I'd be more interested in what the Sudanese think about this. Do they care? Are they grateful for a home? Do they feel marginalised or used as political genia pigs?

I checked out sudanexpats.com but all I could find was a discussion on aboveground pools vs inground ones, and a thread called 'how far do you have to walk for water", and "Can I bring my camel?"

There was even a section called 'moving back to the Sudan' where some radicals were missing a good old 'fire-fight' with their neighbours and desert sandstorms, and the rich tapestry of dried-up river wadis. "V8s are so ungodly" one man cries. 'You need a license to marry more than one woman'

As I said before GEDGE wrongly deleted my post based on me being 'racist' or something (yet slanting Islam isnt racist as Islam isnt a race!), that I think they have done they right thing not to allow more 'refugees' from an islamic country into Australia.

Now I wonder if some rule will be made up to try and ban me now? Hmmmm.

Freedom of speech?

If you have a problem with the action of a moderator, please discuss it by pm with Admin, not on the forum.Your previous post was considered racist and Gedge was right to delete it.

Oh come on, you're making that up! There must have been a thread on the price of lettuce.

Don't be so sure. Principled local politicians aren't always canned. Having said that it is very stressful to know that you are up against a very vocal minority.

so as a `Daily mail` reader which would appear to be a generic term of abuse here,

here is a paradox for those of you good people who don`t

whorship at the church of St. Peter of Hitchens

` where in Queensland do the Sudanese take their eight year old daughters to be circumsized ?`


answer me that and stay fashionable....

Its a bit like saying all english people are football hooligans,

Can I remind you guys, we are all immigrants.. we are not locals.. however just because we are white, a lot of people seem to forget that.

honestly.. I have never been so embarrassed and angry for the population of BE !!!!

(rant over.. deep breath...pour beer..)
Your not going to believe this but I agree with some of the points you are making.
I dont care about the colour of peoples skin but I do worry about muslims because in deepest darkest Cambs and Lincs ( Im on the border ) we have more than our fair share and the longer they are here the more radical their ideals become. you would have thought that some having escaped tyrany would be happy to leave the radicals behind instead they just try and introduce it here. I reccon religion should be banned it has caused more wars than anything else, so I let them in providing they dont want to set up mosques and dont try to integrate.

If these are educated people then give them a residence visa with the proviso that if they break the law in any way they serve what ever sentence is handed down and are immediately deported afterwards. Same as happens in certain middle eastern countries.
Nothing like a bit of generalisation first thing in the morning...

Not sure about being fashionable but I am sure they can always find someone from back home with a rusty razor blade to do the job.

I did consider that in my satire but decided it was too topical.
