    Make up your minds...Is it Muslims or is it Lebanese?

    Muslims come from a wide range of cultures.

    If you want to talk about the Lebanese, then here's what I think.

    Pressure was put on them by their families to succeed, but they faced constant racism and could not live up to expectations. They became resentful and banded together against the bigotry.
    The ill feeling exploded after 9/11 the Bali bombings and the Cronulla riots and....well here we are.

    And I've been guilty of generalising myself as I worked the clubs for many years when the Lebanese present were aggressive and territorial.

    If you think that we had nothing to do with it, you're wrong.
