The Tongans are South Pacific islanders, I think...somewhat similar culturally to Samoans and Maori and the like? Not people you want to piss off.

Dundee, keep your head down and stay safe.

Skips = Aussies (as in Skippy the Bush Kangaroo)

There is a very large Maronite Catholic Community in Australia. They fled there to escape Muslim oppression in Lebanon. Seems there is no escape!

Not sure about Tongans, but have heard stories from a friend of Japanese descent who grew up in Hawaii and was friends with a number of Samoans. If they perceive themselves to be insulted or wronged those peaceful Pacific Islanders become real bad dudes who won't stop till their honor is redeemed. They also tend to be built on the large and solid side. By reputation, they are indeed among the last people you'd want to pi** off.

What the worldwide press isnt telling people (big surprise!) is that a certain group of youth of a certain cultural extraction have been increasingly hostile and aggressive over the last several years. Gang rapes have been rampant. The police of NSW have been hog-tied in their ability to control the situation. Opportunistic groups like neo-Nazis joined in and now the MSM has been gleefully reporting that its a bunch of racists running ther show there.

FOUR churches in Sydney's southwest have been attacked in 24 hours as the city's riots spread from race to religion.

BS! Trying to paint the Aussies as racist attackers and the muslim response as nothing but retaliation.

I think that is gonna backfire as this will become Christian v's Muslim rather than Skips v's Lebs.

It always was muslim -v- infidel. It's just that by the time soccer hooligans are forced to step in and do what government won't, the underlying religious drivers are overlooked.

Okay, that gives me the correct frame of reference! Of course, I thought his name was Ozzie Osborne, not Aussie Osborne...Kidding! Spent a couple of weeks Down Under several summers ago and have never felt so welcomed. Our prayers are with you.

We need to start an underground railroad to get Guns in the hands of Christians in Australia and England. They are going to need them. You know the Muslims have them, they always have them.

Not being familiar with the details of Australian culture, who are Tongans?

[dinasour]

The coverage in the Australian, linked above, has been pretty fair.

Everything else has been appalling. They are all trying to "sell" the story that the Aussies are all a bunch of racists who just started running around and bashing a bunch of poor innocent ME's.

[Uncle Miltie]

Its always those riotous Mormons, Jews and Catholics that get the world into trouble.

BS! Trying to paint the Aussies as racist attackers and the muslim response as nothing but retaliation.

I'm waiting to hear the first person to say that its up to the Aussies have to "end the cycle of violence"

Take care of yourself and your family and friends.

Lying liars who lie.

This is just the opening salvo in yet another chapter in the ongoing attacks by the Cult of Death on The Way of Life.

Thank you for the inside information. Stand your ground. We are with you 100%.

This is not a race war, but a religous war. The whole world is involved, like it or not.
