Bendigo is in the goldfields - beautiful old buildings, unbelievable gardens, right into sport, really good looking place.

 

Very multi cultural - stong Indigenous history, huge Chinese history (museum, gardens, joss house etc etc), heaps of Karen refugess, biggest Buddhist Temple and Centre so u can see it very multi cultural

 

What we dont have is a mosque. What the Muslims are planning to build is a mosque.

 

OMG = Shame Job = people are protesting, I am so embarrassed by these people. Why these people do this? Are they ignorant or what? Or are they really truly scared these Muslims (Who live here already) are all of a sudden gonna turn into terrorists cos they have a mosque?  This is very weird.................. they pray now but at the Uni, there be a prayer room, whatever thats called, they want there own place.

 

So I ask these people - "What exactly is the problem here?" And I get stuff like "terrorists, go home to their own country (When they say this I lift an eyebrow and stare at em but they miss it ofcourse)

 

Im not Muslim, I dont even know a Muslim but I dont understand one bit why we protest against people wanting a church, this embarrasses me LOL

 

Do you people have mosques near you? Is this a big deal?

Fair enough, Iza.   On the one hand, I do think it is important to be aware of those who spread fear and intolerance (extremists) but on the other, I don't think we should give them the attention......

 

 


 

that should apply to each and every person who spreads fear and intolerance (extremists) right ?

and yet now as a result of just that...we elected a man to be our PM

and it would seem obvious to me and I don't have to look far, that the same is still being done in order to support the leader of our Country

Has this turned into an Abbott bashing thread now?

It's all relative in a discussion about public attitude to a Mosque...public attitude,which may affect people's acceptance of others is affected by the sort of messages which were and are given out.

 

Much more relevant and appropriare than bashing other Ebay members wouldn't you agree ?

A change from creative writing and g-dropping in an informal setting I suppose ( which does equate to bashing another poster ).
