Muslims Immigrating to Australia

[donnashuggy]

Do you have anything against it?

Why?

What about other religions? Buddhists and Christians, are they ok?

Comments welcome 🙂

The thing about living in a democracy (actually, it's a representative democracy) is that the citizens get to vote for political parties which will represent their views.

So, once a population of people who have particular views achieves a certain numerical significance in a community (a state or even a country), then by virtue of the fair representative democratic process, those people will tend to vote for politicians who promote their wishes and their political views.

So, ok . . . once a certain percentage of the population is, say, Muslim, for example . . . then this group is going to want a voice in government and will try to elect representatives who will reflect the views and wishes of their constituents.

I'm sure you can extrapolate my argument from here.

Before I cme to Australia, my father told me; "You are going to a new country, you will have to learn the language, the laws and assimilate with local people if you want to become one of them and be accepted for the peron you are."

So you're a Peron.No wonder you left Argentina 🙂

I wonder why that concept doesn't apply to the people who move into a neighbourhood? one that is already established as a conservative, respectful one?

That's what the Irish were going to do, Acacia. They were going to outbreed the staunch, British protestants - because everyone "knows" Catholics breed like rabbits (sarc). They were going to flood the ballotboxes with Papist votes and wthin  few generations we were going to have a government that that would cut our ties with the British throne,  force us all to become papists and deliver us into the hands of Rome.  That was about 160 years ago, has it happened yet?

Mind you, we do now  have a Jesuit educated prime Minister ..................

Well exactly!!!  We now have a PM pushing his Catholic agenda.   Not right, is it?

No, but if he goes too far and bleeps off enough people, we have the ability to kick him out in a few years time and elect a less reactionary Government.

The same thing would apply if we had a Muslim Prime Minister.

The only way this country will ever be governed by Sharia Law will be if the majority of Australians decide that's what they want.
