Australia's Stance

Three Cheers for 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.

A day after a group of mainstream Muslim leaders pledged loyalty to Australia at a special meeting with Prime Minister John Howard, he and his ministers made it clear that extremists would face a crack down.

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 another 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 they don’t want to live by Australian values and understand them, well then they can basically clear off."

Separately, Howard angered some Australian Muslims on Wednesday by saying he supported spy agency’s monitoring the nation’s mosques.

America, Britain and Canada………are you listening?

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 multi cultural 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, lean 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 to 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.

Pretty easy really, when you think about it. I figure if we all keep passing this to our friends (and enemies) it will also, sooner or later get back to the complainers,, lets all try, please

PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO EVERYONE, PERHAPS WE CAN CREATE A GROUND SWELL.

I think the world is wise to the fact that at moment there is massive polarisation between Islam and the West, and all these wars being fought at present adding to the division and bridge extension.

Islamaphobia is a serious factor and affects the vast majority of peaceful , integrated muslims who live the world over and who have no wish to live under sharia laws.

Majority of Muslims are peace loving , not every muslim is a radical or a terrorist or a fundamental

Sorry since when did chit-chat have to relate to refrigeration ?

Also does not chit-chat refer to conversation in general and not a limited range of subjects ?

Yay , good one , like it or leave .

Aussies dont mince words , there's too much political correctness and the minority are getting away with too much .
Kids today can't go for a walk on there own because of the nutters and the nutters know they can get away with being nutters . The reality is they should be too scared to offend.

String em up .
