I have no problem with religion. I don't consider myself to be a religious person, but i can appreciate those who are. Islam should not be treated differently to any other religion, judaism, catholosism, christianity are all religions with similar values that all look up to a higher being. I think it's extremely unfortunate, not to mention unjust, that all Muslims living in Australia must suffer prejudices sparked by past events such as the infamous Cronulla riots, the bombings of 9/11, Bali and London. It is not fair to assume someone is a terrorist or that they support terrorism simply because they follow a certain religion and/or look a certain way. This is racist, and a grim warning - we'd better do something about it quickly, if we don't want to breed our own home-grown terrorists.All Australians, no matter what their nationality, cultural or religious background, have a right to feel safe, respected and part of the community in which they live.
