Let's not forget -
"Assimilation" was first used after the shutting down of Aboriginal missions and reserves in the 1950s. It reflected the idea that Aboriginal people now had equal freedom of movement, but they were discouraged from expressing traditional culture and beliefs. In other words you could have black skin but you were expected to act white - convert to Christianity, get a job, and sing God save the queen. The term was then used to describe the expectations of immigrants.
I don't know why people continue to think assimilation is okay. It's actually incompatible with our pluralist constitution. As long as nobody's human rights get breached, we should just leave people alone. Assimilation to me is "not running around killing innocent people in the name of religion" ...is that too much to ask....or should we legalise that too to pander to minorities. it doesnt matter if youre white,yellow , black , muslim, christian,etc...dont come to this country to fuck it up. practise whatever it is you want to practise, as long as you dont sprouting intent to kill people. how hard is that to get into your skull?

My point was that our constitution protects their right to free speech and to practice their religion. It also says that everyone gets a fair trial. When you become a citizen you also pledge your loyalty to Australia, it's laws and institutions. If you break the law you get punished. You seem to be in some moral panic that Muslims are destroying the country. Here's the good news - 2 Muslim extremists have committed terrible murders in the last 12 months. both were killed by the police. Meanwhile the other 450,000 Australian Muslims went about their daily business.

It's like an irrationality 'volume control'

Its a bit like Frank lowy and his cohorts passing the A league off as some champion of multiculturalism yet they have abolished and suppressed traditional clubs who serviced the game for decades for the crime of not being "Assimilated" enough.

Can't find anything on churches being burnt down or vandalised by muslims. The memorial vandalism is blamed on turkish people on a less than neutral source but it's plausible. There's been a few instances of mosques being vandalised too. Pretty "unaustralian".

They sont bite hell im married to one and im a Catholic. Dont be scared

The ironic thing is that one of the few rights our constitution does explicitly protect is freedom of religion. But instead of celebrating pluralism and diversity, white Australians expect immigrants to come here, drink VB, abandon their religious and cultural practices, get a southern cross tattoo, and act like a shitcunt at the AFL. It just goes to show you how spectacularly uninformed most Australians are.
Let's not forget -
"Assimilation" was first used after the shutting down of Aboriginal missions and reserves in the 1950s. It reflected the idea that Aboriginal people now had equal freedom of movement, but they were discouraged from expressing traditional culture and beliefs. In other words you could have black skin but you were expected to act white - convert to Christianity, get a job, and sing God save the queen. The term was then used to describe the expectations of immigrants.
I don't know why people continue to think assimilation is okay. It's actually incompatible with our pluralist constitution. As long as nobody's human rights get breached, we should just leave people alone. Assimilation to me is "not running around killing innocent people in the name of religion" ...is that too much to ask....or should we legalise that too to pander to minorities. it doesnt matter if youre white,yellow , black , muslim, christian,etc...dont come to this country to fuck it up. practise whatever it is you want to practise, as long as you dont sprouting intent to kill people. how hard is that to get into your skull?

I do wonder why people enjoy shadow boxing. Must be extremely unfulfilling.

Quote:Islamist group Hizb ut-Tahrir decries ‘forced Muslim assimilation’ THE AUSTRALIAN NOVEMBER 01, 2015 4:36PM Print Save for later 607 Ean Higgins
Reporter
Hizb ut-Tahrir spokesman Uthman Badar, says the Australian government “claims to afford freedom, but seeks to impose values and beliefs’’ on Muslims. Source: News Corp Australia Requiring schoolchildren to sing the national anthem, and the citizenship pledge supporting democratic values, are part of an oppressive campaign by Australian authorities of “forced assimilation” of the Muslim community, a conference heard this morning.
The conference held by Islamist activist group Hizb ut-Tahrir entitled “Innocent Until Proven Muslim” is taking place at Bankstown in Sydney’s west, attended by about 800 people.
Hizb ut-Tahrir spokesman Uthman Badar told the conference the Australian government “claims to afford freedom, but seeks to impose values and beliefs” on Muslims.
Muslims were expected to not just be gracious about Australian values, but publicly promote them, Mr Badar said.
This imposition of secular western values was reflected in the oath when taking out citizenship, Mr Badar said, with new citizens required to pledge allegiance to Australia “whose democratic beliefs I share”.
“It’s not enough that you obey the law, no, you have to adopt our values,” Mr Badar told the conference.
Similarly, Mr Badar said, schoolchildren were required to sing the national anthem, which he said, “reflects a disputed view of history”.
“If you don’t share those values, why should they be forced to sing it?” Mr Badar said.
The comments follow a backlash from many politicians and commentators to news last week that the principal of a Victorian primary school had excused Muslim students from singing Advance Australia Fair.
Mr Badar said the campaign by government and agencies against radicalisation was actually a smokescreen to “make Muslims less Islamic”.
“It is nothing less than forced assimilation ... sought to be justified by exaggerated fear of a security threat,” he said.
Government efforts to promote what it bills as a moderate form of Islam might on occasion “buy out some Imam”, Mr Badar said, but overall, “the attempt to reform Islam is doomed to failure.”
The conference heard a series of members of the Muslim community, some by prerecorded audiovisual clips and some live from the floor — deliver testimonials of what they claimed was oppressive behaviour by officials against them as Muslims, at airports, in police raids, and in high security prisons. http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/islamist-group-hizb-ut-tahrir-decries-forced-muslim-assimilation/story-e6frg6n6-1227589920579Quote:“If you don’t share those values, why should they be forced to sing it?” Mr Badar said. So you just want to come here and sponge off us and not assimilate , how would that ideology work for me if I went to um, lets say Iran for example. ](*,)

mcjules, Mate, we don't profess people should stop practicing their religion, though IMO no good has ever come from religion, if you want a god, good for you , keep him/her to yourself and try not to kill anybody just because they don't share your belief ( if your god is so shallow and almighty powerful he can kill everyone who doesn't believe with a click of he's ( ever noticed God is always a man, even in the form of a woman) fingers ).
The rest of Australia, in case you haven't noticed, has allowed religions such as Christians, Buddhists , Jews and alike to flourish and do what ever it is that they think their man made god wants, provided its within the laws of the land, and guess what, every other religion has accepted that except Islam.
We accepted people from war torn countries and gave them a home with comforts they have never seen before, but still they want to wage war on us.
there is simply only one response from normal born here Aussie's, fuck off.

"Every other religion has accepted that except Islam."
...what?
The overwhelming majority of Australian Muslims have accepted the "laws of the land." Also, regarding that specific example: refusing to sing the national anthem is not illegal...

Jehovah's Witnesses don't sing or stand for the national anthem either. I have no love for Hizb ut-Tahrir, they're like the Muslim version of Reclaim Australia. Nothing quoted in that article is overly outrageous though.

Whats sad is that people make assumptions about a certain race or religion on false information. It saddens me that we are re doing the same things over and over again. First it was the jews and then the wogs and then the asians and indians and then the africans and now its the muslima or anyone who looks like one. We as a nation are better than this and we shouldnt accept the saying its their turn to go thru it like its a badge of honour we bestow to people .
