joni im a female athiest (australian and irish background) and i severely disagree with your points of view. yes i know youve been to saudi arabia and all that and have very damaging memories about events over there. but what you have to understand that australia isnt saudi arabia. over here we dont have islamic soldiers beating and killing you if you dont follow their religion. i can see why you dont like their view and their acts. but you're really starting to sound like a bit of a .t. you also have to think of middle eastern people who leave their country to come to australia because they, like you, dont want to have a religion enforced upon them. and what do you want? to shut them off and throw them back in the middle east. im disgusted as an australian to have you with us because its just horrific what you think. and in addition, you're the type of people that make everyone around the world believe that australia is racist.
