}THE attacks in London must spell the end of multiculturalism as it has been }practised in the UK and Australia. }That certainly is the rumble in bars and cafes, subways and bus stops in }Western capitals. } }Even some of the small-l liberals are realising that the multiculturalism }championed through the '70s has run its course. } } }Writing in Melbourne's The Age, the far-Left columnist Terry Lane is now }asking: "Is it a virtue to be tolerant of intolerance?" } } }The light has finally dawned for Lane, a cheer-leader for the admission of }unlawful undocumented immigrants, as to why Australians who embraced waves }of refugees through the '40s and '50s are showing some hostility to the }latest batch. } } }"When the deal was unquestioned buttimilation, based on the buttumption that }the children of the new Australians would be simply Australians, we found }the process interesting and even a little exciting," he writes. } } }"Multiculturalism, based on the buttumption of ghettos of perpetual }difference and special preferment, is bound to foster violence by those who }feel superior to, or excluded from, the national culture. Australians are by }nature buttimilationist, and we are right to be so." } } }Another Age writer, Pamela Bone writes: "I have long valued }multiculturalism. But there is something wrong when second and }third-generation Muslims can believe the society in which they grew up ö }indeed, into which they were born ö is evil to the core and needs to be }destroyed. There is something wrong with multiculturalism when Muslims can }attend mosques in Europe that are more radical than some in the Middle }East." } } } }In their qualified reversals, Lane and Bone are ahead of the small-l liberal }pack. Some of the other small-l simpletons are still claiming that attacks }on liberal atbreastudes to immigration and asylum "do nothing but incite }greater hatred towards foreigners" particularly those from the Middle East, }or that the violence is all to do with Iraq. } } } }They cannot get their little heads around the reality that though the Koran }does contain some verses of great poetry on tolerance and respect, it also }contains a plethora of extremely virulent exhortatory suras condemning }nonbelievers, apostates, Christians and Jews, to violent rests and unending }misery in the hereafter. } } }The problem for these fellow travellers is that the Left, with its blind }embrace of moral relativism, has been providing excuses and rationales for }terror for generations, snuggling up to Josef Stalin, Mao and more lately }Saddam Hussein, solely because they stood for other than Western values. } } }While the chattering clbuttes are babbling about the freedom to publish hate }literature in mosque bookshops, it would be a start if the Australian }Government began asking those seeking citizenship or residency questions }similar to those asked by the US. } } }For example, the current US application for citizenship asks have you EVER }been a member of or in any way buttociated with: a. The Communist Party? b. }Any other totalitarian party? c. A person organisation? Have you EVER }advocated the overthrow of any government by force or violence? Have you }EVER persecuted any person because of race, religion, national origin, }membership in a social group, or political opinion? } } }The Australian citizenship application merely asks have you ever been }buttociated with person organisations or involved in acts of terrorism }overseas or in Australia? } } }Few people are ever rejected outright, but in the first instance their }answers, if honest, give the authorities the opportunity to identify and }further question people of interest. } } }Those who have lied and who are later found out can have their residency or }citizenship revoked and be tossed out without the endless appeals that civil }libertarians demand. } } }Additional questions which could be added to a revised Australian }immigration form should ask whether applicants had ever advocated jihad or }incited terror or other atrocities, or whether they had ever attended a }madrbuttah or subscribed to an Islamist website, and be worded in such a way }that they are expansive and force a clear answer on that point. } } }The oath of allegiance to Australia should be an oath to support the }principles of freedom, democracy and peace, with severe penalties, including }revocation and expulsion for those who break their word. } } }The flaw in the multicultural argument has always been the nonsense that }every culture and every political ideology is equal. They are not. } } }There is an objective right and wrong and there are such concepts as good }and evil. } } }There are no greys in the flash of a person plant and nor should there be }in the discussion about how to deal with such crimes against humanity. } }Telegraph }
Australian citizenships should be harder to get, there should be at least a five to ten year period of residency where individuals should be law abiding and contribute to Australian society. On the law abiding part, there should be more extensive background checks with disqualification for any criminal record - and get rid of duel citizenships - they're a joke.
