FRUITS OF ONE TREE

In my opinion intolerance and prejudice and are based on fear and ignorance.

The facts about multiculturism in Australia at the official Government website.

'Multicultural' is a term that describes the cultural and linguistic diversity of Australian society. Cultural and linguistic diversity was a feature of life for the first Australians, well before European settlement. It remains a feature of modern Australian life, and it continues to give us distinct social, cultural and business advantages. The Australian Government's multicultural policy addresses the consequences of this diversity in the interests of the individual and society as a whole. It recognises, accepts, respects and celebrates our cultural diversity. The freedom of all Australians to express and share their cultural values is dependent on their abiding by mutual civic obligations. More here

We should focus on the human and ethical values that all human beings hold in common, instead of superficiual cultural and religious differences?

This quotation and the link express my views

"Ye are the fruits of one tree, and the leaves of one branch. Deal ye one with another with the utmost love and harmony, with friendliness and fellowship - Baha'u'llah"

LIEL SINGING WITH BILL CLINTON

Beautiful singing by Liel

She's still a teenager but already has been dubbed the next Celine Dion, and performed with the likes of former president Bill Clinton and opera legend Jose Carreras. Meet Liel, an Israeli singer who's on the way to becoming a huge star.

The then 16-year-old first started singing when she was four, but it wasn't until she won a major European talent contest at the age of 11 that she really made her mark. She's particularly popular in Germany, where she's appeared on numerous TV shows and played concerts everywhere from Leipzig to Berlin

Well worth a listen
