My dear fellow Australian, please do not comment on something you know nothing about ... Muslims do integrate, I married and became one, muslims do not hate other religions. It is said in the Koran to respect fellow brothers and sisters of the Christian and Jewish faith. My fellow muslim, jewish and christian family and friends can vouch for this. We all seem to live in harmony with each other. My uncle was a jewish Polish prisoner that was separated from his mother and one his brothers, his father died on the train journey from one of the camps in Poland from malnutrition. He has lived in OZ since this time and contributed to society working hard, my husband and I run a successful business and have run restaurants together. My other uncle's family is from Holland and with out then the country town they live in would not have stock as they are they transport life line for the town. So were is it shown that migrants don't make contributions. I have worked in the community welfare sector for many years and have seen that more Skippy's are the ones on the dole not migrants as they have seen hard life and have come here to better it and enjoy. All humans want to be accepted and live in harmony, please tell me the muslim you personally know, (None I guess) that you are describing. It is always easier to cast a stone at someone else isn't it. If you follow the christian faith, not sure if you are, God has told you not to judge as this will be done on judgement day, he has commanded that you treat your brothers and sisters as you wish to be treated, with respect and love as Jesus did. To many people place them selves above God and judge all with out looking to their own weaknesses. Life was meant to be easy, so go to the beach breathe in some fresh air and leave politics to the politicians and religion to the ones that know what they are talking about.
