That's funny.

Cos I don't understand the worldwide toleration of U.S behavior....In murdering millions of innocent people & all for ******* oil!:drunk:

Oh, wait a minute....Haven't they got the biggest industrial military arsenal world-wide, with 2 million nuclear war-heads on trigger-alert?....Well, maybe I do.

Priorities & reactive U.S propaganda deflections....You simple-minded righties, are just so gullible & easy to hood-wink, it's not even funny anymore.
The way those countries treat homosexuals, women, Christians, atheists and other minorities, I'd probably value oil over a lot of their lives anyway

I'm against discrimination.

That doesn't suddenly become me forcing others to become Muslims.
It doesn't mean I'm suddenly excusing discrimination from certain people.
It doesn't mean I'm promoting discrimination.

I'm just against discrimination...

If a Muslim discriminates against a homosexual, I think it's bullshit and should be called out for homophobia.
I'm not supporting that.

Islam, and other religions, discriminate against women and homosexuals. That why I'm against Islam.
But I don't think an entire people are bad, because of it.

There is no hypocrisy...

Stop making these bullshit non sequiters as a base for your entire argument.
"Lefties don't want me to discriminate against Muslims, therefore they support Muslims in every aspect, therefore they want me to convert to Islam, and support every aspect of Islam".

It's sheer basic common sense that we cease letting these sad, lonely and alienated campaigners in the door.
Or... We ensure that people living in our society aren't sad, lonely and alienated.

They're the kindling for violence - of all religions, colours and creeds. White male teenagers shooting up schools for example.

The sad, lonely and isolated Ohio State terrorist

They're not lonely or alienated (just ****ing sick). Many choose to live in enclaves and exist in a separate universe.

Isolated British Muslims are so cut off from the rest of society that they see the UK as 75 per cent Islamic, shock report reveals

All applicants should have to consume a ham sandwich and a beer before they're considered for entry, if only to prove it won't kill them if they make the effort to integrate.

Might that be because, as a society, we haven't exactly rolled out the welcome mat? I'd probably retreat to an enclave if people abused me, judged me for my religion, discriminated against me on skin colour, demanded me to give up much loved traditions....

That's the thing about people like us mate, we don't experience what they experience, we're rich, employed, white, males in an environment that loves, nurtures and protects us.

We can't force these people to the fringes of society and then wonder why they get suckered into extremism.

The best tactic to subvert Islamic Terrorism is with education, awareness, ignorance intolerance and in general catching flies with honey rather than vinegar.

Whilst I know it was tongue in cheek, if Australia employed your tactic of enforcing ham sandwich eating and beer drinking then not only would we be burning the very thing that makes Australia great (freedom to be who you want to be) we would also be increasing the chances of home grown domestic terrorism - Australia has half a million Muslims already

Might be because in the past we had a White Australia Policy with no terrorism. Was taught in school that it was an evil anachronism; now, not so sure.

Why is it that Asians (including Indians), and Greeks and Italians and other Europeans before them, manage to survive and then thrive despite being labelled "wogs" etc without resorting to terrorism (which only makes it more difficult for those who want to toe the line)?

It's a gross cultural mismatch, plain and simple. The solution is to stop importing violence and heartache until such time as the religion sees fit to reform itself and join the rest of the world.

There's no such thing as terrorism dude.

It's a C.I.A propaganda narrative & exercise in mind-control....All there is, is U.S mass-murder, on a global scale.

Everyone knows the C.I.A did 9/11....So stop being so freaking naive, gullible & deluded man.

It's basic bigotry gussied up as championing others' rights.

Most of the people arguing against Muslim immigration don't give a shit about women in Iran or Saudi Arabia, they just don't want any 'Mussies' in Australia.

No, it is still most definitely an evil anachronism. Its founded on provably poor logic.

Every wave of immigration has had integration issues. The Yellow Peril, the Irish plague etc.

Muslims are already living here, surviving and thriving - specifically because there are enough people who are tolerant and welcoming. Start trying to roll out French style Lacite policies, combine them with bigoted public rhetoric and social exclusion and we'll see French style terrorist attacks.

