That's OK with me. I wouldn't want to live in the geographical area of many muslim countries anyway.
"as tourists they can enter churches freely, but mosques are restricted to muslums only."
All to the good!! They can experience Christianity, we can't experience islam. One up to us!
"they insist on a particular dress style for themselves in Australia and its mostly OK, and back in their country of origin you would get stonned for our dress style."
Not the muslims I know. They dress like Aussies - the women and the men.
"free speach while here in Aust where criticism is part of open society, back in theirs, its very restricted for Expats."
See first point - don't care. Maybe that's why they moved here?
"us atheists can merrily burn truck loads of bibles but all #### breaks loose if u do you know what. Christians generally wouldn't think of going on a murderous rampage in revenge."
People who want to burn books of any sort are idiots. Seriously, if you believe that the bible is just a collection of stories, why burn it? Or do you burn Harry Potter books, TLOTR, Beatrice Potter, Enid Blyton, Agatha Christie - man, you are one weird cookie.
"in western society 'thorny' discussions are welcomed, great debates make good TV. Correct me if wrong, can't imagine a televised debate on the koran ever happenning in the Islamic countries. Richard Dawkins would be murdered in his hotel room later that night."
Again, who gives a rats what they do in their own country?
"these last few hundred years western & asian technology has improved ours and their lifestyles. Someone can advise me if Muslums have enhanced anybody's except their own."
Yep. The coach of my son's christian league football team is a muslim, who has played for Australia and is fanatical about passing on his knowledge. He is a senior manager at Oracle, busy enhancing your lifestyle and mine.
"enough serious questioning by me.. what do you think?"
I think you are an ignorant bigot who needs to get some muslim friends to find out what they are really like.
