessly, indeed Australia has been enriched in so many ways by these cultures. It will be a great shame & disgrace, if the hatred & violence that we see nearly every night on the news, is allowed to start here in Australia. A number of writers agree that the riots in Sydney may be the start of things to come. If this is so, than it is time to act just as radically as the rioters & expel them now !!! and a word to the media:-
“Sensationilism does sell advertising but it is too high a price to pay for the loss of peace, dignity & harmony”. Chose a more balance approach to reporting the news in the furture & society as a whole will be better off!
As I asked before, can you name any other religion or in fact any other topic that demands such attention. New migrants, old migrants, born here or fleeing from a war torn country, if you want to stay, support and be part of the Australian community, it is pretty simple, if not LEAVE.
I am sick of the bullshit that surounds this subject, along with all of the bullshit that comes with it.
To start a riot in Sydney and for riots to start all over the world over a film and someone’s belief in religion is absurd and you cannot justify this action by any means. You cannot also deny the violence that comes with the muslim religion and their absurd view of the western culture.
And of course its not all of them, it’s just enough of them to upset most of Australia and most of the western society, world wide. Don’t get me wrong, I think that it is really sad that all of the muslim community will have to wear this, and of course all of the other deeds that are done under the name of Allah.
Before you write some bullshit comment on my personal view on this topic……..
Name another religion that demands nations and society’s change their own values to cater for this belief? Do I believe in God maybe…do I believe in your God..no….but than again, does it matter…
Make no mistake, folks.
The radical fundamentalists in islam have only 1 objective.
The entire world to be ruled by sharia law.
Every upheaval, riot, bombing, murder they commit is driving toward that one goal.
To Elena Garcia – there was a lot more than 1 placard zoomed in on that were equally offensive
Sorry are you saying they deserved a flogging from police, then? I see offensive stuff regularly but that doesn’t entitle me to bash people and spray them with pepper spray (but just because I don’t bash them doesn’t mean I approve of their offensiveness).Your type of thinking is what right-wing American Christians use to justify murdering workers at abortion clinics…
Elena, I saw footage of a protestor smacking a police officer in the face – unprovoked. The riots were unacceptable, but I do not believe that those who protested should be deported. The rational response is that they be charged with public affray, assaulting police and property damage (if any). Trade unionists have been known to riot in a similarly ‘un-Australian’ fashion, and no one suggests they be deported (although I could be persuaded into believing that that’s a bloody good idea!!).
I also don’t believe that the actions of a few dickheads (technical term) should tarnish an entire religion. There are many thousands of peace loving Muslims who despair at such riots/violence, because they know that their lot in life will be that little bit harder for a while – they won’t be able to walk down the street without some moron yelling insults, hurling garbage at them (or worse) and telling them to get out of the country.
Further, I don’t believe that the country will be overrun by Muslims. For crying out loud. If you’re that scared of such an eventuality, then go hide under your bed. Such an assertion is ridiculous, ill-informed crap, and the people who subscribe to such a view are, frankly, narrow-minded biggots.
Those who espouse the equally stupid theory that Sharia law is not far from being introduced wholesale in this country clearly have no understanding as to the fundamental principle of Australian law – namely the Constitution. In order for Sharia law to be introduced wholesale in Australia, the Constitution would have to be effectively overthrown. The only way THAT will happen is that a majority of people in a majority of states votes to have the Constitution struck out in its entirety, and a new one introduced. How quickly do you think the Muslim population would need to multiply to ensure it achieves these majority outcomes? Given the success rate of referendums in this country, such an outcome is so beyond the realms of possibility I can’t even believe I have to explain it.
The saddest thing of all is that which Yale mentioned in his article – the protestors have wrongly targeted the US (in general), and should instead be turning their collective attention to the mono-brain celled fool who created it in the first place. The US (per se) wasn’t responsible for that heinous piece of filth (aka ‘the video’), and the US government has been lobbying Google to get it removed (that it doesn’t breach Google’s terms of service causes one to scratch one’s head).
