Our government has demonstrated its hatred and disrespect for Islam, by invading Afghanistan and Iraq, and soon Iran and Syria and also supporting the ethnic cleansing of Palestine. So it becomes apparent that a religious/race-war is at the forefront of their agenda.

After decimating their homelands with cluster bombs and making it uninhabitable with depleted uranium, the government controlled media has launched a pre-emptive strike on the dispossessed, seeking refuge in this country.

Foreign immigrants are already practically synonymous with terrorists, but by inventing statistics and scaremongering over T.B. and H.I.V., asylum seekers can now be blamed for “sexually transmitted” epidemics, with all the connotations that holds and the deterioration of Public Services.

This mass conditioning should trigger an immediate backlash from those who still believe what the government and news media says and refugees, after all they have been through, will bear the brunt.

The fabric of our society and quality of life is not being undermined by the occasional Somali family moving in next door, but it is being threatened by propaganda, intended to foment racial divisions and a summer of discontent.
