quarters near their home.
In Oz,residents of Camden rejected application of a Muslim
school few months ago,
but now welcomed a Catholic school.

Racism exist young one...
Australia does not wish to become Austrabia. What's wrong with that?![]()
erm creating 1 muslim school does nt change the country into a muslim one rite..
Nah. But it indicates that the country show more acceptance to the muslims, which is not the a good sign of progress. You know, white superiority kind of thing, they may end up hunting blacks like they used to.
Despite the Singapore Pledge, there remains reservations.... at least Australia has put it upfront, and surely they do not want to be like UK - the defender of the Anglican Faith - having to admit that Syriah Law must be introduced to govern the growing population of Muslims in UK.- "If, for instance, you put in a Malay officer who's very religious and who has family ties in Malaysia in charge of a machine gun unit, that's a very tricky business. We've got to know his background... I'm saying these things because they are real, and if I don't think that, and I think even if today the Prime Minister doesn't think carefully about this, we could have a tragedy." - SM Lee Kuan Yew, Straits Times, September 19, 1999 on Malays in the Singapore Armed Forces