Every religion, including Christianity, has a rogue sect (or 3), which interprets certain facets of its religion violently. The Ku Klux Klan, West Virginia White Pride, Neo-Nazis … just to name a few. No one suggests that the KKK speaks for all Christians, do they? No one suggests that all Christians should be deported due to the actions of their deranged KKK brethren.
In summary, those who seek to label all Muslims as violent, Sharia-law loving radicals hell-bent on taking over Australia really need to find a sense of proportion – let alone a brain.
Elena they were trying to storm the American Embassy so yes they were repelled with all means necessary to do so. Had they continued to rally out side and protest then all good, even with there offensive threatening material, but they attempted to enter. Had the same thing happened in Islam or most middle eastern countries you wouldn’t have been pepper sprayed, you would have been SHOT ! Yes those that tried to enter ( under those circumstances ) deserved a flogging. The police that were doing their job didn’t deserve to be attacked and hospitalised.
Fully agree, CS
Sorry Elena, I only saw OUR Police being flogged by placard bearing Osama Bin Laden supporters. That equated to treason in my books and they should be deported as they support a vile Muslim terrorist. Tell me someone…..anyone, would this behaviour be tolerated in a Muslim Country from Australians? What sort of punishment would we be dealt? Can our women walk their streets in the attire that normal is within our culture? Interesting questions and I think we all know the answers.
When people in large groups show public aggression, making law-abiding citizens fearful of their safety, then police must use necessary force to quell this riot. And rioting is exactly what they were doing. Police did the same in Cronulla. It’s curious you feel police should be subject to violence without response. Your analogy about abortion clinics is absolutely bizzare.
Great article.
It’s time for a divorce
================
As far as the overall argument goes, do we accept that Western and Muslim populations are incompatible for a number of fundamental reasons? We can talk a lot about this and appear as politically correct as we wish in recognizing and “respecting” each side, but it does not remove the inevitable conclusion that the two groups do not agree on the most basic human rights and freedoms. It is time to lobby political parties to take action to start to undo the ongoing immigration stuff-ups that have allowed this bad situation to develop here. The issue around asylum seekers and unannounced arrivals is one that continues to be dominated by the views of left-wing individuals who seem to have no awareness that Australia has absolutely no legal or moral obligation to accept any applicants for asylum whether they arrive business class by air or in a leaky boat. The UNHCR’s “safe third country” concept gives Australia the right to refuse to re-settle or even process unannounced people here. (The only time the government has to process an application is when the person is persecuted in a neighbouring country – for example Christians fleeing Indonesia). But even in that situation, the applicant has no clear legal right to choose Australia as their country of refuge – they can still be sent on to a UN refugee camp. Interestingly, not even right-wing politicians ever discuss this. It is another area where Australians have been too nice for their own good.
If the Federal government were to exercise this right, it could switch assistance from people who have circumvented the system to others who are absolutely more deserving. I’m talking about the millions of UN-registered refugees, orphaned children and the entire Hazara population of Afghanistan (who are currently marked for elimination by the Taliban). These people are all in need of serious assistance and we can deliver this assistance to them without destabilizing our own society.
Simply accepting more refugees here does not resolve the situation in the countries they have fled and no-one appears to have any solutions for any of the outbreaks of carnage happening in failed states around the world at the moment. What are needed are more safe halfway houses.
To return to the riots, for a lot of Australians, what is more concerning is the feeling that these thugs in Sydney were acting out what many other Muslims were thinking and feeling. And this appears to be an extension of the appalling violence happening in places such as Syria, Somalia and Sudan where Muslim extremists have been massacring anyone they don’t like. Seen from a national security perspective, if the government here does not currently have laws that enable it to deport / banish visa holders and citizens who carry out religiously justified acts of violence, it ought to set these up urgently. That would have been an effective response to the Cronulla Riots and ought to be in place as wars around the world escalate.
Name one industrialized Western country where the local population is thrilled to have Islamic extremists living close by?
It’s time these violent individuals are returned to the closest failed state with a warning that they have no sense of humour.
Cheers

Yale, perhaps this complete list of comments should be sent to our Politicians to show them what we, Australians, really think and want from this issue.
