lomoto Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 I think we should get this guy over to run the country got it in a email .. What do you guys think??? Hi Mate, I like Aussies!! > >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 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.

I am not against immigration, nor do I >hold a grudge against anyone who is seeking a better life by coming to >Australia ."

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.

nixy Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 I saw this the other day - if you take the time to read it properly in context then a lot of it makes sense. If anyone (Brits included) wants to live in someone else's country then THEY should adapt to the ways of that country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonathan73 Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 What a guy. He's the man. Pity he's got zero interest in coming to Blighty! I particularly agree with his "Immigrants, not Australians, must adapt". I wish we could be the same. It's common sense - if you go live in another country you adopt their way of doing things. Heck I had to learn to spell everything differently and change my T's to D's in order to be understood. I also had to learn to overtake on the inside and then, pass as many people in the very last second before crossing all 6 lanes to leave the freeway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinmac Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Makes good sense, I have lived in many countries and have always HAD to conform to their rules. Bit too late over here I fear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickya Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Agree with almost all of it, except: "This idea of Australia being a multi-cultural community has served only to dilute our sovereignty and our national identity" -A bit backward/dangerous & 3rd Reich reminescent "This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR LIFESTYLE, and we will allow you -I think Aborigines may have something to say about that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nixy Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Mmm, fair point, the diluting bit sounds quite bad - but the general gist is spot on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zedrush Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 We need someone like him I cant understand the fact that if you are Christian you will be killed if you go to a Muslim country and try and open a church or preach, yet when they come here they rant and rave if they dont get their way and they tell us that if we have the british flag up we are told to take it down as its offensive to them, worst thing is during world cup down here we were banned from putting up the british flag as it was seen as offensive to Muslims Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 If anyone asked me to take down a Scottish flag, I think I'd punch them. I'm really not violent but it boils my blood that any 'settler' be it English, American or any other nationality could dictate MY patriotic actions in OUR country.

I'm really not violent but it boils my blood that any 'settler' be it English, American or any other nationality could dictate MY patriotic actions in OUR country. Tell me about it one guy refused in Greenwich and he got fined a £100 because he wouldnt take down his England Flag during World Cup, it was in the papers and he was Indian. Makes me sick, Im quater Indian but feel that I am English as this is where I was born and raised yet we have to hide our flag incase we upset visitors, what the F5ck is this country coming too, yet they go and bomb us anyway. I suggest we get a paedophile from prison, strap him with a bomb and then ignite it when terrorists campaign freely at speakers corner in Hyde park Give em some of their own medicine. Funnily enough its only the extremeist who detest against us putting up the flag and yet its always someone from their group that Bombs us because they feel that they will get to roger loads of virgins in the after life, cos they cant get laid in this life I have mates who are muslims and even they are pi**ed off with the extremists as they give them a bad name, not all muslims are the same, but they give em a bad name..

Stew Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 It's the stupid few. Let's face it, England football fans have a bad reputation as a few 'extremists' spoil it for everyone. Same principal really. The FA take action by banning them from travelling abroad and banning them from football grounds. What action does our government take against Muslim extremists? Ban them from public places? No. Ban them from recruiting impressionable Muslims? No. Throw them out the country? No. They seem to do nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 Bit too late over here I fear. Seconded, we are far too tolerant and "stiff upper lip" for our own good, but don't get me started on this stuff, lets talk about cars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
