The chairman of the Government's Islamic advisory committee has warned of more Cronulla-style riots unless the Prime Minister tones down his rhetoric on Muslim migrants. John Howard sparked a backlash in some sections of Australia's Muslim community by saying on talk-back radio yesterday that Muslim migrants needed to conform to Australian values by learning English and treating women with respect. But the head of the Government's new Muslim advisory committee, Dr Ameer Ali, warned of trouble unless the Prime Minister backed down. "We have already witnessed one incident in Sydney recently in Cronulla, I don't want these scenes to be repeated because when you antagonise the younger generation, younger group, they are bound to react,'' Dr Ali told Macquarie Radio.

as much as i hate john howard for his stupid bald political dickheadedness I have to admit that asking people who move to australia to respect our laws and values is not something that should be "warned" against. anyone living in our country needs to respect our laws (well most of them) especially those laws that protect the women in our society. Muslim or not, if you are coming to Australia you need to accept that everyone is equal.

I agree Jono

I am sick of this country being held to ransom. Anywhere you travel in the world, whether it be for a holiday or to relocate you must respect the fundamental laws of their society. If you do not agree with them then why would you want to live there in the first place?

I still hate John Howard but!

lol @ the threat.
