Azzanation said: Here is an example of letting migrants into a country and allowing them what they want. Down here in Australia, we have had many migrants, From the 80s we had a swarm of Europeans who accepted the Australian way. 90s we had a swarm full of Asians, who gladly accepted Australia’s way. In the 2000s we are getting many from the Eastern Europe countries who bring their strong religious beliefs with them. There’s nothing wrong with that, but now over the course of many years, they never accepted Australia’s way, in fact Australia rules are changing because of them. We are no longer aloud to sing the national anthems in our schools, we can’t even wave the Aus flag around without getting questioned due to racism. Most of the crime waves here are based around religious beliefs. Rape, thief, murder or stabbings tend to always lead to a Muslim or migrant. Many Muslim men condemn Aus woman who don’t fully cover up in towels. They don’t want to live under another rules, they want to live under their own rules but in another country. The way the world is going, by allowing migrants into their countries, in a matter of years the world will change. In another 10 years Australia’s will be another India, or Muslim country. Same goes for the rest of the world. Keep allowing these people in and the more they will slowly change the country to fit their needs. Here is what the audience is like in Australia and what they think of a British solder getting murdered in England. This is coming from what he thinks of our society. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ssj_pOHM8pg ^ I suggest those who want to defend what iv stated watch it before having your say in there defence. I walk the same streets as these men. |
It would really help if you got your facts straight.
The National Anthem is being sung in every school in Australia, with the exception of one or two backwards schools, pretty much all of which are cases of individual decisions without consultation. What you've done is bought into a number of hoax stories that claim that various schools prevented the singing of the national anthem, because of supposed complaints by certain segments of society...
... indeed, I'm betting that you also believe that Muslim children are walking out of the anthem because they're against it. Here's the big thing that your racist sources didn't tell you - they were walking out because it was during the Muslim equivalent of Lent, and during this period they're not allowed to do things that bring them joy. That's right - they were walking out because the Anthem brings them joy.
And the issue with people waving the Australian flag around isn't the waving of the flag, it's the idiots that drape themselves in the flag, and use the flag to justify their racism that are criticised. Nobody considers these children to be "questioned due to racism". Or these young Muslim girls. Our politicians constantly surround themselves with the flag. But when Bogans drape themselves in the flag, when they wave the flag while shouting racist sentiments, when they defile the flag with messages of intolerance, and especially when they do all of the above, they are rightfully called racist bigots.
Our national anthem has two verses - I'm betting that you, and the other so-called "patriots", aren't even aware of that. And in the second verse, one of the lines goes "For those who've come across the seas, we've boundless plains to share". That's right, for all your ranting, it is you and others like you who are defiling Australia, its flag, its anthem, and its culture.
But I do like how you used one interview with one muslim man, plus a few people around him, to justify your bias, but refuse to acknowledge the great violence done in the name of anti-islam. One of my good friends is a muslim. He's also incredibly pro-Australia. He is upset about actions taken in other countries, but he doesn't hesitate one iota before condemning the actions of groups like ISIS. In fact, he's more likely to believe that those people aren't Muslims at all.
You say "Many Muslim men..." - to that, I simply say [citation required]. You have zero evidence that more than a small subset of Muslim men do it.
Here are a few final facts. Muslims represent 2.2% of all Australians (which actually means there are more Buddhists than Muslims in Australia). Despite claims to the contrary, the vast majority of these are peace-loving, Australia-loving people who just want to live their lives by their religious beliefs, no different from the average Australian Christian. When they ask for Sharia Law, they're not asking for what you think they're asking for. They're asking for the right to have Islamic tribunals set up for dealing with issues between Muslims (who agree to take things to the tribunal instead of the courts) according to Islamic customs. They don't want to change any laws, they just want those tribunals to be able to pass the same kinds of decisions that can be passed by regular courts, and have them hold the same force. Note that it's the "same kinds of decisions" - no forced marriage, no capital punishment, no chopping off of hands, they don't want to be able to subvert existing law. They want things like the ability to apply Islamic principles of divorce settlements, for instance, if both parties agree to the tribunal.
They would still be 100% subject to Australian laws, and they aren't seeking to change those laws. Because Islam actually establishes the principle that you obey the laws of the land you are in - the only exception is where the law requires the Muslim to do what they consider sinful. Fortunately, Western nations don't force people to do things. That's why Muslims love it so much in Australia - in many of their countries of origin/ancestry, rulers have dictated what people can and can't do. They love Australia's religious freedom - they don't want to change it.
But hey, you're not going to read what I've had to say. And I accept that. You've made up your mind. All I can hope is that someone who might have been swayed by your misguided claims get to hear an alternative argument.
EDIT: Note that draping yourself in an actual Australian flag, as opposed to simply wearing things that have the Australian flag as part of their design, is considered defilement of the flag. Here's the RSL calling for a ban on Australians draping themselves in the flag. But the so-called "patriots", who will argue that they're defending what the soldiers fought for, aren't going to listen to those soldiers. It's not really about defending Australia. It's about attacking Muslims and defending racism.