Then maybe someone there would grow some and give the majority of Australians the safety and security that we all deserve and expect from this violence ,which is permeating it’s evil web thoughout our culture, before it is too late.
Yeah mate,
Great article. The bit about deporting THEM seems a little odd though.
How are you proposing anyone deport THEM?
THEY are Australian Citizens. So you’ll have as much luck deporting THEM as THEY’LL have at deporting YOU.
I think you’re missing the point about what it is to be Australian.
No-one’s gonna be deported mate, unless you become PM, in which case you’ll probably deport everyone you don’t like and crack open a VB.
If they can come over, they can go as well. France, UK, Holland, etc… did deport extreme islamic imams. You need to choose: do you allow them to come in and cause a constant stir? If you remove a problem, the problem is gone. It’s not exactly the death penalty, but somewhere in the future, you’re gonna need to solve this issue. The longer you wait, the worse it’s going to be. I.e.: if the allies captured Hitler after he didn’t honor the Versailles treatment, there wouldn’t have been a world war. But all they did back then was waiting and ssssh’ing and waiting and ssssh’ing, until it was sept 1st, 1939 and too late. The same thing is happening right now, however,on a lower pace. Your police forces aren’t going to be able to stop 10.000 muslims. But that will occur first in Europe.
When I was in Sydney for vacation, in 2004, I bought some drinks in a small shop. I’ll never forget the conversation I had, not with the owner, but with his worker. He was a muslim, he said he lived in my country (Belgium) as well and ended up in Australia. “One day” he said ” in every house in the world will live a muslim”. That is what they are after. That is their ultimate wet dream. Although, you live on the other side of the world, your words sounds very familiar to me. Silently, they persuate schools to serve only halal food. They urge supermarkets not to sell chocolates filled with alcohol, they don’t respect our rights of freedom of speech (“why is it good for?”). In Egypt, a Christian has been sentenced to 6 years of imprisonment for insulting islam. You risk the death penalty if you try to convert a muslim in Algeria. You get death threats in Holland if you were a muslim and become an atheïst. In Brussels many native women are harassed by muslims, insulted, called a whore for not wearing a veil,… They demand respect, but they don’t respect other religions. According to islam, hindoeism, janiism, boeddhism.. are all devilish religions who worship satan. Atheists are worst than pigs and should be killed, etc… Where is their respect? All this stuff happens all over the world. I spoke to someone from Czechia about islam. Same story overthere. He said: ” they hate us”. I wonder, if there isn’t going to be enough police around to stop the protesters, what is going to happen next? It will be a very difficult puzzle, but what I did notice: the more muslims you allow in your country, the more problems you get later on. If there were a 500 muslims youngsters causing an uproar 10 years ago, you now have 2000. I think,somewhere in the future, there will be a terrible war and it will be fought out by our children. I hope I’m wrong. The second option is becoming a muslim yourself and the latter is to live under muslim dictatorship. Ask the christians in Nigeria, Egypt, Pakistan, etc… what that means. Ask the people of Trappes, near Paris, France, what it is like, to live in a town dominated by muslims. That is, if you can find someone who isn’t muslim. And don’t bother trying to find a beer or a glass of wine neither… 28km from Paris.
Jan, this is pure scaremongering. Muslims are only 2.25% of this country. They can dream as much as they want about a Muslim in every house. It is just not going to happen here. After the riot in Sydney, where there are probably more marginalised Muslims than elsewhere, nothing of the kind has happened anywhere else.
As to terrible wars. Who knows, Europe has more problems and more Muslim countries next to them than us. We have Indonesia with 300M of Muslims. We we try to keep a good relationship with them and influence them as much as we can so they stay a secular state and not run by extremists. So far, so good.
