C'mon, don't play with words. Why would you say than "jealous"? Because you thought i am living in a poor muslim city, writing from an internet cafe in the corner.
No need to be hypocrat.
Anyway, don't be a typical muscular-macho shovenist and open your eyes to the world. Life is short.
I am not a troll but procrastinating, but not trolling and i am behind everything i say.

Hello Kiwi, I appreciate your input. I didn't have a lot of sympathy for Sydney because I felt that they can be snobby
* Depends on which part of Sydney you go to. I'd agree if you went to the East Subs around the Bondi Junction area however there are small pockets of Sydney where there is still that community spirit.
I was in Cronulla not too long after the riots and I met so many beautiful girls who are very friendly.
*Cronulla is actually quite a nice spot and I found them all to be quite friendly.
the fact they chose Melbourne so wilfully is alarming. Perhaps the most accepting city on the planet can be a target. Sure we speak our minds. We never shut up, but we're inclusive and open about it.
*Melbourne is more down to earth than Sydney: food and coffee is awsome!
NZ may be a step away. Your country is more vulnerable but the people there also speak their minds. I remember well how angelic your people are. I've no better description.
*I'm not angelic by any means (I've been called alot of names on these boards but angelic is not one of them). The Kiwis don't tend to say a whole lot (except me) and we are different thinkers to the Aussies but never the less we love our laid back neighbours like brothers except on the rugby field of course.
One things that I should add is police reports over violence and the constant news coverage is misleading. Melbourne appears like a hell hole if you read 'some' papers, when I NEVER see violence and I walk home 10:00 o'clock or later almost every night straight through the CBD. 99% of the people I pass / meet are easy going chilled out people. Strangers still say hello for the sake of it and only a few Arabs, Asians and Indians take offence when you look at them in the eye. Where's the violence?
*I don't read many Australian papers, I'm probably more intune to whats going on overseas than I do in Australia.
Lately, there's up to 500,000 people coming to the CBD for a night out over the weekend. That's a lot. The spike in assault is in accordance, and not many. Media likes to sensationalise anything and they don't care. The police want more members and they go along with it. Media creates more strife by giving people some infamy.

Sorry about it..I just ckecked again and realized that i mistook one of your reply with the original.
I understand your worries about the foreign students and their "rudeness" etc. This is one of the hot topics in Germany as well, along with the migration "problem". But I am fully against to create a scapegoat. Accusing people because of their heritage, culture or religion is a very dangerous mistake. Problems cannot be solved like this. Just look at the history.
Regarding Muslim immigrants, I am aware some problems arise from some oppresive, stubborn and closed minded muslim communities. But the problem will not be solved with making them as a target.

The Muslims dresscode when they exit their gate: the men dress in women's attire (dresses) and their women in burquas.....
no wonder they're pissed when they see our women are so beautiful and our men rugged and handsome
