Want ! to move to Australia?? Too bad our great
leaders would not help
us by doing this too................
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 com e 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
pl anet. 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 YOUaccepted."
Maybe if we circulate this amongst ourselves,
American citizens will
find the BACKBONE to start speaking and voting the
same truths!!
