[quote]Muslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia law were told on Wednesday
to get out of Australia, as the government targeted radicals in a bid to head off
potential terror attacks. A day after a group of mainstream Muslim leaders
pledged loyalty to Australia and her Queen at a special meeting with Prime
Minister John Howard, he and his Ministers made it clear that extremists
would face a crackdown
Treasurer Peter Costello, seen as heir apparent to Howard, hinted that some
radical clerics could be asked to leave the country if they did not accept that
Australia was a secular state, and its laws were made by parliament. “If those
are not your values, if you want a country which has Sharia law or a theocratic
state, then Australia is not for you”, he said on national television.
“I’d be saying to clerics who are teaching that there are two laws governing
people in Australia: one the Australian law and another the Islamic law, that is
false. If you can’t agree with parliamentary law, independent courts, democracy,
and would prefer Sharia law and have the opportunity to go to another country,
which practices it, perhaps, then, that’s a better option”, Costello said.
Asked whether he meant radical clerics would be forced to leave, he said those
with dual citizenship could possibly be asked to move to the other country.
Education Minister Brendan Nelson later told reporters that Muslims who did not
want to accept local values should “clear off. Basically people who don’t want to
be Australians, and who don’t want to live by Australian values and understand
them, well then, they can basically clear off”, he said.
Separately, Howard angered some Australian Muslims on Wednesday by saying
he supported spy agencies monitoring the nation’s mosques Quote: “IMMIGRANTS,
NOT AUSTRALIANS, MUST ADAPT. Take It Or Leave It. I am tired of this nation
worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture. Since
the terrorist attacks on Bali, we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the
majority of Australians.” "However, the dust from the attacks had barely settled
when the ‘politically correct’ crowd began complaining about the possibility that
our patriotism was offending others. I am not against immigration, nor do I hold
a grudge against anyone who is seeking a better life by coming to Australia.
“However, there are a few things that those who have recently come to our country,
and apparently some born here, need to understand.” “This idea of Australia being
a multicultural community has served only to dilute our sovereignty and our national
identity. As Australians, we have our own culture, our own society, our own
language and our own lifestyle.” “This culture has been developed over two
centuries of struggles, trials and victories by millions of men and women who have
sought freedom”
“We speak mainly ENGLISH, not Spanish, Lebanese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese,
Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society,
Learn the language!”
“Most Australians believe in God. This is not some Christian, right wing, political
push, but a fact, because Christian men and women, on Christian principles,
founded this nation, and this is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to
display it on the walls of our schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you
consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our
culture.”
“We will accept your beliefs, and will not question why. All we ask is that you
accept ours, and live in harmony and peaceful enjoyment with us.”
“If the Southern Cross offends you, or you don’t like " A Fair Go”, then you should
seriously consider a move to another part of this planet. We are happy with our
culture and have no desire to change, and we really don’t care how you did things
where you came from. By all means, keep your culture, but do not force it on others.
“This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR LIFESTYLE, and we will allow
you every opportunity to enjoy all this. But once you are done complaining, whining,
and griping about Our Flag, Our Pledge, Our Christian beliefs, or Our Way of Life,
I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great Australian freedom,
‘THE RIGHT TO LEAVE’.”
“If you aren’t happy here then LEAVE. We didn’t force you to come here. You asked
to be here. So accept the country YOU accepted.”

Maybe if we circulate this amongst ourselves, American and British citizens will find
the backbone to start speaking and voting the same truths!!
