Absolutely. If not a moratorium on further Muslim immigration, then a greatly reduced influx of them.
The NSW Christian Democrat leader who is also the Assistant President of the Legislative Council ~ The Rev Fred Nile ~ went to an election on the platform of stopping any further Muslim immigration for at least 10 years.
He was not ostracised from the political community for having suggested this.
There are a whole swathe of Radio Talkback hosts just in Sydney alone who for years have been advocating for Australia to stop ... Quote: "importing its enemies under the aegis of Political Correctness".
I doubt we'll ever have a moratorium. We are also free to practise any religion we choose providing we don't break the law and so far the majority of Muslims have proven to be law abiding citizens.
I wonder if Fred Nile will ever become PM? As far as talkback radio goes - 2GB appears to be the only one obsessed with Muslims and migration and as it is a conservative station, almost extreme, of course they're going to try to please their audience.

Gone is the White Australia policy of yesteryear where those who were different were classified as fauna.

Are you quite sure you're not off with the pixies again with this remark?
No - I'm off with the fairies.

It was meant to be an analogy of sorts. We only have to look back over the last 50 years to see the various stages of racism this nation has gone through in regard to asylum seekers and migrants. It all passes eventually.
Quote:Overnight a new policy of assimilation could easily and rightly be introduced into our schools whereby our second, third, and fourth generation immigrant ethnics are no longer encouraged to 'celebrate' their Chinese / Indian / Greek / Pacific Islander / etc etc de facto foreign national identities... 30 - 40 - 50 years after their great grandparents arrived here.
There's benign multiculturalism and then there's the multiculturalism that is toxic and undermining of Australia's democratic and free cultural heritage.
As a female you should be WAY more appalled than me at the steady encroachment of Islamic values in Australian society, with Sharia Law ensuring that the sisterhood gets treated like chattels and second class citizens with the full knowledge of the gutless bastards who populate our political class.
I believe some infant schools have introduced assimilation programs, but it is about embracing the differences, not rejecting them.
Australian women have never been treated equally and wages today indicate that we are still paid far less than our male counterparts. I doubt Islam is responsible for that. We have laws to protect females from the brutality of males and if these adult females choose not to exercise their legal rights - there is nothing we can do about it.
Personally I would rather see harsher laws effected to protect children. Perhaps there is a punishment in Sharia law which involves cutting off the child abuser's hands or genitals. The general population would certainly go along with that.
