We should limit Islamic immigrants

I agree entirely with Phil. Years ago when I taught at university in Australia and 'multiculturalism' was government policy I used to tell my students that some immigrant groups were incompatible with Australian society, or at least one immigrant group: Muslims.

There is a great deal of unease in Australia about the status of women in Islam and distaste for wearing of the burqa, There is even more antipathy towards sharia law, which is entirely incompatible with most law based in English Common Law, as Australian and also US law is.
