That’s a main road the invaders are blocking–ask yourself, would Catholics or Jews or Hindus enjoy the benefit of an official blind eye should they do the same? Even more worrying is the increasing evidence of an entirely different set of policing and official deference towards muslims. A deference based on fear, no less. A more accurate headline for Sheridan’s article would be “Middle-Eastern Muslim Immigration Has Failed”.
How I lost faith in multiculturalism
Greg Sheridan
‘IN 1993, my family and I moved into Belmore in southwest Sydney. It is the next suburb to Lakemba. When I first moved there I loved it.
…..But in the nearly 15 years we lived there the suburb changed, and much for the worse.
Three dynamics interacted in a noxious fashion: the growth of a macho, misogynist culture among young men that often found expression in extremely violent crime; a pervasive atmosphere of anti-social behaviour in the streets; and the simultaneous growth of Islamist extremism and jihadi culture.
This is my story, our story and the story of a failed policy….’
