Thanks for your reply, Aqua
It didn't click when I looked at the video stub, but the moment you began talking about her, I realised who she is. Of course. I've read about her, not in depth
So, is education the solution? She was willing to take other views on board. Wonder how common her story is?
In the past, in here, I've said I believe it's just a matter of time and gradual assimilation before perhaps third or fourth generation islamic migrants let go of their forebears' beliefs and values. I've seen it with Christian Lebanese -- the parents were completely unschooled and after arriving in Australia in the 50s/60s were distraught when their children (brought as infants to Australia) chose to live like their Aussie friends. The parents attempted to beat and bully their kids into remaining within the Lebanese community, but they simply succeeded in alienating their own children. Even the language became a barrier because their kids weren't fluent in their parents dialect
Now the members of that family are into their third generation in Australia. The grandchildren of the original migrant grandparents have for the most part married within their Lebanese community (which is a very small number, worldwide) but their friends are from every nationality. And no doubt the fourth generation (great grandchildren of the original migrant couple) will stretch even further outside the Lebanese community, possibly marry those of different nationalities
all that seems a great length of time, but actually it's occurred within an ordinary human lifespan of roughly seventy years
The children of the first migrant couple mentioned above were torn and rebelled not only against their parents' migrant community, but also against Australians. They robbed, raped, bashed, etc. Aussies copped the brunt of it. To be suspected is that it's similar within the middle eastern muslim migrants
The rebellion issue is understandable. Middle easterners are tribal in many cases. They know strength lies in numbers. The parents hammer the kids with their religion and make them feel guilty, traitors, if they stray. But those migrant kids want to conform with Aussies. So they're torn and feel guilty whichever way they turn. For kids raised in unsophisticated homes, it's very difficult. They feel inferior compared to Aussie kids, so they join gangs to 'get even' with those whom they'd actually like to be
The misogyny remains a huge problem regardless of the passing of time, unfortunately. But that's true of the wider community, regardless of nationality
We have muslim neighbours. They were obviously brought here when young or were born here, because they speak Aussie English like natives, although when together they speak their own language. They don't bother anyone, everyone says gooday to them and so on
The problem seems to be Islamic education/schools, which would obviously perpetuate, as intended, the religion, etc. Hard for them to assimilate when kids are closeted in Islamic schools and unable to mix from childhood with the host population
but, also the reverse comes into play. If I were a child seeing an outside world and warned about participating in it, I'd for sure develop a healthy curiosity about that outside world and as I grew older, I'd be drawn to it simply because my repressive parents were a pain in the bum. My question would be, Why bring me here if you stop me from actually living here? And I'd be correct. For sure, the Lebanese kids I mentioned earlier were of that attitude and the more their parents tried to hold them within the Lebanese community, the more those kids fought to break free of it
Also, the Islamic fence can't be erected when migrant kids start attending university. So I'm trusting that muslims will adopt Australia and more fully with each passing generation
but the Usual Parasites will have to be prevented from sending any more African muslims to our country, because there are more social issues to be feared with them than just that of religion. The Parasites have done their best, aided by some in government, paid by Aussies, to give us a never-ending race problem, as they did with the US (and now Europe generally). The Parasites don't want them though. The Parasites claim they must protect their 'homogeneity'
(meaning, I guess, all those red haired Russian settler garbage)
