Camden residents stops islamic school.

I too am happy this proposal was refused by the council. I don't believe it is racism of any sort. I think Australia is a very accepting place of all the different cultures but at the same time, building a whole school devoted to one religion is only helping to create a gap in the different cultures, etc that are present.

At university we had many overseas students, American, Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Swedish, etc. Only problem that I could see was they often stuck in groups perhaps because they felt like they didn't fit, so the best thing that can be done is to encourage everyone to stick together....

If I moved to another country I'd be thrilled to join in and mix with the present culture. It's a chance to adopt a new way of life, learn new things, etc, etc....I don't see why people have to be so stubborn.

Thoughts?
