It's the Jihad, stupid.

What is happening is really very sad. I have a friend who is a Lebanese Christian and believe me he has little love for Syrians and the PLO. Our war is not against Arabs or any particular race. But against Islam and terrorism.

I think a little push back against Muslim gangs is a good thing as long as no one gets seriously hurt. They have been getting away with a lot under the banner of "multiculturalism" and "tolerance."

It is time Muslims learn they have to play by rules of society if they want to be treated as valuable members thereof.

Race riots? The MSM portrays this as a struggle of the economically disadvantaged against the privileged white class.....heck in a week or two the MSM might even admit the rioters aren't of the same religion.

Howzabout "Yomes", hence Momes and Womes ?

More like Aussie govt. seeks to keep Oz citizenry from fighting back and hurting any jihadists..

Muslims are a protected group that must be allowed to kidnap,gang rape,assault and or murder Aussie citizens at will without consequences from 'vigilantes' or other white people.

imo

"Lebanese descent" "Middle Eastern appearance" "Arab immigrants" that could include "Maronite Christians" "Italians or Greeks" "Chaldean Christians"

But we know THEY were not the ones rioting.

"...as Prime Minister John Howard acknowledged Wednesday this week's riots may have harmed Australia's image abroad."

To hell with "global consensus" and "image abroad", Australia's prime minister is first and foremost accountable to Australian citizens! Australia FIRST!

Until Aussie authorities crack down on the Muslim immigrants who feel rape is their right, native born white Aussies are going to continue to seethe with anger.

As it stands, liberals everywhere, from Oz to Europe to North America, feel that Muslim immigrants must be granted exceptional status, with the ability to rape and kill unchallenged.
