Quote:Fact is the vast majority of Aussies are completely ignorant and apathetic to their very existence. In fact I don't even think we have an anti-Nazi/Racism movement here.
It exists to a far greater extent than Nazism and racism. Not sure how you could have missed them, growing up in Australia as you claim.
Quote:Btw, condemning something publicly is a load of garbage. It's nothing but an empty attempt to showboat.
It is a good place to start Abu. Perhaps the Muslim nutters would pull their head in if the 'moderate' Muslims had the balls to publicly stand up to them.
BTW, what is it exactly that you do here when you criticise America? Just empty showboating?
Quote:And people can quite easily publicly condemn something, that privately they support.
I know a few Muslims leaders have been exposed doing this, and it honestly leaves me scratching my head how Muslims could continue to follow such low life leaders. It would piss me off, and most normal Australians if a leader of any kind carried on like that. How are you supposed to know when they are telling the truth?
Quote:In fact I'm pretty sure that most of those who do these very public condemnations actually are the biggest supporters of the things they condemn. Best cover isn't it?
I expect I could count on my fingers the number of examples you come up with to demonstrate this point. And the grand total of those who held onto their position after being exposed would come to nought. Except for the Muslim leaders of course. You seem to be doing an aweful lot of projection here Abu.
Quote:I don't know who you think you're fooling fd, but it ain't me. I've seen neo-Nazis openly expressing their views in various sectors of Aussie society, and receiving absolutely no rebuke or opposition for it whatsoever. Yes I'm sure there's some places that they might, but there's also plenty of places they don't.
For example?
Quote:No it wouldn't. It'd just be a public facade. It tells us nothing concrete about someone's opinions whatsoever.
Only if you assume they are lying, but if you assume everyone is lying, as you appear to do, you aren't going to get very far.
Quote:But he hasn't broken any laws, or done anything wrong at all. He's merely expressed his political opinion.
Hence my suggestion that speaking out against him, rather than lynching him, is the appropriate response. Not sure why there is any confusion here. Is it that you equate law with morality?
Quote:Well, it's only in the very closed eyes of bigots that a small handful of people would be held to represent a community of hundreds of thousands.
If that community does not have the balls to speak out against the nutters, people are not going to think much of them either way. As the article pointed out, a large part of it is that the nutters actually have varying levels of support within that community. No doubt because Muslims themselves have fallen for the same thing.
Quote:They're worlds apart. Islam teaches to correct with wisdom. You are talking about a public condemnation. I'm sure you can't see the difference.
I see no wisdom in hiding while the lunatic speak on your behalf.
