Aussie Values: Save us the embarrassement!

Ref yantric #31

[Like the indignation by muslims about Australia. How about talking about the Saudi Arabia and the way they treat people who come to work there.]

Are you talking here about the fact that they take away and throw into trash copies of the Bible and Bhagavad Gita or are you talking about how they treat all Pakistanis as trash?

If Australians practically imprison their imported domestic help and rape them and starve them at will, we will hear even more from Saeed Khan who wants to uphold ``Australia values`` in Australia. However, he will be for upholding ``Islamic values`` in Islamic countries and, God forbid, in Australia if Australia ever has a sizeable Muslim population.

Re: # 32
Those that were Afghans all said Pakistan wasn`t really safe for them, and personally I accept that-so do most refugee advocates. They said there was no way of staying out of the conflict from Pakistan, and they just wanted nothing more to do with it.
Refugee groups have traced what happened to refugees that were sent back to their own countries and in several cases, they were injured or killed. I don`t doubt that these were people in danger.

Dear Hamid:

You wrote to urstruly {...... hindoos, homosexuals, hindoo homosexuals, ............ }

Can you make a distinction between these three groups?

{......... more importantly, they must not walk the to the welfare office to collect their cheese and check dressed in a night gown and slippers ........ }

And why not? Do we have any kind of laws against them?

Respectfully submitted,

Re: # 32
and no one actually threw their children overboard at all, it was a false accusation.

Proof, if in fact it is needed, that Islam is a disease that afflicts the mind.

Issa al-Hindi who was indicted in the US for conspiring to blow up financial institutions located in the United States, including the New York Stock Exchange, International Monetary Fund, Citigroup, and the Prudential headquarters, etc. was a Hindu named Dhirin Barot who converted to Islam.

Does anybody still want to uphold Islamic values?

Enough is enough. I am tired of the @#$#@%&*%$@ Muslims on this @#$#@%&*%$@ planet!

behram,

....... i knew you would be the first one to pick up the obvious redundancy in my statement !! :)) ........ shabash !

``To save Australia from this embarrassment, it may be more appropriate to develop a Diversity Test for politicians to see how much they know about the history of multiculturalism and its role in today’s Australia. How much they know about the contribution made by the migrant communities in making Australia what it is today.`` It will be interesting to find out how much the political class knows about diverse ethnic communities it represents in our parliaments``

A good suggestion Mr. Khan. Similarly, the test should be compulsory for all high school students . If a test were to be taken now, the migrant children will do better than the so called Aussie Aussies. The Gov. should scrap the test as it will trivialise citizenship. After all a person who has migrated with baggage and family has already made a commitment. English language, while immensely useful, is not absolutely essential for the deep personal commitment that citizenship involves. There are many immigrants especially from China, Malta, Greece etc, who have made tremendous contributions without actually knowing much of the language. Australia`s multicultural society should be seen as the nation`s greatest achievement.

What`s the big deal about multiculturalism? Seems like another meaningless phrase cooked up by liberals too lazy to actually think.
