Samuel Huntington had it right.

I argued this in one of my papers at Uni (1996) that he was right, and that cultural and religious ideologies would be the primary source of conflict in the new century.

How I wish I was wrong.

Mind you I got slammed for it by my Professor, that although my reasonings were just, it was already proven wrong by the success of multiculturalism post WW2 and (more recently) Vietnamese War 'boat people' integration into Australian Society.

Neither, however, bought religious overhangs with them...

I'm all for a melting pot of cultures, but should we all live and abide under the rules of 'Team Australia'?

Probably should be in the Bar, but I'm tipping that 3, 2, 1 .....

Maybe...

But whether you're persuaded to Left of Right, it still should be discussed.

We can't keep hiding behind/fearing political correctness forever.

A random Australian beheading was (allegedly) prevented today.

Random means You, your wife, your child or I...

If that isn't the kick-starter to community discussion then I fear for this Country's future..

I wouldn't call theirs "civilisation" - there's nothing civil about it.

This is disgusting - pack them and and send them home, I reckon; they certainly don't seem to view Australia as home, so back to where they came from.

Dont know if we want to go down that path here. Not car related (Pub) and being discussed everywhere else ....... good to get away from it a bit on AFF.
