My Paternal and Maternal ancestors migrated to Australia in 1851. My Father's side of the family came from Kirkwall on the Orkney islands and my mother's side of the family came from Scotland, near Inverness. I am however Aussie through and through. Cheers. |

As I have said before, we have many of the same issues you guys do ... its just that it is restricted to a few areas here and there ex. in Dearbornistan, Michigan (formerly called Dearborn) which has a very large Muslim population now wants to play the call to prayer over loudspeakers all over the city 5 times a day. A similar proposal exists in nearby Islamtramack, Michigan (formerly known as Hamtramack). Then we have the Muslim taxi cab drivers demanding that the Minneapolis-St Paul International Airport set aside one of the public bathrooms exclusively for them to bathe their feet. We have "Islamic Centers" in NYC whose schools use Madrassa textbooks that preach hatred of the US, Israel and the West in general.
Some other nice little incidents: - On April 14th 1972, members of the Nation of Islam (an official subversive movement) at a mosque in Harlem phoned in a fake phone call to the NYPD saying that an officer was in distress (remember, this was back in the Dark Ages before handheld radios were widely available) and then proceeded to ambush responding officers, killing Officer Phillip Cardillo by beating him to death with his own baton as a huge mob battled his fellow officers outside the mosque. NYPD brass refused to allow them to use force or to call in the elite Tactical Patrol Force in an attempt to rescue Officer Cardillo for fear that it would cause further violence and in an even bigger snub both the mayor and the commissioner of police refused to attend Cardillo's funeral leading to massive public outrage. Mayor John Lindsay (a good ol liberal who ruined NYC) famously went off skiing with his family rather then attend the funeral of an NYPD officer killed in the line of duty, this was the ONLY time in NYC history where the mayor did not attend the funeral of a city law enforcement officer or firefighter/EMT killed in the line of duty. - A reputed Islamic training center in the woods of upstate New York in the Catskill Mountains town of Hancock called "Islamberg". Lots of gunfire, explosions, etc. There are also supposed additional training centers in and around Buffalo, NY which also has a big Muslim population. |

Some monkeys in the history of Indian politics: Quote:
And then there is India's bandit queen Phoolan Devi whose had a good run in parliament despite charges of banditry and illegal arms possesion.Makes one wonder, where the limits of freedom and democracy should be. It is simply pathetic to expect such politicians to make decisions like these; afterall it is the tax payers money. In the end, I would say that referendums should be held and the vast majority should decide where their money goes. Sure, this might be an expensive option, but giving away your tax money on useless stuff is not any cheaper!
