open the Bible, read from the Gospel of John, chapter I, and the first five numbers: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God all things were made by him; and without him was not any thing than him was life, and the life was the light of men, and the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. " We read also in the same chapter, the fourteenth number: "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us and we beheld his glory, glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth." At the beginning of this Gospel, "the Gospel of John," In the first words: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." And then come the verse, which says: "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us and we beheld his glory, glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth." In this find, he did not doubt the divinity of the Lord Jesus Christ. The skeptical at birth and upbringing and said he is human like any human being despite the fact that his birth was not like the birth of a human being; because that carried his blessing and all generations Ttobha has been resolved by the Holy Spirit and carried him. If we want to talk about the three years of preaching that the Lord Jesus Christ initiated after Imadth in a river law, and all he did in the three years of the miracles and signs came out, did not give the one before or after, but the man also remained skeptical, even followed him and believed in him, the doubt enters their hearts sometimes. Comes the period before the steel and pre-death and before the resurrection, and after the resurrection in which the events and news that leaves no room for doubt as to who is Christ .. Is it a man or incarnated god, as John said: "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us .." before steel entered Jerusalem, the entry of kings conquerors on the back of a colt the foal of an ass. In Jerusalem, showed the same divine when he entered the temple and the expulsion of vendors and moneychangers beaten with a whip, he says: "My house is called a house of prayer has made it a den of thieves." Betty .. say about the places of worship they are houses of God. He has spoken himself about himself: "My house is called a house of prayer ..". Then he told them, Destroy this temple, and his two sons in three days. No one understands what it means to say this; for it is unreasonable in the human concept, to destroy this temple in three days and who built took forty-six years. But he knows in advance what will happen! .. Was mean the structure of his body when crucified and buried for three days and then rise from the grave victorious over death, "where is thy sting Yamout! .. O grave, where is thy victory! ..". We come to a very important question, touring Boukhatr everyone even the same insurer, which is: Is it the duty of the Almighty God to be crucified and shed his blood in this way? To answer "Yes, is not through the blood path of salvation." To advance the science of God took the man knows since he came out of paradise after prolonged and tried to take the knowledge to himself and find God refers to the salvation of the blood. Acceptance of the offering of Abel slaughtered and rejected Cain's offering of the land. Many references in the Bible to prove the need for the presence of blood for salvation, "the animal's blood, as happened with Abel and Father Abraham and his son Isaac." So it was not among human beings, whether in the past or the present or the future of his blood be valuable to have an offering for the salvation of human blood only son of the living God, Jesus Christ. You may also wonder: Why steel? Why do not you cut off his head, as happened with John the Baptist, for example? But the cross is a shame the stage at that time. Cross these days when some people also shame Faihtkaronh and Liedson him and mock him. But the cross is the true believer is the Almighty and Pottery code and guide the victory of all the pains and humiliations and Aloangarat. Crucifixion of Christ! Christ died ..! .. The tomb of Christ! .. The next day, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb Balottiyab according to the custom of the Jews on the shrouding of the body, did not find the body and found the tomb empty! .. Afraid of women! .. Rushed looking! .. but he called her. I rushed him joy to see him, you want to touch it! .. And here appeared the real divine body, preventing it from touching it, she sees the same body, but the fact that the body of Noorani, and no one can touch him except for those who the Lord wants to touch him, as happened with Thomas skeptical !. . Christ visited his disciples even though the doors closed behind them they have lived in fear and panic from the oppression of their people. Thomas was not present when he told him so. Did not believe! .. These cases many of the children of the world since that day until now, and to the end: "I believe in." Went in the Lord Jesus Christ said to Thomas: "This is my hand, this is my side, do you believe? Aatuma! .. Blessed are those who believe and did not see"! .. Blessed each believer in these days that still faith in the hearts of many human beings. Blessed each believer to the large number of skeptics in the Lord Christ the Savior. Blessed each believer, they know full well that the Almighty God and his love for the great man made him the ideal hits on the meaning of love, sacrifice and humility. Most High God, come down from his pedestal modestly dressed in the human body. This is the man who, when his creation, created in his image! What prevents him to take the same body, the body of this creature, which I love Kmath and, of course, God does not want to destroy this man, it was the salvation on the cross, and the victory was in the resurrection. Let the Christian world celebrate the resurrection is a celebration of the joy of salvation! .. Ground heavenly redemption and salvation; because the Lord on the cross, cried out before leaving the body and said:

"Kdokml"! .. Yes has completed the veil of the temple from top to bottom was Solh between heaven and earth man and returned to the glory of God's love permanent. Because God loved man. But his passion has presented himself as a sacrifice and an offering .. It says in the Bible: For God so loved the world that his only begotten Son that whoever believes in him but have eternal life!

