I suspect that the rising Buddhist slice of the demographic has little to do with immigration actually. But the point of this discussion, 'The case against Islamic immigration' I mean to say, what the hell does that mean?

Is it seriously proposed that anybody can come to Australia or at least apply to become Australian, except fro Muslims? Is that seriously being put as a tenable argument? If not what is?

I propose we bar entry to anyone who opposes democracy and personal freedom, regardless of their reason for doing so.

Re: The case against Islamic immigration Reply #47 - Mar 29^th, 2011 at 8:00pm I think the immigration process is a bit more involved. They actually check you out and ask difficult questions. It would also put pressure on the preachers who speak against democracy and freedom - like the ones credited with grooming the London bombers and our failed Melbourne ones.

Edited:

The world seems perfectly cool with the Saudis not allowing Christian or Jewish immigration - so I don't see why the idea can't at least be raised.

Does it? I know that the US elite are so indebted to the Saud's that they gave them a good snog on the ranch straight after 9/11 and refuse to criticise them for sending in an army to help the equally primitive Bahrain regime; but if you think the rest of us see the Saud's as cool you're wildly delusional.

Any evidence to back up this wild assertion?

If a Saudi woman, fed up with riding in the boot wearing a tent, decided that life as an Australian sounded infinitely better than living under the Wahbist pricks, why would you want to keep her out?

Now you're talking. It makes no sense to actually psychologically damage people by locking them up in concentration camps before letting them into the community. It makes no sense to deny them entry because, being a Tamil, they once fought the Sri Lankan government.

It does make sense to deny entry to people who want to act as some kind of fifth column for theofascists or only want to dwell here to continue a fight elsewhere. Anybody should get a fiveyear provisional residence on signing a form stating they are free of baggage. And anybody breaking the undertakings they make on that form should be thrown out on a days notice.

Why does Australia give visas to Mormon missionaries? Can anybody explain that one?

Now you understrand why the USA rammed its so called FREE TRADE AGREEMENT down our throats.

A Howard legacy that had bent over every Australian for a daily US style de-rimming

I'm afraid under this FREE TRADE AGREEMENT, which is designed to protect US speculators, there is nothing the Australian government can do to stop any of these US muilti national corporate mafiasos from totally facking this country up

remember OUR beloved mining sector is almost 60% US owned

The Dutch and Swedish election results have passed you by, evidently. Le Pen fille is also threatening Sarko in Frogland. The news didn't make the Anti-Fascist Echo?

I guess they have to get something right occassionally.

Utah Mining used to crow "We employ over two thousand Australians" - and take billions out of the country... I am heartily in favour of the mining tax.

I remember when I lived in Melbourne and Packer Snr had to race back from Las Vegas, because some Sultans arrived at his newly opened Crown Casino and nearly 'bankrupted' it with gigantic betting.
Packer Snr was seen to be on his knees before his own Staff 'Begging' the Sultans not to send him broke. Grin
