It's got nothing to do with Australia besides being a group of Australian's. They have more in common with each other then the rest of the nation... its just how bogan's roll and they do it to each other and their wives and kids all the time I bet. The deaths in Iraq were from Sunni and Shia violence not the US, and that is still going and has been since the first Muslim Civil War in 657 CE.
Oh dear, it is fine for you to troll about yet when your hypocrisy is pointed out... after all it is you who predicated your premise with insult...
We have Australian men who are rapists, serial rapists, even. I don't see hundred of men descending upon them, smashing them with beer bottles. If it was about 'rape'... then Australian rapists would be bashed with beer bottles, too (?)
For christs sake, Gwendoline, its your f@cken thread....I wasnt there....I dont condone what happened....... Im just saying this is what could have caused the Cronulla riots....of course there was racism involved.... Why did you start the thread in the first place....we all know what happened......... You could have titled the thread "why are we racists..."
Sorry for drawing attention to Australians behaving disgustingly... cos it's only Muslims who behave disgustingly. Why? 10 year anniversary. Dec 2005.
Gwen, I just don't think there is any excuse for why people stereotype others and that includes all sides . It has to be about the perpetrators not their religion or their race. Those blokes who gang rapped those girls are absolute animals and deserved their punishment. They happen to be Lebanese Muslims. I think the thread is good in raising these issues. Magoo, don't bloody pretend, you've been bashing Muslims on the other thread so dont think you are being genuine. If there was a suggestion that all white males are the same because of the many gang rapes perpetrated by white males, I would bloody take exception. It pisses me that people take this shallow, dumb, uneducated hillbilly approach to such matters!
Go have a bloody sook. No ones attacking you, but the attitudes around the issue on the whole that is.
First time on any thread I was agreeing with your statement on this issue until YOU decided to say "They happen to be Lebanese Muslims" This being totally irrelevant to the issue one has to ask, " If you are claiming that religion or race should not have anything to do with the crime, what point is it to point out their race and religion???" You are half way there but until you stop predicating racism as some sort of political issue you will remain focused on remaining completely ignorant to the reality... Generally that one little point you made clearly demonstrates the remainder of your comments... Well, let us put it this way, when you say "It pisses me that people take this shallow, dumb, uneducated hillbilly approach to such matters! " I ask why do you hate yourself so much???
It was a typical conflict situation between street gangs. Lebanese Australians and white Australians had to engage in street fights to defend their honour and manhood. Otherwise, the reputation of your ethnic group was at stake and you would be getting bullied like Chinese Australians, who usually remain silent when they are racially abused in public places.
There were many cowards involved in that incident, including the Muslims that went on a rampage afterwards attacking innocent people who were not involved, and damaging innocent peoples property. The Australian police demonstrated how gutless and cowardly they were that night. Big and brave against a few white people, but turned absolutely YELLOW when confronted by a few hundred rampaging Muslims. Even allowed a few hundred Muslims close down and blockade a major public street in Canterbury; don't think they would have let a few hundred white people do the same without calling in the RIOT SQUAD.
Yes I never heard about that, thanks for letting us know, could you provide links so we can read about it? - - - Updated - - - No matter what, it is the Muslim's falt.
