    I've lived in a society that's meant to be "incompatible" for my whole life. I don't practice a watered down version of my religion. I always look inward, but will never compromise on my core beliefs. So in order for your society to be cohesive, I need to be out of it. Gotcha. Western...

    It's not hard to understand the difference between why one is and one isn't. Islamaphobia is evident. It can be seen, heard, and experienced. Do we refer to radical Christians as Christist, or radical Jews and Jewist. Radical Hindus as Hindist. More often than not they are referred to as lone...

    I'm sorry that genocide bothers you. That it's affecting your morning coffee and footy game. We've been so apathetic and desensitised to having empathy. Throughout history, conflicts such as this one has been a matter for the world. The reason the news keeps churning this is because of how...

    There's been plenty of pro Israel anti Hamas rallies. Most governments fund these and Israel and are complicit in the blockade preventing aid getting to Gaza. They also support Israel with weapons and billions in funds. The 'but but Israel' is because this is not purely a Hamas vs Israel war...

    So basically, only condemnation of something I have no say in or influence over is all you'll accept.

    I'm not deflecting. He keeps bringing this up like I have a day on it. Ok, so Hamas define being gay as illegal. Can I do anything about it? No. Is it a bigger concern than the genocide and apartheid? No. Being gay is illegal in many democratic countries. Heck, many of our politicians oppose it...

    I lived in Europe for two years. Australia has the opportunity of learning from Europe. Europe has rampant immigration. My biggest problems with people when living in Europe came from other Europeans, not Asians or Africans.

    I know of the schools you speak of. I know of what you mention. I'm aware of conversations being held to change this narrative. There was a case where a non-muslim teacher was in one of these schools and refused to allow kids out of class for prayer and she accused them of being of their period...

    I do thanks. I can care about more than one genocide that is actually occuring.

    I'm not demeaning their plight. I've been apart of many same-sex initiatives and groups that have fought for their cause. You are just caught up on this idea that if Hamas don't support it, then they don't deserve to rule. That's not the issue. The issue is the fucking genocide. Until the...

    Oh god, this again. I don't know because I'm not Hamas. Same-sex marriage is prohibited in many non Muslim countries at the moment too, are you in uproar at that

    Curriculum is what you teach, discrimination is prejudice based on a person's race or religion. You can teach religious education as long as it aligns with curriculum. You shouldn't be making decisions based on a person's skin colour or religion I know of 4 Jewish teachers at one Islamic college

    Curriculum is one thing. Discrimination is another.

    Exactly. How can indiscriminate killing of unharmed people be acceptable. 70 plus years of it. Is it not a war? When you attack a people, will they not respond? 70 plus years of kling and attacks, and one response to it is where you draw the line. Not to.mention the immense disproportionate...
