Racism, prejudice against Muslims in Australia

Responding to Hate against Muslims: Over 200 internal web pages of articles, resources, and insights
NOTE: We categorically reject using the intolerance, hate crimes, racism and discrimination exposed or recorded on this web site or elsewhere - which Muslims, Arabs and other visible minorities suffer from or experience in western nations - to make any kinds of generalizations about the west, Christianity, the white race, or any other kinds of generalizations.
Generalizations are not only irrational, they do not reflect reality, and we have no use for them. No matter how many "white", "Christian", "westerners" practice intolerance and racism, the overwhelming majority are the most decent, tolerant people imaginable. Significantly, the same applies to the other side, the Muslim side, and indeed one could invoke the same in every other "side", Jewish, Hindu, Sikh, etc. as evidence to that truth.
Racism and Prejudice against Muslims in Australia and New Zealand News, views, and information as published in the Media, Official reports, Academic research, and Political statements (**)
(**) For information about the original racism of European Australians against the indigenous peoples - the "Aborigines" - of Australia see:
see "Australia's deep-rooted racism"
IMPORTANT --- Keep the following in mind regarding racism against Arabs and Muslims in Australia:
Though the news and views items below are mostly from mainstream Australian, New Zealander, British and other media outlets, there is marked deficiency in the coverage of racism in Australia: The views of the victims, perceived victims, or alleged victims of racism are practically ignored.
For example, after the Sydney beach events (see below), we neither heard nor read anything in which the much maligned Middle Eastern (or Lebanese) young men were interviewed properly, if at all, on how they feel about their lives in Sydney, what problems they face, their likes and dislikes about their lives in Australia as a whole, or anything of the sort. So the reader should keep that general problem in mind when reading one item after the other dealing with the issue from one side only, as if the other party involved, the said Lebanese, were some virtual concept unavailable for commentary.
For a complete list of HaSM catalogues, see the end of this or any other catalogue on the web site.
Contemporary as well as older items for the sake of comparison

The page is a refutation and response to the racist and hateful articles below (on this page) which blame any racial problems in Australia on "Middle Eastern" young men and other visible minorities but ignore Australia's reprehensible racism.

I am Lebanese and proud to be Australian. How can I get this message across when no one gives me the time of day? How can I get this message across when talk-back radio hosts speak on racial issues and incite more hatred than anyone else? It’s truly absurd. It feels like I have lost the fight before it has even begun.
