From the outset, the City of Bankstown in south-western Sydney's sprawling migrant belt is a picture of multiculturalism. The geographic heartland of Australia's
100,000-strong Lebanese community, its red brick apartments and cement-sheet homes are peppered with mosques, musallas and churches.
Men of Middle Eastern appearance banter amicably in Arabic within tea rooms and coffee shops, while women wearing headscarves, hijabs and, on the odd occasion, burqas wheel prams through Centro, Bankstown's sparkling white shopping center.
But below the surface of this lower-middle class success story is a Middle Eastern ghetto terrorized by members of its community. Restaurateurs in Bankstown pay up to $50,000 a year in protection money or risk having their premises firebombed, while Shia and Sunni Muslims exchange invectives and blows on the streets. Crime families exchange gunfire and trade narcotics with apparent immunity; arrestees in Bankstown are 60 times more likely to use heroin than those in other parts in Australia. And an otherwise law-abiding majority erect a wall of silence when dealing with police they regularly accuse and sue for thuggery and racial profiling.
"In the last few decades unfortunately we have not had peace in Lebanon," Pierre Semaan, of the Australian Lebanese Christian Foundation, tells TIME. "Killing and shooting and illegal activity have become part of daily life. So the problem we have now in Sydney is a ramification of what has been going on in Lebanon."
That much was confirmed by Lieutenant Colonel Rony Ghanem of Lebanon's Internal Security Force. "We are afraid there is some connection between these guys here and the guys in Lebanon," he said during a three-month visit to Sydney earlier this year to exchange information on criminal syndicates with the New South Wales Police Force's Middle Eastern Crime Squad.
And "these guys" are well armed. There were 72 drive-by shootings in Sydney in the first half of this year — one every 2½ days — most of which took place in Bankstown, the City of Liverpool further west and in Sydney's inner-west. Drive-bys were virtually unheard of in Sydney until the mid-1990s, when the sons and grandsons of hardworking Lebanese migrants emerged as serious players in a world of organized crime, hitherto dominated by Vietnamese and Calabrian gangs.
"In the past there was a code among crime gangs in Sydney that bodies in the street were bad for business," says Michael Duffy, the author of Drive By, a new novel about a Lebanese crime family and the efforts of a bigoted, dispirited police force to lock them up. "But with drive-by shootings, the nature of criminality in Sydney has changed. That's what's so disturbing."
Selda Dagistanli, a lecturer in criminology at the University of Western Sydney, agrees that, "When you attach criminal behavior to ethnicity, that's racist, and it makes you question the motivation of the people saying it."
New South Wales Police Deputy Commissioner Nick Kaldas says the problem in Bankstown and other parts of southwestern Sydney is not as bad as it seems. "There are certainly criminal groups you could describe as Middle Eastern in origin but the lines are now blurring," he tells TIME. "Criminals are coming together from a really diverse range of backgrounds to do bad things together." Nevertheless he acknowledges Middle Eastern organized crime in the city is not going to go away and more research is needed. "Before we can solve it we need to understand it," he says, "and I'm not sure we do."
Trad thinks the problem can be nipped in the bud by changing the way schools deal with Lebanese delinquents. While working as CEO of the Australian International Islamic College in Brisbane last year, he initiated a new program that saw problem students placed in a behavior-management room where they were closely supervised by an Islamic cleric.
"At first they resisted, but we made them believe that respect is something every child deserves, but that they needed to take action to earn that respect," he says. "What we found was that in a matter of weeks they were excelling the other kids in school. The improvement was remarkable ... Imagine what they would be capable of if they had a better start in life."
Want to fix this? Lure the Lebs into a class room that is a shipping container, lock the doors and tell Malaysia Airlines to come collect it!
Note: Senior NSW police in the mid and late 90's spoke of this problem and that they had it almost totally under control ... until the state government stepped in and declared the activities of the police to be racist and effectively hamstrung the police to gain votes from the growing Lebo community.

The NSW Police Deputy Commissioner sounds ecstatically happy that criminals today come from a such a "diverse range of backgrounds to do bad things together." I can already see what side the Deputy Commissioner is on, and where he'll be
hanging, come the Day of the Rope!

Pontifex Cambeul.
It is just plain sick Australia prides it's self on importing rubbish people from crap places..(nobody voted to have here) then... Clowns from Government departments go on to make excuses why the Lebs are "such poor darlings" who are affected by Australians being bigoted to them in school and their folks being too strict in the home.
Trying to understand the Islamic thugs? That is not going to solve anything! They are wankers because race is real and it matters, just :-hot headed, violent, impulsive and arrogant buggers who intend to take Australia for themselves by being vicious in every way possible! Incapable of running things by themselves ... and coming from a hell hole of a nation ... so they expect to turn our place into the same mess!
The big picture is that the Jews sentenced the entire White Race to death, bastardisation and mongrelisation many thousands of years ago. Only now they have the global power to push it on every front. with media propaganda, mass invasion of our White lands, the promotion of sterile lifestyles, decadence, materialism, pollution, poisonous food, self destruction and induced mental illness. The only island of sanity in this sea of chaos is our great and sacred world view- Creativity. It is the only light of salvation for our people. They must be exposed to it.
Well , we have the Lebs in Australia for a couple of reasons.
(1) the Kikes went back to Israel and they pushed the Palestinians to neighbouring lands. Lebanon was Christian at one point and the Palestinians went there and .. yes a civil war kicked off. Idiot traitors in Australian Government like :- Gough Whitlam, Don Dunstan( fag and race traitor in one) and Immigration minister for Whitlam , Al Grasby( who was a mafia shonk) destroyed the white Australia policy without us voting on it and let the middle eastern vermin in.
The immigration of more Leb scum also came from Malcom Fraser. Now the chooks are coming home to roost. &:(
It is damn hard for all their crap to be reversed here now.There is just one way to get rid of the problem for all.. but the Government of today wouldn't dare implement such policies! ::)
