And you think most of the world lives 2 to 4 to a house? You're dreaming.

The suburban, nuclear family thing must seem very strange to people from extended families in rural villiages. So must local laws applying to everything from building regulations to where you can hang your washing.

The striking thing about developed, Western lifestyles is the lonliness.

Anyway, I bet you that Indian household with the 5 cars would be the cleanest house on the street.

Well, an awful lot of third world villagers seem to want nothing more than the dreadful loneliness blissful solitude of Western suburbia...

Very true. I doubt they're here for the solitude though.

... apart from better sanitation and medicine and education and irrigation and public health and roads and a freshwater system and baths and public order. And peace, Reggie, peace.

They want nothing more than to get educated, apply for permanent residency, get a job, buy a house, get married and raise a family in peace. Even if it means leaving the huts and the corruption and the suffocating backwardness behind and putting up with having a car or two, a big enough house for grandma to have her own room, and a chance for their children to grow up in a meritocracy.

Indians don't get it. They don't understand it because, racially, India is a very accepting country. In a country of such a diverse population, you have to be. No matter what you might have heard, Indians are tolerant of other faiths and cultures. On the whole, Hindus and Muslims get on well in India, and Indians see this as one of their enduring strengths.

Yeh, except for when Hindu mobs rampage through cities in Gujaraat, cleansing entire suburbs of Muslims... apart from that, yeh it's fairly peaceful I guess.

What about caste system which is so deeply embedded in Indian psycho?
Majority of Indians students who study oversees are from the upper caste society continuing to behave as upper caste towards Aussies what doesn’t work with Australia.

Do we need to be always politically correct.
In the world of universal deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

You talk as if a superior education system, worth leaving your country for, is some accidental natural development, unrelated to the place that created and maintained it.

The lunar symbol of Islam is apt in your case - you are lunatic.

Racism has always struck me as being particularly parochial and inbred. I could never understand at any time in my life why people should be scared of other people just because they have a different skin colour.

I don't see the point in denying that racism exists in Australia. It's obvious. Having said that, I think it's worse in the UK and France, and it's definitely worse in Scandinavia.

In parts of Africa, I've seen an obsequious form of reverse racism, which is even more intriguing. An African guy can be left for hours waiting at a bank whereas a European will be seen immediately. All the bank staff were African.

Muslims flocked to them from all part of the empire. There was no 'flocking' by the kuffar.

Nope, Muslims and non-Muslims both attended places like Bayt al-Hikmah. Although mostly from within the Islamic world, yes, because non-Muslims outside the Muslim world generally had no appreciation of knowledge at that time. Not our fault if Christian Europe was so steeped in it's backwardness that they weren't interested in learning. However I have read before that some englightened and wealthy Europeans did send their kids to the Muslim lands to be educated.

Here's an interesting article about the Islamic learning institutions, and their interaction with Europe. It was mostly in the form of taking the vast libraries of books they had no use for, with all the "useless ramblings of the ancients in them"
