I dont have any problem at all stating that some cultures are superior to others. theres a reason why nearly all cultures on this planet ape the west.

Their third and greater generations intermarry, Rhino.  As to what cultural practices do you find so abhorrent that you cannot even tolerate the knowledge they are being practised?  What harm do do they do to others?  We don't hear you going off about the Christians/Jews/Hindus/Buddhists who practise similar "cultural practises", nor the Australians like yourself who do them as well.  So, why Muslims of all people?  Is it because of the media attention which is lacking from all the other groups?

How have they failed to "fit in", exactly?  Wearing Hijabs?  Orthodox Jews and Christians wear veils over their heads.  Burqa?  A tiny minority no different to what Christian nuns often wore before Vatican II.   Who cares?  I don't.  Most other Australians don't either.   Who are you to determine what they can or cannot wear?

Quote:


Those are criminal offences and rarely, if ever occur in Australian jurisdictions, Rhino.   If you're aware of such offences occurring, report them to the Police!   Why focus on what a tiny minority do and brand the overwhelming, law-abiding, majority with their offences?

Quote:


Not mixed much outside your White, Anglo-Saxon/Celtic cultural group, have you, Rhino?   I've been aware of worse things occurring between different Italian groups, Yugoslav groups, Greek groups, etc., etc.  Yet you only ever pick on Muslims.  Why?  That media spotlight telling you what you should be outraged over again?   

Quote:


I know a great deal (but I admit not nearly enough) about Middle-Eastern culture.   Do you?

I note we've skipped over the questions I asked, Rhino.  You demand something but fail dismally to define it and how it should be measured.  Why?  Was it too hard to be objective about this issue?

The usual Islamophobic response, Soren.  No one is asking Australia, as a nation to conform to anybody's values.  Multiculturalism merely suggests they should be tolerated, as long as they are within the existing legal system, Soren.   Should we tolerate Lutheran, Danish values?

The politicians stood for re-election.  They were (for the most part) re-elected.  QED.

Matty, don't you think it's time you stopped this shenanigans?

Except you must remain law-abiding, now mustn't you, Matty?  And that includes section 18c of the Commonwealth Racial Discrimination Act.  Otherwise you'd be proposing to break the law and offend people, now wouldn't you?

I think it is over.  Islam has made itself an enemy, its own intolerance is being met with intolerance in turn.  It has demonstrated itself to be an unwanted cuckoo in the nest of societies that took it in to shelter it.  Islam cannot even play nice with itself. 

Ungrateful, hateful and dictatorial and in turn the west will become more intolerant and reject it.  We are in for a long ride. 

..........Islam has made itself an enemy, its own intolerance is being met with intolerance in turn....

I don't have to offend anybody. Sections of the muslim community are offending themselves. The more terrorism,shootings, rape , car re-birthing and ISIS recruits there are the more people who are thinking like me. I can't help it if muslims are basket cases.

Sure we are. Even schools no longer say the lords prayer, children are not allowed to say merry Chrismas, If I walk done the street with my entire face covered I will be stopped , questioned by the cops and told to remove it.they wouldnt dare do that to a Muslim female wearing the Burqa. I am not allowed to go into a bank, service station or like institution with my face covered, Muslim women are exempt from this. I have no choice with many food items which are Halal certified even though I dont require it. Do I need to go on? My culture is under seige Brian, and Quislings like you are eroding  the walls, but people are catching on. theres a big backlash now, one which can make or break the government at the next election. The bottom line is, we do not want any more Islamic immigration into this country, they are the worst migrants out of the lot and most Australians dont want them.
