But I do know it was most disingenuous to pretend door knocking was a main avenue of religious harassment and indoctrination.
In my life I've had several Christians knock on my door, stop me in the street, and corner me at parties, in a bid to convince me that their religion is the only one true religion, and that I should be a part of it. Not once has a Muslim done anything like that. Never, ever. What's really disingenuous, is people like you who try to pretend that Christians aren't trying to ram their religion down your throat at every opportunity they get. Same here. One of the regular Coast Cabbies is a Bible Basher and is in the ear of his passengers all the time. He also tries it at Ranks and is told to piss off very quickly. Known by all as the Preacher. No surprise at all. The preaching cabbie, the crazy guy in the city, the crusader on TV, the douche-bag knocking on your door, and the cretin putting leaflets in your letterbox - all Christians. I'll reiterate: not once has a Muslim tried to convince me that their religion is the best, and that I should be a part of it. In fact, the Muslims I know never initiate discussion of their religion. Muslims represent 2.2% of the population and you live in the city with the least Muslims in the country. My cousin is a uni professor and PhD in theology actually, he regularly goes to those interfaith hoo-has and he said like clockwork, the Imams get their Allah out of their pants and try to ram in down everyone throats. I know a lot of Muslims, and I've visited Muslim countries (and Sydney, and Melbourne, etc.). Again: not once has a Muslim tried to convince me that their religion is the best, and that I should be a part of it. Not once. Regarding your second point, if you go to "interfaith hoo-has", what do you expect? Tell the truth, Gordy: has a Muslim ever knocked on your door and tried to sell you their religion? Have you ever seen a Muslim putting religious pamphlets in your letterbox? Every time I go to Lakemba there are Muslims proselytising on the street. Every time, handing out pamhplets and the Koran on a CD. Once again it's all about numbers. You can sure as poo believe if their numbers were substantial, they'd be all over the place waving their Allah in your face. BTW, I can't remember the last time I had Christian literature in my letterbox or have been doorknocked.
