More riots in Sydney

Recent violence in France, where, night after night, French cities burned is now being followed by violence in Sydney. The second night of violence brought very ugly scenes to Cronulla Beach.

The violence has been fired by racism, racism against the people of Middle Eastern origin by the white population, and racism against the white population by the Muslim immigrants who, refusing to integrate, continue to treat white, bikini-clad women on the beaches with contempt. Clearly, we have here a clash of two very different cultures: the one is backward and mediæval; the other is progressive and modern.

Neither culture is necessarily right. But they are different. One has to ask the question: When are the politicians going to wake up and realize that their attempt at multiculturalism is a failure? The mixing of people of different ethnic backgrounds need not, in and of itself, be disastrous, as long as those being mixed share the same goals and aspirations. But that is not we have here. What we have here is something quite different: the one culture is fearful of the other outbreeding them and supplanting an altogether more restrictive way of life on them; the other is determined to conquer and supplant the culture of the infidel . The Aussies, of all people, won't stand for this, though. Politicians! Dream on!

The following photos, courtesy of The Telegraph, especially the one with the words Aussie Pride inscribed in the sand, say it all.



In a perfect world, we should all love one another. But in the real world it isn't quite like that, and there are various reasons why it isn't. One of the most important of them is this: Politicians, in their experimentation with multiculturalism, have not insisted that the Muslim immigrants blend in and adopt the ways of the infidel, and nor would the Muslims ever do that! Were politicians to have done so, far fewer Muslims would have come to the West, for Muslims have no intention ever of blending in. Moreover, the indigenous population of any country will not stand idly by while their culture is being changed before their very eyes; and nor should they be expected to do so.

If racial harmony is the goal, it would be far better for each very different culture to have its space to survive and thrive: the one here; the other there. In the long run, that is the way to achieve peace in the world. And peace is a goal for which we should all strive.
