What do you think of this?
Peter Costello, heir apparent to Prime Minister John Howard said:
"......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.
"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," he said. Separately, Howard angered some Australian Muslims on Wednesday by saying he supported spy agencies monitoring the nation's mosques.
In essense, he is asking all Muslims who do not believe in Australian Christian values can just get out.
What would you say to US, Canada, UK who are pussyfooting on this issue?
