You are talking some sense here, as I've said before, you seem to have a brain unlike certain other people.
The point I was making was that you simply can't incite people to head back down to Cronulla Beach again this Sunday and once again bash someone of a certain race or appearance.
You can't organize violence. The wider community won't put up with it, lest not an under pressure Govt and Police Force.
You are the typical hand-wringing, back-stabbing, do-ggoder "Il' tell sir on you" dobber. You are the very example of what some in this country have sadly been turned into.
You are not only a very foolish man- you are a traitor to the memories of our forefathers.
As a Lebanese Maronite Christian, I would like to say that our people have fought against the Muslims for over one thousand years in order to survive. Our people are still under siege by Muslims today.
Our people have been in Australia since the late 19th century and many of us have contributed greatly to the building of the nation. We have leaders in government and business such as Marie Bashir - Governor of NSW; Steve Bracks - Premier of Vic; John Symonds - Aussie Home Loans; David Malouf - Writer, etc. Many of us are astonished that the Australian government allows the Muslims into the country. They should have never been allowed in. These Muslims have disgraced the Lebanese name in Australia and around the world.
If the Christians hadn't been divided as a people in the civil war, we together with our Israeli allies, could have put our foot down on these pests and kept them in their place. For failing to do that, we should apologise to all Australians.
Correct. It happens spontaneously, and years of pent-up rage toward these death-to-the-great-satan dune coons will find an outlet one way or another. The patience of "infidels" isn't infinite, mate...
>artie morty >You forgot to mention this whole thing occured because a gang of >Lebanese thugs beat up some life guards at Cronulla.
Artie, these thugs you're referring to either have been, or will be, arrested too.
I don't think the courts, corrupt and unjust at times I know, will in this case discriminate on "ethnic appearance"
You guy's got it all wrong down at Cronulla the other day and you lost the support of the wider Australian community which would have been crucial for you to achieve a successful outcome...which is no bullshit behavior at the beach.
In short, you stood up for something you believed in but eventually went about it the wrong way.
As an anglo-celt Australian I feel less safe walking the streets today than I did on Saturday, thanks mate...is this the outcome you really wanted?
If you keep up your bloodlust, the only inevitable conclusion is that people are going to get killed and the really sad part of that is, which really pisses me off, is that it could well be someone who is completely innocent.

We were let down by academics with a 'coffee coloured people' agenda. They converted Rock-n-Roll music of John Lennon into social philosophy. Those people are now in charge of schools, are 100% Labour or Bob Brown followers, and despise the white man's achievements. The end result of this philosophy is eventually civil war against Muslim intolerance. The riots are only the beginning. A list of the names of those involved in changing the White Australia Policy needs to be distributed.

Thank you for understanding that this is not about the Lebanese as a community, it is about the Lebanese thugs who go around in gangs raping and beating Australians, and trying to control pockets of our country with their pack mentality..
As a community, Australia has welcomed many cuultures, and they only dissaprove when the Australian way of life, into which these immigrants have been invited, is threatened.
I don't think this has anything to do with religion as a whole. If it did, intollerance would have reared its ugly head years ago. It is the fear of fundamentalism (at present Islamic) and the seeming lack of a suitable response from the Islamic community, or in fact acceptance that fundamentalism is grown and nurtured within its community, that has created hatred.
The Lebanese gang - rape and criminal mentality has just set it off.
The people you mentioned above are all great Australians.
It is a pity they may be tarnished because of a group of thugs and rapists who obviously don't give a damn about anything but themselves.
This can be fixed very easily - the Lebanese leaders like Keyser Tran, and the parents of the animal thugs who do this have to accept responsibilty for their communities actions, and not hide behing the easy and completely false front of rascism.
Do that, and the Lebanese community problem goes.
Of course, we still have to deal with the gangs, which just seem to be a part of some Lebanese male life.

Don't shout at me, you stupid fuck.
This has nothing to do with religion - it is about stopping gangs of Lebanese thugs raping beating and killing Australians.
It is about making the Lebanese community accept there is a problem within their male culture that makes many of them sexual deviates and criminals.
What do they say - "fuck em, they deserve it, because they are Skips'.
Nice group of people we have let into the country - fuck us because we are Australian.
You can hide behing religion and rascism as an excuse all you want.
But you are wrong.
As long as the Lebanese males running these gangs exist and threaten Australias way of life, they will be hated.
And the solution to fix it rests within the Lebanese community.
Fix your gang rapist criminal male mentality that seems to be such a big part of being a Lebanese man, take some responsibility as a community for what these tools have done, stop it happening, and the problem of hatred will dissapear.
The question is - does the Lebanese community have the guts, or in fact do they even care enough as a group, to fix the problem.

