One can't be and the other can be, they both have to be wrong. Dislike what the Muslim's are doing in the United States? I dislike the millions of Native American's [my blood] who were killed by people doing the same thing.
one nation would attack and push another out of an area in order to occupy the hunting grounds.

You claimed it was [and I quote] "the majority's christian ideals (ideals that this country was originally founded on)" and I pointed out, that the "Country" was around long before and that many of these actions are the same.
Which is something that Christian's as good as did for hundreds of years, up till the Second World War.
The only major difference here, is you have a few million muslims saying they 'want' something, which they will never get in the United States or Australia unless they gain a massive amount of support - which we know won't happen.
However, removing their ability to hold a viewpoint different from yours is wrong on a basic democratic level. Without basic freedoms to have our say, to vote for any party we like and to speak out against laws, we leave in a democracy by name only and not by its actions.

There are Islamic states around the world that practice Sharia law, and if that is your object, you may well be more at home in such a country than trying to turn Australia into one of those countries - because it is not going to happen," he said.

snafu7700, why should a school celebrate Christmas?
In fact, I remember watching a BBC show where they spent 30minutes interviewing 'Muslims', all of which supported the Church of England and said that Christmas was a good idea.
This again comes back into your statement on 'Religious Scare Tactics', snafu7700, where does it say their actions are fine in the Qu'Ran? For it to be a religious action it has to be from the Qu'Ran or a decree agreeded upon by a vast majority of Imam's. Can you display this?
If not, it is the actions of a few people and again the majority being targetted and punished for it. As for the Government not calling for it - people are calling for it. It is on this site if you even look at this thread it is clear.

If it is not going to happen, than it is fine for them to try. I do not see why it isn't?
However do not tell them to 'leave' because you disagree with their viewpoint. Which in my opinion is what is happening.
