Last week, a convicted gang rapist claimed he assaulted a 14-year-old girl because she was not wearing traditional Muslim dress and he thought she was promiscuous.

Oh...that makes it OK...NOT.

Whoa, can a similar commentary piece ever see the light on any paper in Canada?

Pointing to cultural differences, the 27-year-old Pakistani-born man said: "I believed at the time I committed this offence that she had no right to say no. I believed I'm not doing anything wrong." A month ago his lawyer told the court his client was a "cultural time bomb".

These guys can't even see the contradiction here. If all Muslims are "cultural time bomb" rapists, then the obvious thing to do is to throw them out or at least stop letting them in.

Talk about shooting your own side in the ...

If we are not talking openly about egregious aspects of some cultures (except as an excuse), we have only ended up with a bigger problem.

There it is - a good word - "egregious"

Is there a word in Arabic for assimilate? Tolerate?

Is there a part of their so called religion that teaches that? Beyond the dhimmi status of those they have conquered?

I find it interesting - first France, now OZ. The wogs get busy. I see no master plan at all. I see mooslin youts watching a lot of TeeVee and going out on a spree.

I would advocate for a hard respose to all such.

Bob Brown is a card-carrying, fully paid-up moron.

One can only speculate on which planet he's from.

I read an article earlier that suggest the riots were instigated by Austrailian neo-nazis. When Muslims riot, it rightious anger. When riots defend their turf, its racism. Hopfully one day the term "racist" will have been used so much, to cover so many different situations, it will have lost its power.

I just want everyone to see what 5,000 drunken skinheads look like when they go on a rampage and assault a few innocent 'men of middle eastern appearance'.

Looks like you folks got a real problem over there...
Not only muslims not interested in acclimating to civilization, but Aussie politicians who want to enable them to remain savages.
Whew!

There will never be race riots in untopia, I mean Canada! Now all these unfortunate young men of middle eastern appearance might like to migrate to Canada, a truly multicultural and tolerant society. They would be much happier there than in racist Australia and at least during Canada's long winter would be discouraged from wondering the streets at night smashing cars and throwing rocks.

...multiculturalism, though a fine sentiment, can only work if we unite behind a core set of values.

Bears repeating.

No, they aren't...I didn't mean you ALONE had a problem...only trying to be sympathetic to your plight...didn't mean to step on your toes.

Shots fired into cars at carol service
December 14, 2005

SHOTS were fired at teachers' cars, and parents and children were abused at a primary school Christmas carol service in Sydney, the Catholic Church has said.

The Catholic Archbishop of Sydney, George Pell, said people at a service on Monday night at St Joseph the Worker Primary School in Auburn were abused by men of Middle Eastern appearance.

He said shots were also heard and staff yesterday morning found bullet holes in their cars.

No one was hurt.

Cardinal Pell says he is deeply concerned by the targeting of Christmas celebrations for students as young as five and the attack appears to have been motivated by religious intolerance.

Police said yesterday they were investigating the incident, which came on the second day of race-based violence that started with riots at Cronulla on Sunday.

Two damaged cars and cartridges found at the scene will be forensically examined.

Meanwhile, a surf carnival for Sydney's North Cronulla beach this Saturday has been cancelled amid fears that race riots will continue into the weekend.

Surf Life Saving NSW said a large-scale beach carnival had been postponed indefinitely after two days of tension on several city beaches.

Its chief executive, Phil Vanny, said the decision was unfortunate but necessary.

"Given the current levels of tension around Cronulla, the movement wholeheartedly supports the decision made by the branch," he said.

Mr Vanny said many members were worried about travelling to the Sutherland Shire following the outbreaks of violence.

He said the annual surf carnival, which usually attracts 1000 competitors, may be held at a later date.

Volunteers would work with police and the Government to "ensure that the current situation has as little impact on our members as possible".

More than 20 men were charged and dozens were injured after rioting at Cronulla on Sunday and Monday nights.

I have a proposal. John Howard can negotiate a deal with Paul Martin which proposes that any Australian citizens either born in certain countries or are first generation descendents of those who are so, can enjoy criteria-free fast-tracking immigration to Canada. The condition is that they must settle in either Ontario or Montreal area in Quebec, and give up their Australian passports when they get PR for Canada.

In this way, the Australian men and women in Southwestern Sydney and Cronulla are happy that the gang rapists and drug dealers are gone forever, and Canadians living in the 416 and inner-905 ridings (Toronto) will be happy of enhancing Canada's ethnic diversity and commitment to multiculturalism.

How's that a deal, Australia and Canada? ;-)

Now this speaks volumes. Archbishops and Cardinals are politicians first and foremost. For Archbishop Pell to tell the truth about the situation tells the world how bad it is.

No problem...been there myself.
This whole issue of islamics vs. civilization day after day in the news tends to become frustrating.
