Work on a new Buddhist Temple began work today in Nicholls. Blessings and foundations were laid today, the start of a long process planned to end in 2015.

“The foundation stone ceremony signified the official commencement to the construction phase for the
temple,” Dr Bourke said.

“It is wonderful that the temple’s foundation stone ceremony is in the week that Canberra is celebrating 100
years since the laying of the city’s foundation stone.

“When completed, the complex will house a temple, landscaped gardens and residential quarters for the monks
who will stay on site.”

I do wish people would stop acting as though every Muslim is an extremist menace intent on turning Australia into an Islamic state. For every extremist Muslim I bet there’s just as many white-anglo bigots, if not far more. We should stick all those types on a boat to NZ, IMO.

Yep. I have met far more racist pos white trash in my life than the equivalent type of Muslim.

What exactly would you call the equivalent type of Muslim? I’m sure you must have a nice epithet for them too right?

Racist pos brown trash????? No idea, never personally met one of those. I have however heard Hadley, jones and loads of other libtards and white trash racist pos talk about the brown trash racist pos so I guess they must be out there somewhere ruining our wonderful white perfect country….just yet to see any evidence of it yet. Wanna show me some sauce?

I’m pretty sure being a Muslim doesn’t make you brown.

You know that and I know that but ask the ignorant bigots and that’s what they will tell you.

And in a stunning new first for RiotAct, the ‘racism’ card was played BEFORE the thread even got going.

Somehow, I think the eagerness of many to throw the bigot label around has more to do with chest-beating than it has to do with defending the rights of others.

Really? well perhaps you ought to do some research for racism is a massive global problem and religious intolerance has become ‘the new racism’.

Buddhists are peaceful and don’t push their views on anyone. They also aren’t trying to change Australian culture.

Really?

Tell that to the Rohingya and Karen people in Burma. Not to mention the Tamil’s in Sri Lanka. They’d be grateful to hear that the people killing them by the 10’s of 1000’s are peaceful people.

In fact I would say that in the last 20 years Buddhists are responsible for 10,000 times more deaths than muslims can be blamed for.

As for changing Australian culture?? Did you get that from Today Tonight? Thought so… you don’t have to apologise. It’s ok to be a moron.

The difference being of course that you can call white-anglo anything you like without fear. Mention that Islamics may be less than spotless in their views and you are branded a racist.

I think if you found a muslim who was objectively a bigoted f***wit, and you simply called him a bigoted f***wit without any mention of rags or towels or sand or the Qu’ran then nobody could say you were being racist. Unfortunately a lot of people seem have trouble separating their issues with Islam from their issue with Muslims.

I’m sure you meant to say “*some* Islamics”

?

Why should Maoris have to deal with them?

Also, someone likes Chris Bourke so much they tagged him as christ bourke, which is a funny slip in the context.

I’m counting on the Maoris being more than capable of beating the bulls**t out of them. That way they either stop being so horrible, or they die.

I would be happy to see the temple…. Would not be happy to see the mosque.
My personal views, sorry if it offends.

Don’t apologise, you’re the one I feel sorry for.

The horror the horror.

Maybe I’m not in the loop (or just stopped listening until now), but this is the first I’ve heard of a Buddhist temple.

Given the hoopla over the proposed Muslim mosque in the same suburb, can someone please explain why there’s been nil concern over this one?

Or are Buddhists more likely to walk or cycle so those same ‘parking’ concerns aren’t an issue here….
