Cardinal George Pell has written a thoughtful piece on the confrontation between immigrant Islam and secular Australia. He enumerates the usual problematic nature of Islam, its offensive, universalist notions, its connection between violence and spirituality, its emphasis on procreation and its ability to sustain high birth rates in connection to the low Western birth rates. A most salient paragraph in my opinion is:
"These two examples show that there is a whole range of factors, some of them susceptible to influence or a change in direction, affecting the prospects for a successful Islamic engagement with democracy. Peace with respect for human rights are the most desirable end point, but the development of democracy will not necessarily achieve this or sustain it. This is an important question for the West as well as for the Muslim world. Adherence to what George Weigel has called “a thin, indeed anorexic, idea of procedural democracy”[21] can be fatal here. It is not enough to assume that giving people the vote will automatically favour moderation, in the short term at least[22]. Moderation and democracy have been regular partners in Western history, but have not entered permanent and exclusive matrimony and there is little reason for this to be better in the Muslim world, as the election results in Iran last June and the elections in Palestine in January reminded us."
"Belief in a thin, [...] procedural democracy". The idea that society, organised human life can be reduced to a simple procedure, a ritual, is one of the biggest threats of the West to itself.
There were the usual nauseating cries from the Left demanding that the Cardinal be punished for speaking out, because naturally the Left knows better and everybody disagreeing with them is an idiot who has to be silenced.
Such a nice thing that Truth has been contracted out to the Left. Saves everyone a lot of thinking for themselves.

Women are loot
Recently there have been riots in Sydney between whites and Lebanese immigrants. The press, Australian and international puts the riots down to white racism and incitement by the extreme right wing.
However Sydney and other Australian cities with lots of Lebanese immigrants are plagued by crime and gang rapes. The perps are found in Islamic communities. Recently there was another court case in which a well off Pakistani immigrant was found to be the ringleader of a gang of rapists. The targets for the rapes were usually white women:
And educating our girls and women against behaving in a provocative way would go against Political Correctness, the belief that absolutely nothing bad can be said about non-western cultures and customs.
It is good that Whites in Australia are taking a stand against Immigrant crime, but the real target must be the PC ideology and the establishment that supports it. We can not sit still, while these sheperds are letting wolves amongst sheep. It is a matter honour and pride in ourselves. The youngest victim was 13 years old. Can we stand by and let this happen to our sisters?

Recently there was another court case in which a well off Pakistani immigrant was found to be the ringleader of a gang of rapists. The targets for the rapes were usually white women:
The ringleader of a notorious gang of rapist brothers said he believed one of his teenage victims had "no right to say 'No'" when he attacked her.And
He said he believed she was promiscuous because she did not wear a Muslim purdah, drank alcohol and sang Shakira lyrics: "My breasts are small but humble". From the witness box, he then turned to the victim, who can only be identified only as T, and apologised for the first time.It is ridiculous to believe that the man has suddenly come around to the Australian, Western point of view. One can only shake one's head at the incredible naivity and stupidity of these girls when they go with Muslim men and flirt with them. And of the naivity of our elites when they let these Muslims in and are surprised when things get out of hand. Since 1999 there have been repeated almost constant reports about Moslims raping white girls in Australian cities, but the problem is not addressed in a way that these immigrants would have respect for.
And educating our girls and women against behaving in a provocative way would go against Political Correctness, the belief that absolutely nothing bad can be said about non-western cultures and customs.