We all want to stop Terrorism, your logic *compounds* it. It encourages it. It plays directly into their hands. Its what they want you to do.

We're living in the safest time in human history. There hasn't been an Islamic Terrorist attack in Australia - the Lindt cafe was a lone nut bag who didn't know the difference between the Black Standard and the Flag of ISIS. No more a Islamic Terrorist attack than Port Arthur was a white supremacist attack.

Wanting to cease immigration of Muslims for fear of terrorism is akin to not flying because you watched Air Crash Investigation ;) ... except you're also increasing the chance of someone else dying in a crash as well.

(1) Immigrants/refugees: priority should be educated people first, Christians and other minorites, then Shia Muslims. Sunnis last

(2) Actually I'm appalled by the misogyny in the Middle East. Their laws reflect poorly on the morality of people there, though Iranian women are reasonably well off by regional standards (behind Israel obviously, I wonder why?)

(3) I'm fine with 'Mussies' in Australia if they respect our laws and assimilate and don't out breed us

I thought you were smarter than this. Appeasement never works. Once a critical mass is reached - exactly as in France - the trouble will really start. And by then it'll be too late.

What benefit does Australia receive in return for the pain Muslims cause?

Islam will never change (which in its own way is kinda admirable). There'll always be a percentage of Muslims prepared to kill for Allah. Look around the world, that percentage is growing.

Think you forgot this is BigFooty, not Stormfront.
Stormfront are jerks. I notice you didn't address my point about a country's laws and morality of people



I'm curious if you were, why you thought there were not "integrating" issues. If you aren't a wog, then your perspective is probably quite different to those are.
I'm half Greek. My Mum and her family used to experience racism - I'll ask her when it stopped next time we speak

Isn't it funny!

Aboriginals suffer ten times the racism, unemployment and isolation that Muslims do but I don't see them blowing up busses and going on random shooting sprees.

Maybe it's time we just accepted certain groups of people are pre disposed to commit acts of violence as a result of their ideology?
If the Rohingya are being pushed around in Burma, the answer is to run over Americans in your car or incinerate Australians in a Springvale bank. You know it makes sense.

Look at the data big fella, a higher Muslim population doesn't correlate to higher rates of Terrorism. Don't believe me, download the Global Terrorism Database, and a spreadsheet of countries with Muslim populations and do the math. Whilst it is certainly trending upwards, so are school shootings. Should we ban White Male Emo Teenagers?

Terrorism requires a cocktail of poisons to work. Religious zealotry is the vehicle or the glass that is used to hold the poison, not the poison itself.

And appeasement (I call it tolerance, but whatevs) never works? Except of course in... most of the Western World. Including Australia.

What benefit does Australia receive in return for the pain Muslims cause?
Taxes. Workers. And good food. And good people. And cultural diversity.

The fabric which built this country, in other words...

Islam will never change (which in its own way is kinda admirable). There'll always be a percentage of Muslims prepared to kill for Allah. Look around the world, that percentage is growing.
It's already changed and is still changing.

The biggest problem that Westerners have with Islam is actually in the way it's written. For want of a better analogy: if The Bible was a neatly written and structured dramatic Stephen King novel, the Quran would be a poem by Yeats. It is in its very nature open to interpretation. Sadly, people who want power, money and resources have hijacked it to brainwash the sad, lonely and isolated.

The way to control it is to address the latter.

That's because it was so perfunctory that it wasn't worth addressing.

If people break the law, or have broken the law, throw the book at them. Couldn't care less if they are white, pink, Jewish or Satanists.

Catholic priests have been known to do that stuff too :thumbsdown: Also satanists :eek:
The priests I believe that to be true.

We have a royal commission and a whole heap of social justice about that. I hope that is/has changed it.

Satanists? I don't remember any white gang rape being in the news. Not saying it didn't happen but you must have heard it somewhere.

I remember the Skaf brothers in Sydney. I am not sure if they were Islamic but they were Lebanese Australian. I don't know how accurate this wikipedia article is but it says "The attackers texted such messages as "When you are feeling down... bash a Christian or Catholic and lift up"."
