nadt...yes Aust is a multiculutural place and also a soveriegn nation and its something that we are proud of.
The point I was trying to make is that we do accept all and allow people to be who they are but after people who were welcomed into our country then started to dictate how we should live and how our children should live kinda started to get up people's noses. Friends back home agree with me that no one really is bothered with what others do, I have an Islamic school in my neighbourhood back home and no one really cares, its just another school.
No other culturual group has moved into Aust and demanded and got such huge changes as Muslims have. Its that which cause people and the media to react, not so much that it is a different religion. We like our attitude and way of life and feel like any other culture we feel threatened.
And yes, the aboringals were treated badly and still are today but thats another different debate.
