Hey guys I will be doing my English oral on how anti Islamic groups are a detriment to Australia. Just looking to get some opinions about how they are a determent to Australia or even if you think differently, it all will help!!

Hey! :)
Might come back and edit this later/add to this if I come up with more, but just some of the basics I can think of on the spot:
- it demotes Australia's support of multiculturalism (something we're known for)
- it promotes hate within society
- it enforces stereotyping which ultimately harms various groups in society
- it promotes racism and once that starts within one cultural group it's easy for it to spread (which obviously will lead to a much wider problem)
- it oppresses a minority group (and any form of oppression is wrong!)
- depending on the extent of the group, they often cause physical/emotional/social harm to the Islamic people (either through physical violence, emotional taunting or public humiliation)
- it can "convert" more people to become negative and spreads a general negative idea in the community
- it imposes a wholly inaccurate image of different social groups upon society at large, as they only see the worst of the anti-Islamic people an the worst of the Islamic people (as opposed to the large number who are fine, decent people)
These keep on coming and they're starting to a get a little repetitive now, but I hope that helped!! :) Best of luck with your English oral exam!

Google Waleed Ali's stance on this.
Plus mtse ;D has a great oral on a similar topic a year ago, see if you can derive ideas from that :)
