I see your crazy point of view. It makes sense, in a sick kind of way. But its just wrong. What happens when we do what you're saying? We evict all muslims and non-european Australians from our country?? Our economy fails, everything goes backwards. Then we have to contend with some pretty pissed muslim bloc countries who really dont like people discriminating against their religion and their religious text. Its a self-fulfilling prophecy, a catch-22. We evict muslims to prevent them from affecting our country, and they have more of an effect than they ever could have had if we didn't institute such a crazy policy.
I never said evict, and I didn't say all non-Europeans.
The reason I think a high population of muslims in Australia is dangerous is because they would then have the power to influence political decisions... like having different laws applied to them or having special considerations that everyone else doesn't have. This results in one of two things; we end up with a divided society, or everyone else has to have Islamic beliefs forced on them for the sake of maintaining a single community.
So my solution is to...
1 - Make all religion in public illegal. Not just Islam, all religions. No single religion is being discriminated against. This way religion is not allowed to have an impact on government policy by law. Still, this could not be maintained if the Muslim population was large enough.
2 - Stop Muslim immigration. I would think that being unable to display their religion publicly would discourage a fair number from wanting to come in the first place, but even if it doesn't Australia has a right to decide what is best for Australia, not other people.
You may say "well what about the Christian denominations, they have just as much of an impact" but that is not exactly true. I would consider our culture and laws to have evolved from christian beliefs. This means that although I would consider our society in many ways secular, everyone gets along, and accepts what I see as a continued movement towards an even more secular society. Islam just doesn't work this way. The average Muslim seems to be far more religious than the average Christian, meaning there is no acceptance of this secular movement, and that just creates a big gap between Muslims and what they want and everyone else and what they want.
Some Muslims may be angry but the that would just prove that they are unable to accept criticism. It would not be saying Islam is wrong, or that we don't want Islam being followed in other countries (or even in this one as long as it doesn't bother people), just that it doesn't really work here. There may be some negative impacts, but I don't think it would be any worse than what we could expect later on if we continue allowing things to go the way they are.
As for other non-Europeans.... preserving the white race will be a serious issue in the future, and I don't think it is racist to say so. I am not suggesting anything drastic like bringing back the white Australia policy, but surely focusing a bit on European and American immigrants couldn't hurt.
I'm not going to respond to questions/criticisms of this post because there is no way I can prove all my assumptions and observations. If you could just use a little common sense and try and see what I am saying it would be appreciated.
More scholars accept THIS view. However, HOW the relationship came to be is the more important question. So YOU, being the wise, can tell us now right?
