Thank you for this article. I now realize that a similar problem may also exist in Australia and that perhaps we should begin an attempt to combat it. We are, however, greatly hindered in Australia by laws against racial vilification which were intended to combat the evils of anti-semitism, but turned out to be "overkill" and they actually prevent all but the most mild comment about any religious or ethnic group.
