The dinosaurs of crusade mentality can still be found in the Austraian national character. Australia is the last bastion of stealth crusade against Islam.  Among the anti-Islamic religious bigots of the world, Australians are the leaders.   They assert their hatred of Islam, by sending their armed forces to countries, where they can kill Muslims, for example Afghanistan.  Australians demonstrate their religious bigotry in subtle ways.  Recently, Australia announced sales of uranium to Hindu India, while at the same time banning such sales to Muslim Pakistan.  The objective being to support Hindu India’s nuclear program, which could kill thousands of Muslims.  Even, though the major faith of Australia is Christianity, which is an integral part of Abrahamic religious triad of Judiasm, Islam, Christianity.  But, this argument is overcome by the inherent anti-Islamic current, which is part of Australian psyche. At the moment the stealth crusade mentality has clouded the rational thinking of Australians.

 A decade-long national study has found that nearly 50 per cent of Australians identify themselves as having anti-Muslim attitudes. Researchers from universities across the country polled thousands of people about their attitudes to different cultures and whether they had experienced racism.  The research found around one in 10 Australians identified themselves as prejudiced against other cultures. About one-quarter of those surveyed said they had anti-Semitic or anti-Asian attitudes, while a slightly larger number were prejudiced against Aborigines.
