As an Australian, I certainly don’t. We’ve learnt this lesson the hard way too; the 2005 Cronulla Riots were a direct consequence of bringing in a large cohort of people we knew wouldn’t integrate from the Lebanese civil war 15 years earlier. However, since 1996, no matter who we vote for, we always get increased immigration. It’s currently around 1.5 million immigrants a year, which for a population of 25 million is bonkers insane. Seems to me that the NSW Premier is right: Mass Immigration is done for the sole purpose for government to seek more power.

“Lebanese civil war”
Lebanese couldn’t challenge their own government…. so great! They won’t be able to organize opposition to the government in Australia.
Governments don’t mind feckless, dysfunctional populations. Well-organized populations terrify them.

Were the Lebanese refugees Maronite Christians or Muslims?

Moslems. Lebanonès Maronites mostly moved to France, Québec or other European countries (there are quite a few in Germany).

The reason that I asked was about assimilation being raised in a smaller Saskatchewan community. At that time the British including us oatmeal savages (both Protestants and Catholics), Norwegians ( Protestants), Mennonite (AnaBaptist), and various Eastern Europeans (Protestants, Catholics, and Jewish) were assimilating, as in intermarrying. As were the only two Lebanese families (Maronites) that I went to high school with, there did not seem to be a problem, the girls were cute ;-D

We took there waves. The first two were Christian and integrated well. The third group were Muslim and their children were responsible for the riots (and the Department of Immigration warned the government integration would be a problem beforehand).

What will it take to make it clear that people aren’t interchangeable? Cultural differences are real and enormous. Why is it such a hard thought to grasp for so many people?

The fact that freedom of speech is held to be incompatible with multicultural societies should actually tell that guy that multicultural societies are not good. But of course this simple inference will escape someone with his limited cognitive skills.

No, of course. We are at war with Muslims in general, btw.

LOL, that is the point that I am trying to say; cultures that do not intermarry, do not assimilate, they often cannot even integrate effectively. And even the post that I mentioned about Saskatchewan above, that was sometimes very difficult. During WW1, some Ukrainians and other Eastern Europreans ended up in concentration camps because of their support for the Austro-Hungarian side. Yet by the end of WW2, they too were essentially assimilated. As my uncle said, we were all finally Canadians because to the bloody SS we were all untermensch. He later married his corporal’s sister, which is how I got my colourful Ukrainian aunt ;-D