Contemporary Australian society is characterized by cultural diversity and openness to the world.  Australia has proved to be successful in its commitment to the preservation of multiculturalism, and therefore we see Australia shows more sympathy and interaction with humanitarian issues and oppressed peoples than any other countries in the world.
Australia adopted the application of contemporary social philosophy based on the principle of multiculturalism or cultural diversity since the early seventies, which replaced the policy of “White Australia” or “Anglo-Saxon”.  Australia accepted and absorbed immigrants from all different countries around the world, of diverse races and nationalities, religions and cultures, in the hope of integration into the Australian society and expecting those cohorts of immigrants to become an active part of its ingredients.  Not surprising, if we know that Australia today has more than 220 ethnic origins speaking 225 different languages that all compose cultural diversity.  This undoubtedly requires all to live in peace and mutual respect for others within the atmosphere that allows freedom, democracy and equal opportunity, as a means to promote harmony among all people irrespective of their religion and ethnicity.
On the other hand, the Australian government expects from those ethnic communities to loyally respond, by acting real good citizens and being able to engage and adapt in today's new Australian nation, and making positive contributions to building their new home Australia.
With the worsening of conflicts in the Middle Eastern countries, and the emergence of extremist fundamentalist groups, and terrorists, we have witnessed an increase in the fissures between ethnic communities in general, and the gap began to widen in the whole one society, even among Muslims themselves. At present, there are some indicators that draw attention to the emergence of extremism in some places like schools and centers of prayer, and also to the rapid growing of extremist ideology. This growing phenomenon is observable in the number of young (teen agers) Australians who want to travel abroad, to Syria and Iraq to join the ranks of terrorists of Daash. It has already become a concern to the security authorities in the country, which compelled to suspend their actions from traveling outside Australia or return to it.
Therefore, we (Australians) firmly believe that there is an urgent need to re-examine the social, political and cultural aspects, including educational and religious curriculum, as well as recognizing the importance of arts, literature and music to bridge the knowledge gaps and to bring communities together. That is why it has become more important than ever - in this turbulent era - that we certainly need a radical change, in terms of having the ability to rethink and to be more creative, in making new collective efforts to revise the curriculum in terms of religion, citizenship and humanity in order to build mutual trust, and to give hope to young people, to achieve security, harmony, love and peace.
It should be noted here, to highlight the importance of the Australian Arab solidarity in this area, and how much we need to have a moderate responsible leaders of Arab origin, especially if we know that the number of Muslims and Christians constitute together more than half of the world's population (%55).  It is certain now that a great part of the world’s future will depend on the success of interfaith dialogue between religions, in order to effect transformation in the human mentality and to make the change occurs at both the individual and collective levels, to what be recognized as suitable to our contemporary time.
Talking about our contemporary time, may raise more than one question: How can transformation happen? Transformation of what? Transformation to what? Why? How can we change? How can we move from old thought to new thinking? How is it possible to remove the old black extremist thought and make rebirth of moderate bright one? Are these ideological thought which prevail at present will shrink the concept of cultural diversity, and perhaps will be phasing it, especially some community members tend to stick to the traditions of the mother country at the expense of Australia's new home? This is followed at a later question?
How has the Arab community affected the Australian society in terms of cultural diversity? And how they interacted and to what extent? And if so, was it positive or negative impact? Has the Arab community in Australia brought about contemporary thinkers/theorists/ scholars/ philosophers to discuss the concepts of "freedom" or "democracy", "justice,", " equality "," respect for others ", for example? How to defeat terrorism ideology? Or talk on the issue of absorption of the concept of "contemporary”?  So much need today to innovate , to rethink for foreseeing a new vision that can take the goodness of both (old and new) and recreate them in a new mould, like producing  fresh juice,  that is suitable to nourish the emerging contemporary generations.
Australia has always lead the way to drink from cups that full of important and necessary concepts in our lives, such as high values that already mentioned above, and we have to work together to blend this new juice with the contemporary spirit . This will enable us to shift from backwardness to progress, from freeze state to dynamic. We can weave a new fabric of thought to fit our present time, and to produce a new mixture of juice to drink, until it becomes a new blood runs in our veins, and grow in our bodies, and renew our minds and our souls.

The experiences of Arab Women in the West are manifold. They are experiences of challenge and of opportunities, of success and of heartbreaks.
What are those challenges and have Arab Women found success in the West and at what cost? Have Arab Women in Australia broken the Glass ceiling? Have they progressed up the management ladder? What has been their experience in their immigrant community and in the wider Australian society? Arab Women in the West will seek to address these questions and more.