Will they? Given the police's total lack of response previously, we have to wonder. But then, you have so much faith in the system so it seems. A liberal apologist, perhaps?

Gotta catch 'em first.

You speak for the "wider Australian community"? Hilarious. Dream on!

Sometimes resistance has to break laws in order to change laws. Perhaps this is the start of a revolution of thinking in this country which takes it away from the hand-wringing liberals and PC do-gooders and puts it in the hands of those who know and care.

You should, after all those leb criminals run riot of a night and have little to fear. Oh, but wait, I thought you had great faith in the police??? Is it waning already?

Looney Tunes! This whole thread truly is!
So much vile hate and irrational fear! So much degenerative violence!
There is a quick way to fix that! Get the f... racist garbage like you onto beach and also send Leb gangs to the same place! And than we let the US Air Force target practice! We would get rid of the gangs, the hooligans and the useless white supremacists in one great sweep! It would also strengthen the Australian US military alliance! Think about it! You demise could serve this great country of ours immensely!
Golly I am sure they arrested and charged several people over bashing the life guards
But it still amazes me as I watch rational people watch hoWARds insane racist policy drive a stake through the last bits of wot was a fine country just a few years ago
Australians who insist it is their responsibility to destroy any hope there is of saving it LIKE we have to destroy it or the muslims might take it over
RACISTS think they can bash muslims to death cos muslims are scum and "WE" are the good white christians so we have to bash them to death
WElL WE HEAR YOU LOUD AND CLEAR AND AS WEV KNOW THE LAW WILL NEVER PROTECT MUSLIMS IN THIS COUNTRY WE MUST PROTECT OUR FAMILIES ANY WAY WE CAN
YOU WHITE CHRISTIANS ALWAYS WIN ROUND ONE
WE NEED TO PLAN LONG TERM STRATEGIES TO DEFEND OUR FAMILIES FROM YOU BLOODTHIRSTY SAVAGES

You are living in a fantasy world Blair.
I come from Adelaide, not Sydney, and we went through the same thing a few years ago with gangs over here and their 'Bash and Aussie a Day' kick.
These guys are swine, not people.
The incident at Cronulla happened because a Lebanese gang bashed Cronulla Beach life guards and tried to enforce their rule over the beach.
The Aussies retaliated because of one thing - a loss of faith in Australian law.
They felt they had no option but to take the matter into their own hands, and unfortunately, that is never pretty (especially when youth and booze are included).
I agree that it was ugly - but sometimes a little rebellion is needed to make the authorities act.
And our authorities are lackluster - police force under staffed and a government too interested in being politically correct to be effective.
This has been brewing for20 years, because the Lebganese have developed a gang rape violence culture that was not stopped at inception.
It has nothing to do with religion or race - it is purely about the change in the Australian way of life because of the mentality of some Lebanese men, who think it is correct and just to rape 'Skips' and abuse the Australian people and their laws.
Australians have lost faith in theie own system to adequately deal with the problem - and who can blame them.
This is a law and order problem only, and is being hidden by self serving sycophants under the guise of religious and cultural rascim.
I wish you guys would stop saying "Lebanese men" because you are including people like me with those Muslim cockroaches. Our people are nothing like the Muslims. We never were and we never will be. The only reason we speak Arabic is because the Islamic armies subjugated us 1,300 years ago and tried to erase our identity, which is what they are still trying to do to us in Lebanon today.

How can other Australians distinguish between you and a Muslim? Do you wear a crucifix, for example? How can you publicise it?

If we are at the question of identification, how can I distinguish between a white hooligan racist scum thug and an innocent and friendly Aussie youth? Is the former one wearing a swastika while the latter wearing flowers?

