| Call for halt to Muslim immigration |
| 2007-03-10 |
| THE leader of the Christian Democratic Party, Reverend Fred Nile, has called for an immediate moratorium on Islamic immigration to Australia Rev Nile, who is the longest serving member of the NSW Legislative Council, was speaking to supporters at a gathering in the Sydney suburb of North Ryde yesterday. He said there has been no serious study of the potential effects on Australia of more than 300,000 Muslims who are already here, and Australians deserve a breathing space so the situation can be carefully assessed before Islamic immigration can be allowed to resume. In the meantime, Australia should extend a welcoming hand to the many thousands of persecuted Christians who are presently displaced or at risk in the Middle East. "I pray that within a decade, Muslims in Australia will clearly have demonstrated their commitment to Aussie values including democratic pluralism and the rights of women. We can then assess whether Muslim immigration should begin again," he said. Rev Nile is leading 21 Christian Democratic Party candidates contesting seats in the NSW Legislative Council at the March 24 state election. Fifty-three Christian Democratic Party candidates are also running in Legislative Assembly electorates across the state. Rev Nile said there are many reasons why it's appropriate for NSW voters to make a statement on a federal issue as important as immigration. He said NSW has the benefit of a big share of Australia's Middle Eastern Christians, and they're rightly alarmed at the rapid growth in NSW of Islamic concentrations, where the English language is disregarded and Australian family values are unknown or despised. |

| #13 Only those among us with brains have already realized that we are at war with Islam. Therefore, why would we ever consider allowing more of them into our country ? Only asshole politicians would answer in the affirmative. |

| #6 A halt on islamic immigration is like putting a finger in the dyke (I hope I am spelling that correctly). It is a start but at some point somebody else is going to have to start bailing. |

| #5 "The fear of Allah is not there. So we have now a polluted earth, a polluted water, a wasteland," he(sheik Mohammed Omran) told a meeting this year. As a opposed to the environmental paradise known as the middle east. Nile wants to halt the invasion while Oman wants to solidify the colonization through procreation. |

| #3 I'm not a fan of Pat Buchanan but I think years ago he recommended we adopt a policy like this in America. The time has come to consider it. |
