simply put its kind of like this -
equality of gender
freedom of religion
freedom of sexual orientation
If we are to abandon freedom of religion and judge people based on a study of their religion, we might as well deport all religious people since just about all religions contain questionable practices. For example, the the New Testament of the Bible, it states that any man who looks at a woman and lusts for her must gouge out his eyes (Matthew 5:28-29). Imagine looking at a bikini-clad woman on a beach, lusting after her, and then having the police come to remove your eyes.some cultures are dysfunctional are we sure as hell should NOT be importing more of these people into this country. theres millions of english speaking educated europeans who would love to settle in australia (and possibly flee parts of europe that are becoming unlivable due to immigration) we could open the doors too without worrying about cultural or religious baggage.
This is irrelevant. The crimes of some in a group don't make everyone in that group a criminal. Even men commit more crime than women, but are you going to deport all men? Short people are more likely to be pedophiles than tall people, so are you doing to deport all short people?crime statistics clearly point out that sudanese and lebanese migrants are hugely overrepresented as perpertrators of crime
And you're certainly showing these values to the immigrants who come here.Mateship
A fair go for all.
Pull your weight.
Respect for others and their point of view.
Have a go regardless of the perceived obstacles.
Reject snobbery.
Do business on the shake of the hand.
No worries mate.
Weren't you earlier bashing Muslims and therefore arguing against freedom of religion?equality of gender
freedom of religion
freedom of sexual orientation
freedom to elect your leaders
freedom to openly state your opinion
freedom of choice (within reasonable bounds)
freedom to live in peace, forge your own destiny, raise your kids etc. etc.
these are the basic tenets of western cultural belief and identity.
and yet women earn 15% less - frankly I think overt discrimitation is more honorable than covert
Just dont build your mosque near me
but the home of poofter bashing and no gay marriage.
The holier than thou rhetoric is ridiculous - there is no way your typical first fleet descendant aussie is any better than anyone else in the world - muslims included.
What every your views the ques of people wanting to get into western countries speaks for it self.
I understand that the birth rate amongst our muslim community is nearly triple that of the multi-generational Australians.
Did they? I thought they sent their convicts out here, with the exception of South Australia, where the free settlers went, ditto New Zealand. A critic could draw all sorts of implications from such a settlement of Australia.T There were no "aussies" until the poms sent their "best" out here to become the first real Aussies.
And mighty proud of that too, here in SA. Our first settlers were European in origin, from Germany and the like.Did they? I thought they sent their convicts out here, with the exception of South Australia, where the free settlers went, ditto New Zealand
Every person here in Oz is an immigrant including the Aborigines ,
I tried to claim land rights here, being an ethnic Pom.That is true of ancestors.Rights to land due to being first here are recognised by the Australian government.Having said that i do reserve my right to travel anywhere I want in this relatively sane country.
It`s all about rights as a human that makes the difference and that is where Australia has an improving record generally typing.
people are utterly nieve about the true nature of islam. at least people have stopped with the "islam is the religion of peace" line because we've all picked up on the fact that this is bs, so now with a bit more research people can discover that islam isn't just a religion, it's a political doctrine, and mohammed wasn't some glorious prophet, he was a mass murdering paedophiliac narcissistic warlord with delusions of grandeur (pbuh).
They are most common in areas like macquaries fields and have the same effect of property prices as mobile phone towers and high power lines.
I think the love-it-or-leave-it argument is un-democratic. If you don't love something, you should talk to your MP, vote against it, or start your own party. If you leave, the problem remains. Most One Nation supporters I talk to believe that if you don't love the country then you should leave. Then they criticize the Liberal/Labor party for sending in too many immigrants and whatever. If the One Nation supporters don't like it, why don't they follow their own principles and leave?But I also agree if you don't love Australia then bug ger off, I have travelled to quite a few countries, none of them ever measure up to Oz and I always get a good feeling inside when I can see the my beloved country from the air after being away.
What exactly you do want? Do you want government to ban Islam? Do you want government to ban all religions and or regulate religions (as they do in Communist China)?people are utterly nieve about the true nature of islam. at least people have stopped with the "islam is the religion of peace" line because we've all picked up on the fact that this is bs, so now with a bit more research people can discover that islam isn't just a religion, it's a political doctrine, and mohammed wasn't some glorious prophet, he was a mass murdering paedophiliac narcissistic warlord with delusions of grandeur (pbuh).

Every night I watch the news from around the world, and every day I cannot but feel so privaledged that I am born and bred an Aussie.
Sure, we have some problems .... trying to get along with our Aboriginal countrymen, some racial conflicts with our newest Australians, some security concerns with minority extremists, environmental issues with droughts, then floods....., but all in all we are so lucky.
No need to list the worries of the world that are all too well present, with all the deaths, conflicts, wars, racial and religious struggles that are continually beamed to us "via satellite" on our TV screens, but I wonder how we will remain safe and isolated from the conflicts that are slowly sucking in the broader parts of the globe.
The human streetscape, even in my little suburb in the inner west of Sydney is changing. I am seeing a lot more tall very black Afican (Sudanese?) people, women in full muslim wear, many middle eastern looking males and slowly but surely I am feeling the typical Aussie is disappearing.
I understand that the birth rate amongst our muslim community is nearly triple that of the multi-generational Australians.
How long before we lose our typical True Blue Aussie identity?
