Town moves against Islamic school
bbc ^ | 26 May 2008 | By Nick Bryant

ith its lace curtain bungalows and steepled Anglican church, the once tranquil town of Camden in New South Wales seems the most improbable of settings for a row that combines race and religion.

Proud of its rich history, the town promotes itself as "the birthplace of the nation's wealth", for it was here, in the early 19th Century, that the sheep and dairy industries first began to flourish.

Now the town, which lies on south-west fringes of Sydney, is confronting a very 21st Century issue: the proposal to construct an Islamic school for some 1,200 Muslim pupils.

Behind the proposal is the Sydney-based Quranic Society, which has purchased 15 acres of land on the fringes of town, and produced detailed plans and designs.

None of them reference any obvious Islamic influences. Functional and non-descript, the two-story school could easily be a light industrial development.

"At the council's headquarters, 12 bulging ring-binders hold more than 3,200 submissions from the public. Only 100 are in favour of the development. The council will deliver its verdict either later this month or early next."

“Camden residents will not give up easily.

“This town has fought all sorts of developments,” Andrew Wynnet. “It will take on all-comers regardless of religion.””

Bullshit. This has nothing to do with race or religion.

It has everything to do with a tyrannical political movement that uses the mask of race and religion to keep the multiculti neutered Western societies from defending themselves.

Since 9-11 Muslims have been flooding Western cultures WHICH REPRESENT EVERYTHING THEY HATE and establishing a huge pissed off segment that pushes for more rights every day. Why would they go to countries and cultures they despise if it wasn't for populating it and eventually dominating it?

How blind has everyone become?

Too bad. When I say the title I was hoping this “town” was in Minnesota. Oh well...

“..it was here, in the early 19th Century, that the sheep and dairy industries first began ..”

Now we begin to understand why the ragheads want to come to this area. It’s an attempt to establish the first Islamic e-harmony settlement.

Where does the money for this crap come from. The obvious answer is Saudi Arabia and other oil rich Muslims. Each Mosque is an Islamic base on foreign soil

Very good questions. I wish there were a single politician anywhere who would answer them honestly, but I won't hold my breath. They seem to be quite at peace with the way they have revealed themselves to be craven, useless, coiffured, tassle-loafered invertebrates.

Admit it, you're talking about the sheep, aren't you.

im disgusted! all you ppl n here are soo racist and against islam? whats your issue what are you all scared off? its just a school! like a private catholic school, this is a muslim school. were not all bad ppl and terrorist thank you very much! you cnt sterotype us based of a few stupid and crazy ppl in the community, when a white person in the community commits murder, we do not say that all white ppl are murderers? do we? so why the hell are you saying that all us muslims are bad? were not. so whats the issue with having a school there? its an educational institution approved by the govt! yet all these camden locals are acting like dogs and saying that they dnt want it! screw you and ur australian nature, i am australian and very proud but not to be associted with types of racist australian’s like you’s. and one more thing these muslim skools are not funded by arabian oil companies thank you very much, muslim communities give out donations to help build what we feel would be good for our children. to bring them up with and education and help them understand our true religion which is about peace and purity!

Islam is not a race, it’s a religion. Didn’t they teach you the difference in school?
