Your words are strong - and could be construed by _some_ as "hateful" - but they are true, nonetheless.
I've come to conclusion that there are but two sides that can be taken in the Australian riot situation:
1. The side of the native-Australian rioters, which is, essentially, anti-Muslim and anti-immigrant and seeks to [physically and literally] drive Islamics out of Australian society -or-
2. The side of the Islamics (who seek to behave by their own cultural "values" (if one can call them that) - and by implication, the viewpoints of "multiculturalism and moderation" as well, that _support_ their "right" to behave in those ways.
Some will interject that there is a "middle ground", and that all concerned should "respect the law".
But Islamics will never "respect" Western law and culture. They will only endure it - until they garner enough strength (supported by demographics and law) with which to replace it with their own laws and culture, and reduce Westerners to dhimmitude.
What is going on in Australia is little different from what went on in Bosnia before the Serbians were driven out with force (regretfully, much of that supplied in the form of United States bombing). We are witnessing two incompatible cultures fight it out for control of territory.
Other folks have written on Free Republic about the resolve of native Australians. Perhaps the same might have been said of the Serbians - until we reduced them to rubble.
Could there be "ethnic cleansing" in Australia?
If there was, would YOU support it?
I will state upfront that I support the "Aussie Crusaders" and wish them victory.