Well, in Brussels, 25% of the population is muslim, and that number is still growing by the day. That is app. 250,000 people. It use to be 2.25% as well. How would Sydney look like with 25% muslims? They don’t integrate. They don’t watch our tv stations or read our newspapers. They have satelite tv and muslim banks where they put their money, so they can live in their own world, with their set of rules in our modern society. Gays are constantly bashed by them, don’t try to wear a skirt as a woman.. they’ll harass you constantly. If you’re a woman on a bike, wearing a short, they will spit at you, if you’re a lesbian couple, they will smack your face on the pavement. I am not making this up. This is reality to us. In Brussels, every year 50,000 people are victim of some form of fysical violence. That is 500,000 people within 10 years. We only have 10,000 prison cells. Letting them muslims in by such numbers -of course, under the supervision of the socialist party- created so many wounded people, murders, social tensions, fear, anxiety, unsafety… it has been a total disaster. Most of them are not ready to live in an open free society. We paid a huge price for this. Just last month, there was an article about Saoudi-Arabia financing radical muslim schools in Brussels. What is this doing to a society? It’s making it harder. Why are we even allowing this? The (socialist) government hasn’t been doing anything to solve this or any of the problems, other than calling every form of criticism racial hatery, which is BS. By doing nothing, the problem only grew. More people will get hurt, beaten up, stabbed and end up with emotional damage in the future. The French/Brussels socialist media hardly mention these problems. That is pure censorhip. I could never post on their forum, what I write overhere. They would censor it. What is it with socialism & the truth? I was a socialist. I stopped being one, after reading all their BS-propaganda & seeing the poor result of their policy: one of the highest taxes in the world, one of the highest government debts in the world and way too much (unpunished) crime. That is socialism. In reality it’s not working. What the war concerns: I’m only repeating the words of a French officer from the secret service from France who said this in a French docu. Seeing how things evolved locally, I concur.
@jan, is there statistics that confirms that Muslims represent disproportionately high % as perpetrators of physical violence in the Netherlands? If it is just an impression you or anybody else gets, well, we can’t trust our impressions as they are very subjective.
Muslims in prison:
BELGIUM – 35%
DENMARK – 20%
GREAT BRITAIN – 11%
FRANCE – 50%-70%
GERMANY – 5%
ITALY – 13%
THE NETHERLANDS – 26%
NORWAY – Over 30%
SPAIN – 70%
SWITZERLAND – 57.8% in Champ-Dollon prison
So, I reckon this will be Australia’s future. Let me get one thing clear: I am not a racist and I am not connected to a far right party or group. I’ve been drinking wine with a muslim last week. Not everyone are not all bad apples. But that doesn’t mean we have to take all this crap for the bad guys. Most of them are unemployed, underqualified, or illegal but not sent back. That is socialism. IMO, the best thing to do is sending them back. They came over, were taking good care of, but then they blew their chances. Our socialist goverment let them stay, gave them allowences, and they remain unemployed… They were unemployed in Morrocco, now they are unemployed in Belgium. The burden is ours. Don’t see the point. Plus they demand VIP treatment, because they are muslim… And i’m not even going to start ranting about the hundreds & hundreds East-European gangs that are operating in our country, to steal our wealth… or the 10,000′s and 10,000′s of East-Europeans commiting social fraud. Or the immigration fraud from people coming from Asia & Africa. In 10 years, our population grew with 10%. That is a lot. Nothing else but from immigration. Most of them are low qualified, and will remain unemployed, most likely for the rest of their lives. In the meantime, taxes are rising again. Socialists love to tax.
Yes, you were right, re over-representation. This discussion refers to a publication that indicates the over-representation of Muslims in crimes statistics in Netherlands here: http://islamineurope.blogspot.com.au/2010/06/netherlandsbelgium-link-between-crime.html
There is a problem. However, I don’t think the root of it is a particular religious association causing its members to be more violent or more criminal. Research done by EUMC (Muslims in the European Union, Discrimination and Islamophobia 2006) http://fra.europa.eu/fraWebsite/attachments/Manifestations_EN.pdf
tells, I quote:
“Many Muslims acknowledge that they themselves also need to do more to engage
with wider society, to overcome the obstacles and difficulties that they face and to
take greater responsibility for integration. However, engagement and participation
need also encouragement and support from mainstream society that needs to do
more to accommodate diversity and remove barriers to integration.
