Some people are comfortable surrendering their culture and national identity without a fight, others not so much. I don't think it's wrong to protect one's culture or way of life, but I do think it's arrogant for a foriegner can come to my country and try to turn it into the country he fled from. As you can see from the link, regular folks just want Muslims to assimiliate and behave themselves, which is something that's more than reasonable. And of all the countries for this to happen in, I would have thought it would have been a European country, not Australia. Good for them.
Of course, the bigots have nothing to say other than their wish to oppose freedom and find ways to get keep their so-called "culture and national identity" on top of all the other people these bigots want to attack.
its always amusing to hear whites complaining about other cultures invading and refusing to assimilate. can you say Karma?
Especially in places like Australia and the US. There is something deliciously ironic about the whole thing.
The American Indians are for all purposes, conquered Indians. Forgive me for not wanting that fate for myself.
Wrong, maybe people have learned from history and don't want it repeated. In this country (that's America to you) we took control and booted your arse out only to see the current administration give it away without a shot being fired.
Both. Extremely. Actually, maybe they have something here in this "Halal Tax"! These nuts demand to ban the Trademark for the a association that certifies a particular Halal standard, much like the Certified Organic or the Olympics. I want to have the government ban the NFL! Then I can make a nice living selling NFL materials! Go for it! But you can't just ban Halal, all trademarks must be banned, but sounds good me!
Instead, I've learned through this discussion that there will never be a consensus between people who think like me and people who think like you. I've learned that you are willfully violent and the only way to deal with you, and those who think like you do, is to meet whatever violence you direct towards me with much more violence. Hands to yourself, don't die. I'm tired of being the only one who is even trying to understand, trying to get along. Good ol white guy. I no longer care. Get off my lawn.
Of course you want to make it about race when it is about the intolerance of Islam that is the problem but then, it does seem that liberals and Muslims have a lot in common when it comes to intolerance.
liberals think NO religion should be trying to inject their laws into government, keep religion and government separate.... I do not care if it sharia or biblical law, follow it yourself if you want, but don't try to make it the law of the land.... .
you know that wherever whites went they tried to impose christianity on their subjects with the result being the loss of millions of lives. think india, congo, the entire west afrikan coast, israel and many other places. lets discuss the reality of our western hypocrisy!
And anywhere Muslims go they try to impose Islam on their subjects with much loss of life. Your point?
