Should the politically correct U.S. and Britain take a leaf out of Australia's book?

Question

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."

Answer 1

Sounds like a good idea to me.Screw P/C and those who support it!

Answer 2

Absolutely!! A while ago, some idiot decided that singing of Christmas Carols by school children should be stopped in schools for fear of offending the religions that dont celebrate christmas?? We hardly see a May Pole anymore, i mean, helloooooooooooooo?? I have only lived in England since 2003 (I did come from a british commonwealth country) but I have had to and actually chose to adapt to living here, why cant other people do the same?? Basically, the government here is so scared of being seen to be unpolitically correct to the detriment of the proper born and bred english people. It's not on!! When in Rome etc. No doubt, some one who reads this will have a knock at me, but I am actually in agreement with Australia, but I dont care because I have chosen to live in England as a regular Brit so......

Answer 3

Yes each government and parliament of a country has the right to make a secular laws and regulations for the sake of their own the majority of the people.The value of laws and regulations depends on the value of the members of government and parliament.In Australia I read on a magazine that Islamic religion grew faster than any other religion in that country.By the recent law that prohibites the Islamic followers to practice their syariah (Islamic teaching) in their dayly life.it will force muslims to migrate to other country.This rule makes a negative effect es
pecially to a carrer muslimah(islamic women) because they could not wear a close clothes or veils when they go out.They should drop their career and live only at home caring their husbands and children. if they want to continue living in Australia..Muhammad prophet told in hadith that all good muslims should obey the rulers.If they do not want to comply for it,they should move to other country which has a better laws and regulations for muslims.The government of Australia is very afraid to terrorists that they claimed they are muslims.This fear or anxiety is not so strong,because most muslims are no terrorist.But they could not control it properly..Is that laws against with the human rights ?

Answer 4

I tottally AGREE with you :P here we get all the Arab's comming over not even bothing to get job's and just live of the state, we had a TV show here that showed how much richer the govermnet would be if you sent all the arab's into Exile but crounty's are too scared to if you start telling all arabs one thing they will get the "HUMP" (or somthing like this) and if they do come here / to get a better life they should ALL be made to work why should Tax payer's pay for all imigrant's to sit at home and do nothing? getting money for free ? and I 100% agree with the last state ment I think no Arab's or imigrant's should be allowed citizen ship it's one thing living in another crounty but it's another not to work getting money from the goverment and then complaninging If it was up to me I would get all the crounty's like U.S.A, U.K, Germany. Austraila (not France) and start a HUGE war with all the crounty's that have terrisom, and the WHOLE world should be made to learn English, It's SO universial that they are lazy if they are not made

Answer 5

Yes that sounds like a great plan,I say yes,I admire their courage to do whats right not whats correct.

If you didn't read the post then you shouldn't have answered .That's ignorant.She posted information not an opinion .Try not to be "first" and perhaps you would learn something from reading.

Answer 6

EXCELLENT!!! I'm sick of the whole "Politically correct" crap. The U.S. needs to do the same and if people have a problem with that, then they can find another country. They can go live in Iraq.

Answer 7

'But weren't the Aborigines there first? All Australians are immigrants'

Hehe, sound familiar? Actually, I do wish the US would start growing a pair of balls and representing the desires of the majority instead of surrendering to the demands of some loudmouth radical idiots.

Answer 8

My main concern is for these people who immigrate to countries that have a completely opposite outlook on life, religion, etc. Why would you move to a country like that?

Answer 9

Sc*rew political correctness!!!!! That's one of the reasons this country is in such a MESS today!!!!!!
TOO BAD we don't have leaders in the U.S. that has the GUTS to do something like this!!!!

Answer 10

DAM DON'T KNOW WHO THIS GUY IS .BUT I FOR ONE WISH THE USA WOULD DO THE SAME HERE .SOUND LIKE A GOOD LAW FOR AUSTRALIAN
