Poor, poor, Soren. Tsk, tsk. You really do need help with your Islamophobia. Until you admit that you have a problem, you'll get no where with it. You need to meet some Australian Muslims - the ordinary, everyday, moderate Muslims whom live here, discuss their religion openly with them and accept their opinions as being truthful. Until you do, you'll get no where, except to continue to spout your Islamophobic hatred and your Racist and Xenophobia. Such a silly person.  I know a seemingly perfectly good man here in Lismore that owns a shop, talked to him a lot. He's a very nice guy but when anything Islam or US comes up in the conversation, he's not so happy. You know, like he is part of this stuff that happens to Muslims in other countries, much like, I suppose Irish in America when the IRA were active. He owns the angst of stuff that happens in other countries, just because it is happening to Muslims. He doesn't say, thank Allah I'm here and don't have to put up with that crap, he feels invested. I'll say again, he's a really nice guy but he is part of a thought virus. While he's happy to be here and work, have a good place for his daughters(who wear the Hijab) to be brought up, I'm not sure he likes our freedom to be different or to criticise his beliefs. He sounds little different to the thousands and thousands of Greeks, Serbs, Croats, Italians, Irish, Spanish, Vietnamese, Cambodian, Lao, etc. people who have also settled here. It is what their children and grand-children think that is important, far more important than what the parents believe. Many migrants are conservative in their outlook, bringing with them the attitudes of their homelands and trying to teach their kids the same attitudes. Problem is, their kids are influenced by the new land's thinking. Their grand-kids even worse. I have heard numerous stories of how migrant parents would send their kids "home" to the "old country" so they could understand the true Greek/Serb/Croat/Italian/Irish/etc. way of thinking. Problem is, that their old countries have changed, they have progressed in their absence, with the result that instead of discovering a prison, their kids discover a wonderland, where often the mores are more liberal than back in Oz. Muslims are the same. Their old countries are presently in turmoil, that will, in due time, settle down. They will progress. The Muslim kids attitudes will have changed. The world turns and moves forward, despite what the Conservatives might desire.