Political leaders and the institutions have a particular responsibility to send a clear
message of respect to all communities and provide convincing answers. Now more
than ever they must establish meaningful intercultural dialogue and promote
practical initiatives to bring communities together and tackle prejudice, disaffection
and marginalisation. Policy responses need to acknowledge that Muslim
communities in general have experienced long-standing discrimination, whether
direct or indirect, which has impacted on employment opportunities, education
standards and social marginalisation.”
I’d like to draw your attention to the last sentence, as I believe that is the root cause. Christian-based society (Western, if you like) is still too-bigoted to treat all equally, despite all the policies. It is us, rank and file, who look at the “others” as at the aliens to be discriminated against, consciously or subconsciously.
Perhaps, until our own society matures enough to abandon their bigoted views, there should be a policy limiting the number of Muslim or other “too-different” immigrants. However, Australia being a signatory to the refugee convention is limited in available means of achieving such a control. However we could follow the way Netherlands has tried by setting strict rules and limits on family migration.
Re: your reference to “socialist government” policy in Netherlands as the cause of the high number of Muslim migrants, I’d disagree with that based on this quote from from wiki here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam_in_the_Netherlands:
“During the 1960s and 1970s the Netherlands needed a larger labour force for the labour intense jobs in the lower educated sectors. These sectors were short of workers because of the traditionally service-oriented Dutch economy. The Netherlands concluded recruitment agreements with countries like Turkey and Morocco, allowing people from these countries to stay in the Netherlands[citation needed] (smaller numbers of Muslim immigrants in this time came from Tunisia and Algeria).
Official work immigration ended in 1973, but the number of Moroccans and Turks remained on the increase as immigrants brought their family to the country using family reunification laws. A number of Surinamese Muslims came to the Netherlands before and after the independence of Suriname in 1975.”
The cause of high number of Muslim migrants in Netherlands doesn’t seem to be related to a particular party’s policy but seems to have been justified by economic reasons, just like in the rest of the EUCD countries, apart from taking refugees, we try to fill job vacancies we can’t fill otherwise.
Re the allowances given to the unemployed. I don’t think the situation will improve, if you take them away. It will only cause more crimes and disparity in the society.
As a young country we should look at what has happened around the world, by letting muslims settle in their country and take heed..I agree with the article from Jan this just does not work.. Our basic views are just completely different…
The heads of the muslim community in Sydney spoke about the child carrying the sign and suggested that the child more than likely just picked up the sign and raised it..if you have a close look at the mother, instead of talking to the child and letting him know that it’s not nice to cut peoples head off, she is taking a photo of the child…
And Steve deporting them is easy you just stamp them with “Return to Sender”…
And the scum that were born in Australia carrying placards in support of Osama Bin Laden (which for me are even worse) should.. just be given to our armed forces….sorry but what I was going to write was far worse and not constructive..anyway just stamp them with “We love christ so f*** you” and send them to the middle east for a relaxing holiday.
I’m over this debate,,,,,
it was centred around the violent and inciting riots in sydney.
ANY ONE HAS A RIGHT TO PROTEST WITHIN THE PARAMETERS OF THE LAW.
THOSE IDIOTS DID NOT AND WENT BEYOND – VIOLENCE AGAINST POLICE, CITIZENS, VANDALISM AND ASSAULT AND INCITING BEHEADING IS JUST HYSTERICAL , ILLEGAL AND INFLAMMATORY .
I DONT CARE WHAT YOU DO ARE WHO YOU ARE IF YOU ARE LEGALLY IN AUSTRALIA AND OBEY THE LAW – THOSE IDIOTS DIDNT – THATS THE PROBLEM – THEY NEED TO CEASE AND DESIST OR COP THE FULL WRATH OF THE LAW – SWEET AND SIMPLE.
IF ANY PARTICULAR GROUP PERSISTS THEN USE YOUR VOTING RIGHTS AND CONTACT YOUR PARLIAMENT MINISTER AND LOBBY FOR LEGISLATIVE CHANGE TO UPHOLD YOUR OBJECTIONS OR PERCEIVED INFRINGEMENTS OF YOUR RIGHTS.
THATS DEMOCRACY.
THEY ABUSED IT.
THEY FIX IT OR WE FIX IT FOR THEM LEGALLY.
