[Prime Minister John Howard - Australia ]




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.


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, as we have never seen before.'


'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, then you have no choice but to learn 'our' 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.'


'This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR LIFESTYLE, and we will allow you every opportunity to enjoy all this. But once you are finished 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 citizens will find the backbone to start speaking and voicing the same truths.

and they should add or get out of the kitchen if too hot

MBD.... My understanding is that Australia was not founded as a place of religious freedoms, but rather a dumping ground for criminals and undesirables (originally). Not fact, just what I recall.

They certainly got their act together and can what they please. I'm not sure you can compare what you are saying their stance is with the USA, but your point is taken. I am simply suggesting people come here for the right to celebrate their religion in any way they like, and we say we will tolerate it and accept it. That is our motto...

Do we all have to quote this, really???

politically correctness is so yesterday

What does what I said have ANYTHING to do with going to a muslim country? WTH???

DUMP EVERYBODY IN AUSTRALIA!!!

I seem to think this was to be the melting pot
It has not and has become polarized
That was not the intention.
Australia initially was the dumping ground but very quickly became a commonwealth because UK was clever enough to see which side of the toast was buttered.
It is right what it is being said
England is not what it used to be
Holland is not what it used to be
Germany is because they don't let that happen
France is not what it used to be
enough said
I like the live and let leave attitude but when the other side has to burn houses for the sake of a cartoon I soon become polarized and happy to promote Knights Templars

to see how you would be treated as a foreigner and how you need to conform

Robert if you are quoting me then please insert it into quotes.

I have nothing further to say, I see no point.

OK I normally don't do religion and politics somehow I got drawn into it I guess UK Australia was the cause
Hope we are friends though with different opinions

Please insert my words into quotes.... or delete them from your post.

Thank you.

I hope you are happier in a debate issues should not be taken personally

if emotions come to debates it spoils it
I did that and if you notice I put the word quote there to avoid long repetitions
I hope you don't loose friendship over a debate
That would be unfortunate

once again

NOOOOOO, go to your post where my words are not in quotes, please. Insert them in quotes or delete my words from your post.

Why is this so hard?

That would not be possible this is what happened whether I was right or wrong it stays that way I accepted your call and reported it as you wished

I got it in an email copied it and pasted it. I thought it read cool but to be honest I don't know a lot about Australia.
