Hey Australia, what's happening?
"..No Indian student seems safe in Australia.
The police do little.." -Times, 30th May Robert Clements Hey Australia, what's happening? Why harm our children? Oh yes, we know a great many years ago, them British dumped all their criminals on your shores instead of crowding their jails, but man that was quite some years back, right? And you guys have reformed by now, right? Meaning you don't have that old urge of attackin' and murderin' others, right? Or maybe I'm not right huh? Maybe, its still in your blood mate? The world is watching my friends, we're watching to see how you deal with these attacks on our children; will it be a ruthless crackdown; will you police Indian neighborhoods a bit more; keep an eye on our kids we've sent in your care? Or turn a blind eye, do some superficial arrests and have a laugh in your police stations and government offices? India's watching you Australia, we are watching! And maybe this time it won't be just Harbhajan Singh we will unloosen on you! And to all we Indians, here's a small 'I told you so message': There were many among you who forwarded that very radical speech allegedly made by former Australian PM, John Howard, here are some excerpts: "We speak mainly ENGLISH, not Spanish, Lebanese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language.
Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society, learn the language!" "Most Australians believe in God.
If our God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our culture." "This is our country, our land and our lifestyle, and we will allow you every opportunity to enjoy all this.
But once you are done complaining, whining, and griping about Our Flag, Our Pledge, Our Christian beliefs, or Our Way of Life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great Australian freedom, "'THE RIGHT TO LEAVE'." "If you aren't happy here then LEAVE.
We didn't force you to come here.
You asked to be here.
So accept the country YOU accepted." We gleefully passed this speech on to everybody and praised Howard who 'had the guts' to say it like it is, because we thought he was targeting only one community, the Muslims, but he wasn't, oh no he wasn't, his message was loud and clear to all who entered his land, 'If we don't like your face, colour of your skin or the God you worship, leave or we shoot you!" Next time you hear or see such nonsense stand up and fight against it: next time you see someone from another community or state bashed on your streets, it could be you next! A worshipper thrashed in church could be you in your temple because you worship different from someone else in the next temple or the next gurudwara.
Intolerance in any form has to be rejected, or like we fear for our children in Australia, we will fear for our own lives in our own neighborhoods amongst our own familiar friends one day..! bobsbanter@gmail.com About us | Advertise | Other Publications | Subscriptions | Weather | Letters | Send Mail Disclaimer: Information is being made available at this site purely as a measure of public facilitation.
