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."

I would really appreciate some statistics on this. I keep arguing with my bro who says that a million people died a year under Sadam Hussain and that the situation is better now. I say it is worse now and hundreds of people are dying every week. Is he right that a million people died in one year. I am a pacifist. He thinks we should have got UN permission to go to war but that intervening by going to war was appropriate.

When we first came to this side of the world, who was here first? Whose life style did we ruin? Whose land did we steal? How many times did we say that these people can have a chunk of land to theirselves; only to steal it away from them....Again? I am talking about the Native Americans. We just barged right in, and settled in like we owned the place. Isn't that what we are claiming that some Mexicans are doing...Stealing our land and way of life? By the way, didn't we steal some land from the Mexicans? I'm sure you remember the Mexican War.

One more thing, Mexicans who come here illegally don't steal the jobs that anyone wants. I highly doubt that an illegal Mexican can become a Chief Execative of a big company. Some how I doubt places like McDonlds, Pizza Hut, Disney World, ETC are hireing Mexicans who came here illegally. What do they do? They either do jobs where you can easily pay them "under the counter"....Some unfortunate people are working in jobs that are illegal.....Sweat shops/prostitution/etc. Unless you woke up and decided you wanted these jobs, us legal citizens are not missing out on anything. If you just quit bitching and get off ur fatass, you would have already known that.

They compalin how we treat prisoners. Yet, none of them complained about how our soldiers were beheaded. They say we need to give them rights, yet they are blowin us up. "They are just defending there country". No, there not, they are trying to take over the world and kill us. "Are we safer, are we safer." Well, if you try to stop the monitering of terroist activites, we won't be. They call it a "domestic spying" program. "Its unconstentotional". So letting them go around and plot to kill us is ok? The only agenda they have is to disagree with Bush. That is it. They don't car if we all are killed or turned into Muslims, as long as they are disagreeing with Bush, they are happy.

The term ( Keystone Cops ) has since come to be used to criticize any group for its mistakes, particularly if the mistakes happened after a great deal of energy and activity, or if there was a lack of coordination among the members of the group. For example, the attack on Iraq to bring freedom to that country. Here it is 2006 and the USA military is getting a butt whipping by a group of rag tag men with basic weapons. The USA military looks silly as hell. The writing is on the walls so to say. The USA will go down in defeat. Shame is coming like the shame in Vietnam.

Plot Summary for
Munich (2005)
During the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich, eleven Israeli athletes are taken hostage and murdered by a Palestinian terrorist group known as Black September. In retaliation, the Israeli government recruits a group of Mossad agents to track down and execute those responsible for the attack.
Do you think what they (recruiters or Mossad) did was right morally?

I'm a recent law graduate (but not in the top of my class) and am taking the bar in February. However, I can't seem to find a job as a law clerk anywhere! Everyone wants an experienced paralegal or a licensed attorney. What's worse, I've tried getting non-law-related jobs through temp agencies and am getting too many turn-downs for the decent jobs because I'm "overly-qualified." Also, the same agencies won't place me in a clerking position because I haven't worked in a law office before. Is there any way out of this horrible predicament?

He said Democrats "continue to use the committee to try and rewrite history, insisting that they were deliberately duped into supporting the overthrow of Saddam Hussein's regime."

Are Democrats being dishonest and trying to rewrite history?

Ok, supposing our Government made a huge conspiracy to kill thousands of americans,and force everyone to believe we were under attack.

The first person to outright post this on the internet. IS STILL ALIVE.. if our government,being so harsh as to kill thousands of innocent people and many more thereafter. Why would they not kill this one person and disable the website. in seconds after it was posted.

But this country secretly wants an underground movement to form, proving these facts. and showing everyone what a horrible thing they are.

Then theyd have to keep the THOUSANDS of workers that went into setting up this bomb. and huge conspiracy to not talk. along with thousands more. all to wage war on Afghanistan * not iraq * iraq was YEARS AFTER.

Bush cant read a cue card much less keep a conspiracy quiet.

Who cares if it was or wasn't terrorists.
It sure as hell wasn't our own government..

So why do y'all insist on there being a government conspiracy?

Regarding a new border security package the House intends to float next week:

Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas suggested "that if House Republicans get their border security package they may be unwilling to go any further. "If you get your dessert and you don't have to eat your vegetables first, who's going to eat their vegetables?" he said Wednesday."

Still, he said he'd vote for it if that was the only package he could get this year.

What do you think?
