Ishy welcomes your clarifications of Christianity, Australian culture and how the world began in our discussion forum and he always welcomes your questions and feedback.

IshyIshmihail bin Laden (Ishy) is originally from Afghanistan. He arrived in Australia about 120 years ago during one of the early gold rushes and made a living driving his camel team through the outback. He retired about forty years ago to Parramatta and has been continuing his quest to understand both Christian and Australian culture ever since — as well as the mystery of the spelchekke and how the world began!

We welcome your thoughts in response in our forum.