Your answer is here, Ahmad (links and massive number of comments in original). The results are now in and the overwhelming consensus is that your vile cult is the real culprit. The writer poses the question "Is Islam the problem", presumably so as not to be labelled an "Islamophobe". We all know the answer to that.
Of course, the marauding boneheads who rampaged through Cronulla on Sunday don't make this distinction. If they did, perhaps they would realise that when they screech "Lebs out" they are also referring to the majority of Lebanese Australians who are Maronite Christians, in communion with the Roman Catholic Church.
By their chants, they are also demanding the expulsion of NSW Governor Marie Bashir and her husband, Sir Nicholas Shehadie, two of the finest citizens this state has ever produced; and Victorian Premier Steve Bracks, one of the most outwardly knockabout political leaders in Australia. Lebanese all.
The problem is not the blood that runs through people's veins. Any form of discrimination based on race or ethnicity -- based on the colour of one's skin or hair or eyes -- is inherently immoral, illogical and evil.
But culture and religion are behavioural. They involve values.
People can be born into a particular culture or religion but sooner or later they reach an age of reason where they can embrace or reject their precepts. And if people freely embrace a culture that is antithetical to the prevailing social mores -- in our case, I would hope, liberal, enlightenment values -- then we are entitled to judge, object, censure and even discriminate.
Which brings us to this extremely prickly issue of radical Islam.
My colleague on this paper, Nadia Jamal, has mounted a strong and sophisticated argument that the issue is not religion but culture, specifically the patriarchal culture that prevails in many traditional Muslim households. This is a good point but I think it diplomatically sidesteps the fact that some strains of Islam do, indeed, sanction attitudes and behaviour that are not simply patriarchal but repressive.
When groups of young Muslim men stalk the beaches of Sydney making sexually threatening comments against women in bathing costumes, as they indisputably do; and when they believe they act with the license of a sheik who claims that such women are responsible for their own sexual violation, is their religion, at least in part, to blame?
I do not embrace multiculturalism, as such, because I do not believe all cultures are compatible with non-discriminatory liberalism. I prefer a multi-ethnic, non-racial society, which has at its core a canon of values that include racial and gender equality.
I admit to feeling a little uneasy at the sight of a Muslim woman shrouded not simply in a headscarf but a face-concealing, head-to-toe chador, and wonder just how much choice she has had in deciding her lifestyle. I am not hugely sympathetic to a Muslim seeking asylum because he claims to have been discriminated against because of his support for sharia law.
I cannot celebrate such culture in the way that I celebrate Italian National Day in Leichhardt or the Tet festival in Cabramatta or Greek Orthodox Easter or a Seder at Passover or a service of Eritrean Orthodox Church, such as the one I attended a couple of years ago in a borrowed Church of England in London, or lunch with a couple of Palestinian intellectuals.
Some multicultural theorists will squawk and say that I prefer only a soft multiculturalism (if they insist on calling it that) that does not offend western liberal values. They would be spot on. My acceptance ends when the assault on the liberality of society itself begins.
None of this erases the points I made yesterday, condemning the lynch-mob mentality of the Cronulla crowds, boozed up, in their thousands, chasing down lone Lebanese teenagers.
But I accept the need to distinguish between cultural and ethnicity and ask some tough questions.
Of course we don't publicise it but we also don't hide it. In many cases, I can tell by looking at a Lebanese if he is Christian or Muslim but for non-Lebanese, this is probably very difficult. The Muslims are usually, but not always, darker with more distinct Arab-like features. There are other indicators too but more subjective that I won't elaborate on here.
Anyway, I am only trying to tell you that not all Lebanese are Muslims. Our country is still 35% Christian today and I would guess that about half of all Lebanese in Australia are Christians although I must admit that I don't have the numbers. The Christian Lebanese have been in Australia for a long time whereas the Muslims started to flee Lebanon when we started to pound their stinking cities. In Australia, the Muslim ghettoes tend to be around their mosques like Lakemba and Auburn. They also tend to flock in Bankstown, Rockdale, Liverpool, etc. The main Christian area is around Parramatta, although our people are more dispersed now than what they used to be.

It has nothing to do with islam or christianity or any other religion. It is cultural as you say in one of your other posts.
The generalising is what polarises and can ultimately only lead to baseless hatred. Life aint long enough to be lived like that.
I am not saying Islam is the cause or that any cause-effect relationship exists between Islam and gang rapes, bashings, etc. It's just that most of these Lebanese doing these things happen to be Muslims who are culturally distinct from Christian Lebanese.
