It is a such a pity, we as adults need to install in to children to not be fearful of others by explaining minority groups of people are not a reflection of all.
I still hope that if I ever return to Melbourne I will see those little children all happily playing with each other and I was not talking about white clad Muslims or special schools I was talking about the public school system. I lived in Melbourne and there are so many Israelis, Turks, Ukraine's, Greeks, Aussies, Italians, Africans etc etc all happily walking together hand in had, not worrying about whether their friend had a turban or they were a different colour or even bald. This is the only way the future is going to be bright, look at it through the eyes of the children who have not had the fear from adults placed on them and just want to play with their friend.
