Well look at it this way Abu.
Take Lakemba, a place where the McDonalds doesn't serve 'bacon' and serves in accordance with all things pertaining to Moslem culture.
Now is this to say that 'Lakemba' is a Moslem suburb?
Quite possibly so.
I lived in Petersham/Leichhardt for about 3 years - I loved how the Italians spuced up Leichhardt with a very 'italian' style. Not only this, they made 'their' suburb and
OPEN suburb. In other words, they made the suburb appealing to people from other suburbs and people who were not Italian. They made Leichhardt like a 'taste' of Italy that I'm sure made people going to Italy itself for more.
When I left, the President of Portugal had just visited Petersham and as far as I know, Petersham has lifted its game too.
As far as I know about Lakemba is that it is a 'closed' suburb. People not of Lakemba or who aren't Moslem don't feel safe, let alone "welcomed" there. There is no attempt by Lakembans to promote the suburb via the International Language of English with any true sincerity and acceptance. Gangs roam with a bad attitude towards non-moslems, etc, etc, etc.
Does it make you wonder why Moslems can't be accepted into other suburbs when they don't make the people of Sydney welcome in their little suburb. How can you expect to walk beyond your frontyard when you can't even get your sh it together in your backyard.
Pathetic displays of human behavior to anyone beyond the understanding of your Religion also hampers the future of Moslems in Australia.
Moslems in Australia obviously don't know how to leave the 'teet' of Mummy Middle-East and strike out alone like a man unto himself at one with everyone else in the world so to speak. Moslems lack an official representation of Individualism ...still acting in group mentality like a bunch of women at a fabric party.
Well I must say that the above mentioned probably pertains to you Abu as I have met a 'few' Moslems who aren't afraid to express an acceptance of a future this country offers instead of the Middle-East.
Islam must be a very unadaptable and achaic Religion if it can't change to meet the demands of the rest of the world you know.
...and we all know that Religion has a 'gun' problem as if it were the 'Military'.
Just like Music has a 'drug' problem as if it were the 'Medical'.
"Don't you just love Denial" or is that still too much Pychobabble for you?
