…and they will keep breaking the law, which, in their view, needs to be replaced with shari’a, Islamic law:

Otherwise, could it be that the brawl was caused by “Global Warming”, which, as we all know, also causes prostitution…?

Bringing the trouble they fled from

Andrew Bolt

That’s 150 applications for asylum here that we no longer need to consider:

A BRAWL on Christmas Island involving 150 detainees has injured 37 Afghans and Sri Lankans, several of them seriously.

Fairfax and News Ltd newspapers say 10 of the detainees were taken to the island’s hospital and three of the more seriously hurt – one with a broken leg, one with a broken jaw and one with a broken nose – were flown to Perth for treatment.

UPDATE

It’s bad new for Australia, of course. It was bad enough when Indians were being bashed here, causing us to be accused of racism - even by Eddie McGuire. Now that Sri Lankans and Afghans are being bashed as well, our shame is complete.

Afghans say poverty, not Taliban, main cause of war…

Sure thing.     But  poverty is caused by Islam, and Islam causes terror and jihad, and that causes poverty for which the kuffar is to blame.

Okay, but now lets talk about winning hearts and minds of the Muslim people, you Islamophobes, you!

KABUL (Reuters) – Most Afghans see not Taliban militants but poverty, unemployment and government corruption as the main causes of war in their country, according to a report by a leading aid group released on Wednesday.

After three decades of war, Afghanistan remains one of the poorest and least developed countries in the world. It is also one of the most corrupt. Unemployment stands at 40 percent and more than half the country live below the poverty line.

On top of that, violence is at its highest levels since U.S.-backed Afghan forces toppled the Taliban in late 2001.

The report, based on a survey of more than 700 ordinary Afghans by British charity Oxfam and several local aid groups, found that 70 percent of people questioned viewed poverty and unemployment as the main drivers of the conflict.

Nearly half of those surveyed said corruption and the ineffectiveness of their government were the main reasons for the continued fighting, while 36 percent said the Taliban insurgency was to blame.

The 704 respondents from around the country were allowed to give multiple answers on reasons for the conflict.

“The people of Afghanistan have suffered 30 years of unrelenting horror. Afghan society has been devastated,” said Grace Ommer, Oxfam Country Director for Afghanistan.

“Repairing this damage can’t be done overnight. It will take a long time for the economic, social and psychological scars to heal … Afghanistan needs more than military solutions,” she said in statement.

AFGHANS FRUSTRATED

There are some 110,000 foreign soldiers in Afghanistan, 68,000 of them American, trying to quell a strengthening Taliban insurgency that has spread to previously peaceful areas.

U.S. President Barack Obama is in the final stages of deciding whether to send up to 40,000 more U.S. troops.

But ordinary Afghans are frustrated at the slow pace of development, endemic corruption and the inability of Afghan and international security forces to stop the violence.

Despite the billions of dollars in aid poured into the country, most Afghans have seen few changes to their lives. Afghanistan relies on aid for around 90 percent of its spending.

“Many individuals felt that though much had been promised to the Afghan people, little had actually been delivered — creating frustration and disillusionment and ultimately undermining stability,” Oxfam said in its report.

“Individuals called for better measures to ensure that economic development and aid reach those who need it the most,” it said.

After the Taliban, the reason most people gave for the continued fighting in their country was foreign interference, 25 percent of respondents saying other countries were to blame.

No visas, boys? Welcome to Australia!

Per Express to KRuddistan:

THE Rudd government last night moved to overturn John Howard’s controversial policy of processing all asylum-seekers off-shore, allowing a group of detained Afghan youths to leave Christmas Island and arrive on mainland Australia without visas.

In an unprecedented move that coincided with the arrival of yet another boat of asylum-seekers at the Indian Ocean territory last night, the 10 boys boarded a chartered Qantas jet carrying 56 newly recognised Afghan refugees from the island to Perth, Adelaide and Melbourne.

The move, confirmed by the Department of Immigration and Citizenship last night, was welcomed by the Refugee and Immigration Legal Centre as a “substantial departure from the previous policy of condemning everyone including children to detention on Christmas Island”.

The flight departed Christmas Island, which was excised from Australia’s migration zone in 2003 by the Howard government, just hours before a further 52 asylum-seekers and three crew landed on the island after being intercepted by HMAS Ararat near Ashmore Reef on Saturday.

There are now 665 people in immigration detention on Christmas Island; 571 of them are single men being kept at the Howard government’s $400 million immigration detention centre on the island’s northwest point; 62 are living in a converted construction workers’ compound; and 32 are in houses on the island in what is termed “community detention”.
