(35,954 posts)What happened was really horrific. When it comes to minority community groups in Australia, they do appear to be supportive of each other (not sure about back when those murders and bashings were happening). Earlier this year there was an attack on a group of Jews and amongst the community leaders who spoke out against the attack were Muslim leaders. Which makes sense. If they all work together and support each other, then at least it's not a splintered bunch of minority groups all under attack.
I think the antidote to bigoted attacks on minority groups is education. Unfortunately with our current RW prime minister and a govt that has more than a few all-rounder bigoted types, there's not much chance of it being promoted from the top and will have to be grass roots...
