Tensions between youths of Arabic descent and white Australians have been rising in recent years, largely because of anti-Muslim sentiment fueled by the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks in the United States and bombings on the Indonesian island of Bali that killed 202 people, including 88 Australians, in October 2002. About 300,000 Muslims live in Australia, a majority in large cities. A lot of the problems in AU are economic like they were in France. The poorer/blue color Aussies are competing with the Muslims for the same jobs. Many of those jobs have been lost in the past decade. At the same time, 25% of AU's population in 2000 was foreign born. In other words, this reaction is in part racially motivated in spite of how much Howard tries to spin it that its not. AU has the same kind of leadership that this country has......inept. ted
