Answer 1

"Majority of us aussie believe in giving a fair go for all people & supporting the underdog." yeah right mate.

******************************
EDIT
I just read your profile

its 'SHE'LL be right mate" or 'SHE's right mate'

Answer 2

We know that all Aussie's don't support this man, just like we believe that you know that all Muslims don't support Bin Laden. We appreciate the fact that you spoke up for us though. In these days where is seems every Non-Muslim is busy Muslim bashing and saying that we are evil, it is nice to hear your support.

Answer 3

people with no self-respect, never tend to respect others.

enuff said.

EDIT: i read what PKDEPP wrote -- some of it was appealing while some of the speech was total crap. i mean there are many aussies living here in my Budhhist country. do they learn mandarin before they come here?. or u should see the ausssie women whine about our women. whiners and people with no respect for others and their religion, have no place in our countries too. well may be we should ask our Govts to also be as strict as like the aussie -- if they need to whine then not in our lands.

Answer 4

i'm not a Aussie i'm an American and i may be able to explain this a bit. 2 years ago a man in a car that was just like mine killed a police office. i got stopped by the police 25 times in 3 days, and at 4:30 in the morning they raided my home with guns pulled. that was it i was very upset so i went to the police station and told them and do you want to know what they said? "it's unfortunate that this happened but lets say your child came up missing and was last seen in a blue Honda. you would want us to pull every person with a blue Honda over wouldn't you?

Answer 5

muslims are just people like any other people out there. the only difference is their beliefs and since we live in a free country and value freedom. muslims are also entitled to their beliefs.
it's part of the freedom package.
if you don't like what I said, that means you are not patriotic to your country because you don't like your country values (freedom!).

Again there is no perfect religion, and then why should we judge each other? for all I know we are all sinners. Isn't Jesus christ forgiving for all sins! if not that means you don't value your religion either.

if you are not patriotic and not religious then who are you? why bother judge others and who is the evil one?

Answer 6

We, as people should not be judges of others, least we be judged. For through my observations, WE People are just that PEOPLE/ HUMAN made to error, so as to learn rights from wrongs. Each Race has its' murderer, rapist, thief, drug addict, religion, outlook, and opinion. We as people can only control our own destination and chooses. Some are wiser and more cautious then others, but we are all here to learn. To destroy destruction, we need to feel, express and show LOVE to all people. (It can be harder to hurt someone that is good then it is to some that is already hurting.

Answer 7

We in the US know what its like to be overwhelmed with people from other countries.I am guilty of verbally lashing out myself.But as far as Muslims go A Person who would kill an innocent person is evil not religious.One who only wants to practice their faith and be non violent is welcome in my home anytime.

Answer 8

I just loved hearing 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.

Answer 9

Spend a tour in Iraq and watch your best friend die from a roadside bomb in his truck, and hear Muslims chanting "die America", and let's see how you think after that.

Answer 10

I thought he spoke for all nationals of this world.
