Do you know any muslims? (you ignored that question)

Yes I do, and all the males carry knives too. They might be model citizens, but they will do as they are told by their spiritual leader and they will freely tell you this

I think you are talking through your hat.

You can think what you like dear.

I think you live in Queensland, yes, Bootlace?

You can think what you like msolga and your point is?

Could you at least identify what must be some incredible hot spot, where ALL of the males carry knives! Where is this place, exactly?
You don't have to identify yourself, but I would really like to know where this danger spot is!

I never said there was a danger spot, those are words invented by you. All I said was that the ones I know carry knives. (5)

Let me tell you something: I live in the inner-north of Melbourne. The suburb I live in (Coburg) has a large percentage of Muslims in our population make-up. Also, as a teacher, I have taught in many schools with high Muslim populations for 20+ years. Muslims of all sorts. Turkish, Lebanese, Syrian, Afghan, Indian, etc, etc ...
Never once, in many, many years here, have I witnessed any sort of knife provocation. Never once have I felt unsafe because there are so many Muslims in my community. Traders, neighbours, students, parents, what-ever ...

So you would have felt perfectly safe in Sydney the other day if you had been in the street?

I am surprised that you are a teacher in that in a previous post you could not be persuaded on the difference between race and religion. I still find it appalling that someone will play the "race card" to discredit someone who disagrees with a religion. It’s an old trick to stifle free speech, and unbecoming of an educator.


So what is so different about where you live, that you hold the views you hold? Please tell us the location of this dangerous place you live in, where all the Muslim men carry knives!

There you go inventing words again msolga. I said, all the males I know carry knives, I didn't say all muslim men carry knives.

And who, exactly, are the "spiritual leaders" of these knife-carrying Muslims in your community?

The "spiritual leaders" are local imams who basically work out of a private garage.
Four times you have asked me "where" . Why is this so important to you ?
Hingehead got stuck on how "old" I was. I don't intend to tell you either.
The ones I know are model citizens; it’s the parts of their religion that breaks Australian law and basic human rights that I abhor. They all will get tarred by the same brush until the moderates do something about it and that will NEVER happen.

....and your point is?

...A lonely band of journalists and scholars have approached the protests with an intent to truly understand the forces behind them. Among them, Hisham Matar, who powerfully describes the sadness in Benghazi after J Christopher Stevens' killing, and Barnaby Phillips, who explores how Islamic conservatives manipulated the film to their advantage. Anthropologist Sarah Kendzior cautions against treating the Muslim world as a homogenous unit. And Professor Stanley Fish tackles a tough question: why many Muslims are so sensitive to unflattering depictions of Islam.

Film protest fails to ignite

TENSIONS flared but a repeat of Sydney-style clashes failed to materialise in a demonstration outside the State Library in Melbourne today.

A Muslim rally was initially planned to condemn a US film denigrating the Prophet Muhammad, which has incited violent rallies around the world.

But the organiser canned the protest over fears the event could spark the kind of violence that erupted between police and Muslim protesters in Sydney last weekend.

A text message circulated during the week urged a counter-protest comparable to the Cronulla riots and called for Australians to "come ready for a battle for our rights and our land" to counteract the rally at the State Library.

About 50 nationalist protesters appeared outside the library early in the afternoon, some wearing Australian flags and chanting "Aussie Aussie Aussie, Oi Oi Oi" and "we grew here they flew here".

Arguments broke out a Muslim man clashed with men bearing "Islam is false" signs.

Police asked the man to leave to defuse building antagonism but there was no major outbreak of violence under the watch of about 40 police officers.

Melbourne businessman Matt Hasan, speaking to those gathered, said that there is no place for the violence of last weekend.

"What we've demonstrated today is that we Muslims are on the same side as them. We're not fighting against them - that's not what Islam teaches. What happened in Sydney last week, we condemn it as much as they do. I think that message did get through. Protests are important but they should be peaceful."

Jayden Seric said he was spurred to join the protest because of the recent protests around the world.

"I wanted to provide balance to the extreme view that we saw in Sydney last weekend. I think that there are people in this country that are a threat to our way of life and they're very loud and very obvious about that."

He said his concern is with people motivated by religion to do extreme things "that are against our cultural norms”.

"I don't think it's a coincidence that recently we haven't seen violent protests by Buddhists, by Hindus or by Christians."

Police Commander Jeff Forti praised Islamic leaders for helping keep the protest peaceful.

"We're very thankful the rally really didn't go off, there was a small gathering of people there that was peaceful."

He said the predominant "pro-Australian" group was vocal but peaceful.

"It never got the point where we needed to separate but we did speak to some people who had the potential to get antagonistic. We prepared extensively for this but we really didn't know what was going to eventuate today so we planned for the worst and hoped for the best."

"People have the right to peacefully protest and there's no issue with that but any violence is unacceptable and we were prepared for it."

Commander Forti said he was heartened Muslim protesters stayed away and that police will continue to speak with Islamic leaders about any future rallies.

Better that than your white blindfold.
Almost everything you say and quote smells of angry white man.
