For God's sake lets all try to live together in Peace

If people wish to believe in any particular faith ,so be it . but do not go and live within a different society and use that faith to alter what others wish to believe, Its just not their business..Wouldnt it be wonderful if we could all live under the law of the land together peacefully ,minding our own business. It doesn't seem possible,that this would ever happen.

And why do Muslims travel through major Muslim countries like Malaysia and Indonesia to enter Australia. Perhaps the Social Security Benefits are more attractive than their faith, and they seem to use their Faith as a reason to ignore the laws of the land.

I have often thought that America ,England , Australia ,and several other countries should stand up and apologise to the whole world for interfering in other countries affairs, withdraw all their spies, politicians, armed forces back home and put those costs into developing and improving our own countries, and let all the rest develop and look after themselves.

Stop handing out all these aid packages etc etc etc that cause corruption in those Nations. When there is a disaster let them handle it with their own society. Fancy Australia with run down Hospitals and Schools, people without shelter sleeping in the streets, Pensioner struggling to live on their miserable allotment, and I could go on and on, yet little ole Australia with a working population of about 10 million can hand out $800 million maybe more, to help the Indonesians and others. what are the other 1.2 billion Muslims in the world giving? Are our politicians trying to big note Australia or somebody else. Maybe we should agree to a date and everybody should return to their land of parent origin.
