sorry dude, just gotta laugh at that. based on that comment you really can't travel anywhere in the world coz of what's happening in those countries also (which you don't see on the news).
i can understand your concern but i've lived here most of my life and it really isn't anything new, just a lot more media attention on it on this occasion for some stupid reason.
seriously the whole sydney beach thing has been blown waaay out of proportion. |
i actually think ur promoting scared him off ;) |

sure the media has blown it out of proportion, but being arab and coming to oz for the sole purpose of having a good time is out of the question right now!! you say it isn't anything new?? if thats the case then the media should have blown it out of proportion a long time ago. |

| Just don't go to Sydney then. You can still have a good time. Australia's a ing big place, Sydney's not the only place here. |

let's just say 9/11 changed the way ethnics, arabs perhaps more than others, are perceived by the general public in many places.
i don't agree with it but in your mind when do you think it will ever be truly safe to travel again?
let's also keep it in perspective here, the actions of a select few in a specific suburb (not the entire state or country) is not representative of the entire nation. |

that's pretty stupid lol, i bet you're one of those travellers that never leave their 4 star hotel and tour bus in fear of the vicious natives :p
geographically sydney is one of the largest cities in the world, and its poppulation of people with middle eastern background is as large as Toronto's; this is hte first time something of this nature has happened and its in a dodgy suburb an hours drive outside of sydney
dijital, a Persian Toronto Tranceaddict living down here at the moment and many other sydney TAs with middle eastern heritage would tell you you're being melodramatic :p |

Give me a home amongst the gum trees
with lots of plum trees, a sheep or two, a kangaroo
A clothes line out the back, verandah out the front,
and a old rocking chair.
