As you know, I'm not one of those.
There are extremists in all walks of life.
It's my position that the level of conservatism, fundamentalism, extremism, call it what you will has a much higher set point within Islam. It's also an undeniable fact that Christian countries are better insulated from religion due to secularism and separation of church and state.
Brian, if we get an influx of Christian fundamentalists from USA or elsewhere and it becomes off limits to publicly critique them due to racism, I'll fill the boards with post.
Mkay?
Fine. However, we have not had an "influx" of Muslims - they still only make up about 3% of our population. The overwhelming majority of immigrants still come from Christian or secular societies. So, why is everybody running 'round like chooks with their heads cut off? Oh, thats right we have 3% of our population who are Muslim...

So, I take it you don't believe we should accept any immigrants from any theocratic state? Even if they are attempting to escape the theocracy that rules their old country and have indicated a desire to live in our (nominally) Christian/Secular state?

Why is then possible for you to accept Catholics who owe their religious allegiance to the Vatican, one of the few theocratic states in the world? Or British people? Afterall, their Queen is also the head of their national church...
So what other populations are trying to kill us here bwian?
POPULATION - particular group or type of people living in a place... YOU were the one who brought up other POPULATION GROUPS bwian not me... YOU are the apologist.... apparently you're now pretending to be a pedantic fool as well. Goodo
I'm not aware of any "population" which are "trying to kill us here," Grendel.
Now ignoring that idiocy... are you saying you are unaware of the people jailed (even just the other day) for trying to kill Australians in the name of Islam? Or sending people to fight for ISIS?
Very few, if any Muslims want to kill Australians. Why try and claim an entire "population" is?
I wasn't and you know I wasn't. Pedant.
Oh, thats, right, we're talking about Muslims, yeah.
yes we are so you are not as stupid as you pretend to be eh.
Quote:What other population are joining ISIS?
I am completely unaware of an entire "population" which wants to join Daesh.
Did I say entire.... oh dear careful your idiocy is showing...
Can you name it for us, Grendel? Oh, you mean Muslims?
Yes I do mean Muslims, not Christians or Buddists or any other POPULATION
But only a tiny minority of our
population have attempted to join Daesh. I suppose we could discuss the Fascists, the Communists who wanted to join in the Spanish Civil War? What about the Croats and Bosnians who wanted to fight the Serbians? How about the Serbians and the Croats and the Bosnians who wanted to fight in the Balkan Wars? Plenty of others to choice from...
Yes, why didn't you mention the Crusades? The Muslims mention them... BTW we all know Multiculti is a failure.
