Hmmm... the "rift" wouldn't have anything to do with Muslims'
penchant for raping women "leb-style", kidnapping and beheading
"infidels", referring to women as "uncovered meat", hijacking
and blowing things up, cartoon rage, jihad, "carbecues" etc etc?

Rift between Muslims and non-Muslims blamed on Govt, media
A Melbourne Islamic leader has told a forum in Canberra that the
Federal Government and the media have created the rift between Muslim
and non-Muslim Australians.
About 350 randomly selected people from all over Australia have
converged on Canberra this weekend to take part in a deliberative
poll on Islamic relations.
Sheikh Mohammad Omran from the Islamic Information and Support Centre
in Melbourne told the participants that the media and government have
created the problem.
"The issue that we have is an artificially created problem between the
Muslims and the non-Muslims," he said.
The results of the subsequent poll will be compiled by the Issues
Deliberation think tank and presented to federal governments to
influence policy change.
