I said that Middle East immigrants (as reported in the paper) are
usually Lebanese Muslims in Australia. I believe this to be correct. I
do not think you really believe these people are Lebanese Christians,
do you?

That goes against the typical behaviour of most beachgoers, which is to
share the facilities, and also against what the paper said:

"Some regular Cronulla beachgoers said that the behaviour of Middle
Eastern groups was so offensive, they opted to travel to other beaches
instead."

There is obviously more to this story, which the same paper has covered
in other articles. I do not think you can find any factual innacuracy
in my post, though the implication that we are seeing agressive
behaviour by Muslim immigrants here is something I think even you would
accept.

This is tangential to the beach story, and I do not think it has any
bearing on it.
