Stand behind your leaders.
I admired this:
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 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 that has Sharia law
or a theocratic state, then Australia is not for you", he said on national
television.
"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 who were born here, need to understand. The
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 or Arabic, Chinese,
Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you want 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 to take advantage of one other
great Australian freedom: THE RIGHT TO LEAVE.
If you are not happy here then LEAVE. We didn’t force you to come here.
You asked to be here. So accept the country YOU accepted.
"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
do 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" he said. Separately Howard angered some Australian
Muslims on Wednesday by saying he supported spy agencies monitoring the
nations mosques.

Well actually the only people that came on boats were the convicts. People fly these days Mr rip wan winkle if you've just woken up from your slumber. Haven't you heard of the stupendous success humans have had with flying. Probably not in your little town of wagga wagga you dumb twat. How long have you been on the dole? I think thats a feature unique to red necks like you. I haven't seen any muslims doing that and i'm not even a muslim. What did your grand father come to australia for? Probably stealing a pig, right!

in line with Ex-Muslim: David Hicks has been held in incarceration considering the fact that 2001 without trial. This fact on my own, by potential of any definition, is an entire injustice. to boot, David Hicks is an Australian citizen. it rather is magnificent that the Australian government would desire to desert one among its very own in such an insupportable subject. The Australian government has presented token help to the David Hicks and his kin. it rather is thoroughly objectionable. in line with the asker: The tone of your question is unacceptably conceited. Australia is an inclusive and tolerant united states of america. i'm not white. I wasn't even born in Australia. Do you fairly think of i might stay in a rustic that discriminates in accordance to race or tried to oppress religious minorities? in case you reside in Australia, you will desire to advance up and make a good contribution to this united states of america. in case you don’t, then what good do you will desire to decide us? All of this misdirected anger gets you nowhere, and works against the gracious and tolerant traditions of Islam. -- Edit -- regarding the Tampa incident: In 2001, we exercised our rights as a sovereign united states of america. In different words, we decide for who would desire to come into this united states of america and decrease than what circumstances they'd desire to return. The Tampa incident didn’t teach racism became into everyday in Australia. extremely, it confirmed that the Australian human beings refuse to inspire unlawful immigration. As you will desire to already understand, the Tampa refugees have been at last legally processed and have been allowed to stay. What I suggested earlier continues to be genuine. Australia is an inclusive and tolerant united states of america. countries like North Korea and Zimbabwe are the alternative.

I'm aussie too, but I think we Aussie majority don't support such views. I think we rather stick to our "giving a fair go & supporting the underdog " motto. The muslims should have chance to live here peacefully as long they are willing to cooperate & respect our society in return. All human should feel protected & free in our great democratic society.

The problem occurred during the previous Lebanese/Israel conflict. Over 300,000 were accepted into Australia under the UN refugee requirements without any security checks, so you know what we got. So blame the Liberal Govt. under Fraser for what we have. Multiculturism has never worked in any country in the world, it is in reality multiracism.
Remember not all Muslims are terrorists, just most terrorists are Muslims.
