There is a greater amount of Arab Christians than Muslims in Australia. Mostly Maronites.
The Combination is about Lebanese Christian thugs/gangs...
The Combination is about TWO Lebanese Christians, one of which is actively convincing his brother to steer away from the gang, which is predominanetly Muslim. Out of the gang (which is Middle Eastern and not Lebanese), this characters younger brother obviously does not fully 'belong' to the gang, which is obviously proven when he finds it hard to holdup the supermarket. I'm talking about the guy with the normal hair cut.
Also, I highly doubt there are a higher number of Arab Christians than Muslims in Australian - at worst, the number is almost even - however I do stand to be proven incorrect.
Oh, that explains it heaps. Are you lebanese by any chance?
I've always wondered why the earlier lebanese generations (pre 1990) have integrated well into Australian society and have much to contribute. David Malouf and that aussie home loans bloke, just to name a few examples. Then you have the post 1990 shitheads 'fully sick bro' type.
Just must be from other ends of the country.
This is kind of true, but I don't think it's as black and white 'north and south' issue. It depends more on the actual area in which these people's parents originated in Lebanon.
A lot of the Lebanese in Australia have in fact integrated into society to an extent to which you wouldn't really identify them as being Lebanese and I don't think this is only limited to pre 1990 Lebanese Australians.
It's also important to note that a sizeable chunk of these morons aren't solely Lebanese, but are from other Middle Eastern countries.
Having said that, there is a still a large subculture who act like fuckwits. I think there are a few factors, which aren't cultural, which contribute to the problem and are often overlooked, including which area they're from and their socio-economic status.
I think certain areas in Sydney in particular, have their own 'gang' (although I wouldn't really say there are proper gangs in Australia besides the Bikies) sub-culture, and this really contributes to the problem.
