Oh, Really, Julie? Australian Liberals, Islam, Lebanon, Lebanese, Immigration,

Thanks for the reply!

Guess what Julie? If your government does such a good job of INTEGRATING (note there is a difference between integrating and pandering), then why do have all of these problems by Lebanese Muslims? The same problems that Western Europe has?

We don't have that problem here in America, because a lot of us aren't ashamed of our country or of what our forefathers did to gain acceptance of people who are different. We assimilate them into our capitalist society and it enables them to make a decent living without the help from the government.

And yes, I am well-traveled, and I actually go to places besides the guided tours with heavy security and where the locals are given, shall we say, "incentive" to leave the tourists alone (in places we are regarded as rich snobs despite all the pandering that the First World elitist left does).

But more importantly, I've studied global politics and social change----I just haven't been falling for the indoctrination of the Western left is the difference and I try and see things clearly without the slant.

Even if you live in Australia, it doesn't necessarily mean you know about the issues there, especially if your main resource is the newspaper.

My guess about how they feel is related to the fact of their involvement in riots, street gangs, and gang-rape and showing those "Aussie" sluts, as they call them.

To paraphrase British atheist comedian Pat Condell "If just for five seconds [you] could stop complaining about the Americans and look at the issues in your own backyard, things just might get better."

God Bless
