    It's fitting that they're terrorising the most 'do gooder' state in the country.

    And who knows, it MIGHT temper some of the raving fundamentalism infesting Melbourne.

    there is a lot of false information but this is also a very real issue, as you state. Agreed... feeding the rhetoric makes tha problem worse.

    I would like to think you are correct, but wouldn't like to hold my breath waiting for these do-gooders to grow a brain.

    We were educated by our parents from a very young age, that only really stupid people refuse to see and recognise danger.

    It’s a massive field and I’m no expert but a few things that come to mind;

    The political environments across north Africa and the Middle East, which have had several decades of disruption, corruption and largely self-interested outside influences which maintain the entire region in flux and the current internal (or apparently internal) conflicts, civil wars and uprisings in the region. These are the kinds of things that lead to true refugees and related migrations to other parts of the world.

    Vast economic and social imbalances between different parts of the world, meaning a lot of people can move from a fairly standard situation in one place to the very bottom of society in another yet still feel much better off. Also the general economic direction the world is moving in and the inevitable shifts in the value and importance of different resources.

    Political opportunism, where setting someone or something up as “the enemy” or “the problem” is perceived as a legitimate tactic to win support without addressing any complexities of reality and the fact this sadly works.

    Human nature – that some people are willing to say and do much “worse” things to get what they want/need than other people. The fact some people are vulnerable and easily influenced and the fact those people are so often seen as fundamentally bad or irrelevant even before they’re taken advantage of. The pack mentality which means people can self-justify doing bad things to other people as long as they can be somehow perceived as “not like us”.

    And yes, Islam, in the manner in which it developed and its influence on the world at the moment. The apparent ease in which some people can use it to justify horrific acts and encourage others to carrying them out.

    You get the idea. Loads of interrelated problems, none of which can be simple “fixed” (indeed, some that can’t really be changed at all). If it were simple, we’d have fixed it already.

    If Islam is allowed to continue in its current form without any reformation, then its destined to turn human civilisation into a second religious Dark Age. A fanatic religion that discriminates against women; kills homosexual individuals; allows paedophilia; slaughters animals in a barbaric way; and allows beastieality.

    I'm sorry, but that is not a religion I want to encourage, and I have no respect for any person who follows that religion or agrees with that religion.

    I cannot wait until all this starts unfolding in Australia. Just looking forward to the day when it all comes crashing down around that stupid Sharia Hanson-Dumbs face. :clapping:

    What would expect from the Islam religion; Muslim worshipers; and Muslim supporters that condone paedophilia; discrimination against women; killing gay individuals; and the barbaric slaughter of innocent animals? :frown:

    I don't think it would be any different to these Muslim apologists allowing Ivan Milat to sleep in the same room as their kids. :steamed:

    Islam is kind of looking really good for men in Australia, but not too good for women and gay people. Kind of makes me wonder why so many women and gay people support Islam and Muslims, when Islam/Muslims want to discriminate against them, and kill them? :roflol:

    The real situation is that these people were not "psychologically diseased individuals" before arriving in Australia. Many were indeed small children or infants when they arrived. It is the Australian culture of exclusion from society of ethnic groups not favored by the majority which eventually causes the "psychological disease".

    Gangs start as small ethnic groups forming to protect themselves from intimidation and abuse and later evolve into criminality.

    Bullcrap. You're the type of person that would instantly blame Australians if one of these Africans farted the wrong way. Have you ever considered people taking responsibility and accountability for their own actions like everyone else has to do? What about white Australian kids born into low socioeconomic areas, who are excluded from society? They don't form APEX gangs and rampage though the suburbs acting out how hard-done by they are.

    Really looking forward to your next set of excuses.

    I cannot get my head around comments like this...you are literally excusing the gangs for their criminal violence and blaming Australian culture for their offences...gimmee a break...
    You sound a bit like a condescending american...how bout you take care of the racial divide in the USA before you
    start criticising another country...
    I noticed on the box the other nite all the racial riots in Dallas in the 60's.....nothings changed......
    Suggest you watch some old movies..."42" and "A Time to Kill"....racism is alive and well in the good ole US of A...

    You should know by now mate, that Australians are to blame for everything. Even if a fly has a crap crawling up a wall. :roflol: :roflol:

    Christ forbid, if anyone besides a white man was made to take personal responsibility and accountability for THEIR own actions and behaviour.

    Every excuse is made under the sun for the bad behaviour of every other race and culture, except the white Australian.

    If the white Australian did it, its racism, bigotry and discrimination, but for anyone else, its excuse after excuse after excuse. :wink:

    No, I am placing the blame where it lies. On the British and their descendants in Australia who fostered a culture of racism and exclusion.
