I want you to prove that the large bulk of the AVERAGE JOE-BLOW on the street supports multiculturalism and immigration. Put your moneywhere your mouth is you nitwit!!!
Quote:I was on a beach in small a town called Swakopmund in Namibia, Africa when I was told about the riots from a market trader. Trust me, the rest of the World felt this was a sad day for Australia. After going to Aus a few weeks later many many Australians I met were distugusted by the riots, including those from beach towns in Sydney. I then travelled to India and it was being talked about there, and then back home in London two months later, people we still talking about it. But the discussions were never about the Lebanese, they were always about the white Australian rioters. Yes this was a black day for Australia.
Whatever... and I also spoke with a few tourists from France and Japan about it... and they were shocked to hear that Muslims had been hassling the locals for decades.
Their opinions QUICKLY changed.
It's funny the gets in the way of a BULLSHIT story
, hey Leon?And I don't know where you met these so-called Australians who were 'disgusted' by the riots, Leon. We're they Greek/Italian by any chance?
Quote: Police Assistant Commissioner Mark Goodwin said innocent people had been targeted.
"The behaviour that's been seen down here at Cronulla today is nothing short of disgusting and disgraceful," he said. "It's certainly not the Australian way."

Is that enough of a shred of evidence?
No... that was a
Government representative you idiot. He says anything the Iemma Government tells him to say.
And don't forget my point about propaganda:
"The Cronulla riots erupted after a week-long campaign of incitement by the corporate media, in particular the Murdoch-owned Daily Telegraph, 2GB and 2UE. The trigger for the race riot was a minor incident: an alleged altercation between two off-duty Cronulla lifeguards and some Middle Eastern youths."

'Greenleft.'
How reliable and 'accurately representative' of the Australian community. That's the equivalent of the opinion of a Neo-Nazi website about Jews.
Quote:The riots were an explosive outcome of the social tensions produced by the prolonged attack on working class living standards under the Howard government and its Labor predecessor, coupled with the climate of nationalism, racism and militarism cultivated at a state and federal level since the September 11 terrorist attacks.
Federal and state politicians and sections of the mass media have repeatedly labeled Muslims and immigrants, especially of Middle Eastern background, as “potential terrorists”.
Last year, radio shock-jocks such as Alan Jones, who enjoys very close relationships with both Prime Minister John Howard and the New South Wales state Labor government, provided the crucial stimulus for the riots. A weeklong radio talkback campaign was launched to “reclaim our beaches” from “Lebanese gangs” and defend the so-called “Australian way of life,” accompanied by similarly incendiary headlines in Rupert Murdoch’s Daily Telegraph.

Right...
Quote:But remember the propaganda is fuelled on BOTH sides the only way to counter act and solve this issue is to look deeply in to why this started in the first place.
Watch Zoso's documentary if you haven't already. It will blow you away, followed by at least the last 5 - 10 minutes of the link I posted earlier and maybe what we are talking about will all click in to place.
I'll think i'll give it a miss, thanks.
