What is the difference between British and Australian national and cultural identity
and how can non-Anglo-Saxon Australians integrate into it?

'UK chinese takeaway is a different thing to Australia chinese takeaway. You get more clear broth style things in UK, much less soy sauce & bbq sauce is used. British culture is Chinese curry sauce & chips'. President Xi imports tons of Chiko rolls which are hard-baked as roller-bearings under ship containers.

Please explain
Thank you

What is Russian cultural identity?

Dostoyevsky or Femen? Alcoholism or the gulags? Stalin or Putin?

How can the Chinese integrate into Russian cultural identity? How can Pakistanis?

READ THE YT PAGE COMMENTS !

Australian and British culture [respect it, OR hate it...],
emerged from a society of men,
respecting the CHARACTER of the Jewish/Christian God,
a character which is revealed within the Jewish and Christian scriptures.

TODAY.....
Many societies in this world seem to be choosing to take a deadly path,
of not scrutinising the truth or virtue [or falseness thereof],
of many new ideals which are being presented to them.

e.g.
"ISLAM is a religion of Peace."

and.....
"Followers of ISLAM are a virtuous people."

Loss of true virtue, loss of respect for truth [and loss of righteous behaviour],
will happen when we refuse to scrutinise the cultural values which are being proffered to us,
by those who embrace a new and 'different' culture,
and when we choose to tolerate ['episodes' of] deceit, and violence.

e.g.
"ISLAM is a religion of Peace."

No, ISLAM is NOT a truthful or virtuous philosophy, imo.

e.g.

Instruction from the prophet of ALLAH,
in the hadith....

"...the Prophet said,
'If somebody (a Muslim) discards his religion,
kill him."

- DEAD.
hadithsunnah/bukhari/ #004.052.260

.

"Tolerance becomes a crime when applied to evil."
- Thomas Mann

"Evil preaches tolerance until it is dominant, then it tries to silence good."
- Charles J. Chaput

.

John 14:6
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way,
the truth, and the life:
no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Q.
But, where is the 'proof', of Jesus virtue ?

A.
What values did Jesus tell all men,
to embrace and [seek to] adhere to ?

Matthew 19:17
[Jesus said].....if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
18 He saith unto him, Which?
Jesus said,
Thou shalt do no murder,
Thou shalt not commit adultery,
Thou shalt not steal,
Thou shalt not bear false witness,
19 Honour thy father and thy mother: and,
Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

Quote:

KJV
Blessed are the undefiled in the way,
who walk in the law of the LORD.

Ecclesiastes 12:13
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter:
Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.

'For this is [how we show, that] we love [of] God.....'

1 John 5:3
For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments:
and his commandments are not grievous.

Love God.

Love God's righteousness.

Be at peace.

1866 marks the arrival of the first commercial importation, funded by Thomas Elder of Beltana Station in South Australia, of 32 cameleers and 121 camels. The camels were purchased in camel markets in the Scinde and Rajasthan, and Kandahar in Afghanistan. The cameleers, contracted in the Scinde, Rajasthan and Afghanistan, were predominantly of Afghan descent and Moslem. Elder imported more Afghan cameleers and camels in 1884 and in 1893 to be used in South Australia, the Northern Territory and Western Australia. In the 1880s to 1910s Afghan camel merchants were travelling back to India and Afghanistan to purchase and import more camels and cameleers to work in New South Wales, Queensland and Western Australia. By the 1890s there were estimated to be about 1,000 Afghan cameleers in Western Australia and by 1901 3,000 overall in Australia. Australia has about 20 days of truck fuel reserves and camels are efficient during China's blockade.
