Where did they all come from? They didn't come across the Mexican border. Tony Abbott didn't have them flown in from Nauru.

Texas is/was a base station for fundamentalist Christians. Then the Latinos multiplied so I guess it was RC territory. Now this.

They'll just have to up the security at the Bush homestead.

Texas is BIG bogy..60 is probably a pinhead on a pumpkin over there.....

its called Give me that old time Religion....baby!.

they do religion BIG in Texas as you'all know.....

I read a book about a scam run by the church where this very handsome charismatic Priest was used to raise money from wealthy ... mainly Texas oil barons.. mostly women widows you see....it was quite enlightening...and all true.. he didnt realise he was being used until much later after he had raised zillions for the church.. they were even left shards of oil filled land...as one dies he popped off to the next.. and would hold their hands and sort of make them fall in love with him  and they would have his complete attention...a sort of personal priest if you like...

it fell apart when one family took him to court after he got left most of their oil wells......and they did some investigating..

There are over 180 mosques and musallahs in Sydney (a small handful being in country towns)

Seems like a few too many?

That's less than the mosques/musallahs we have in Sydney. 

Does that tell you anything at all?

Aaaah.....let me think

Just a very small minority so they say   :)

That's not what google tells me. Google tells me there are 56.

You know that not everything on the site you posted is a mosque or musallah don't you? First listing is a radio station.

Australians think Muslim population is nine times greater than it really is

International Ipsos Mori poll shows Australians are also wildly wrong in their estimations on teen pregnancy, immigrants and unemployment


Australians believe the proportion of Muslims in the country is nine times higher than it really is, according to a new international survey comparing public perceptions with actual data.

The Ipsos Mori poll conducted across 14 countries also showed Australians are wildly wrong in their estimations of the number of pregnant teenagers, unemployed people, immigrants and Christians in the country.

Australians said the murder rate was rising, when the data shows it generally falling.

The radio station is a prayer hall or musallah.

"the station is open for everyone to pray as long as there are staff members in it, just ring the bell and the door will be opened in shaa ALLAH (prayer rooms for both brothers and sisters separately)"

There is a boy scout hall near me which is used as a musallah.  On Fridays no-one can park or go anywhere near it.  Taxis, government buses and cars park and double park in all the side streets within a 500 metre radius of it for at least 2 hours.  Council does nothing. 

You would say "It's just a boy scout hall".  I would say "It's not!".

You're right. I would say it's just a boy scout hall.

The site I gave is a specific Islamic site and I should think they would have more knowledge about where their mosques and musallahs are than your google "living in Sydney" site.

Google is not always your friend.

No need. It's quite obvious from looking at your link.

Sounds like a John Denver or Roger Miller song title but no, it's reality according to Letter from Boston.

Did the 'Letter from Boston' give any clue as to how many kebab take-aways  there are in Texas - or Turkish rug shops, for that matter ?



Four Corners, last night, had a Muslim reporter interviewing the leader of a new, young French nationalist group

SERIOUSLY, his FIRST complaint was the number of kebab shops in Paris !



Indigestion ? - the lady mocked - totally over his head

Bush has friends in Mecca. Remember he signed off so that bin Laden's family could leave after 911 while every airport was in lock down. He then had the Sauds over for BBQ and said Islam is a religion of peace. If he needs protection, its from the Iraq War vets.

Looks Russia is the last Christian country in the world.

But I don't think Mecca or Ryad has any friends in the Islamic State. But who knows, they are all deranged, inbred reptiles anyway.
