Rep Power: 50 | A country with the balls to speak out The Australians Got It Right Muslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia law were told on Wednesday toget out of Australia, as the government targeted radicals in a bid to headoff potential terror attacks. A day after a group of mainstream Muslim leaders pledged loyalty toAustralia and her Queen at a special meeting with Prime Minister JohnHoward, he and his Ministers made it clear that extremists would face acrackdown. Treasurer Peter Costello, seen as heir apparent to Howard, hinted that someradical clerics could be asked to leave the country if they did not acceptthat 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 ora theocratic state, then Australia is not for you", he said on nationaltelevision. "I'd be saying to clerics who are teaching that there are two laws governingpeople in Australia: one the Australian law and anotherthe 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 togo to another country, which practices it, perhaps, then, that's a betteroption", Costello said. Asked whether he meant radical clerics would be forced to leave, he saidthose with dual citizenship could possibly be asked to move to the othercountry. Education Minister Brendan Nelson later told reporters that Muslimswho did not want to accept local values should "clear off. Basically peoplewho don't want to be Australians, and who don't want to live by Australianvalues and understand them, well then, they can basically clear off", hesaid. Separately, Howard angered some Australian Muslims on Wednesday by saying hesupported spy agencies monitoring the nation's mosques Quote: "IMMIGRANTS,NOT AUSTRALIANS, MUST ADAPT. Take It Or Leave It. I am tired of this nationworrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture.Since the terrorist attacks on Bali, we have experienced a surge inpatriotism by the majority of Australians." "However, the dust from the attacks had barely settled when the 'politicallycorrect' crowd began complaining about the possibility that our patriotismwas offending others. I am not against immigration, nor do I hold a grudgeagainst anyone who is seeking a better life by coming to Australia.However, there are a few things that those who have recently come to ourcountry, and apparently some born here, need to understand.This idea of Australia being a multicultural community has served only to dilute oursovereignty and our national identity. As Australians, we have our ownculture, our own society, our own language and our own lifestyle.Thisculture has been developed over two centuries of struggles, trials andvictories 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 oursociety, 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 Christianprinciples, founded this nation, and this is clearly documented. It iscertainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools. If Godoffends you, then I suggest you consider anotherpart 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 thatyou 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 youshould seriously consider a move to another part of this planet. We arehappy 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 yourculture, but do not force it on others. "This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR LIFESTYLE, and we will allow youevery opportunity to enjoy all this. But once you are done complaining,whining, and griping about Our Flag, Our Pledge, Our Christian beliefs, orOur Way of Life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other greatAustralian freedom, 'THE RIGHT TO LEAVE'." "If you aren't happy here then LEAVE. We didn't force you to come here. Youasked to be here. So accept the country that accepted YOU."

Rep Power: 52 | Re: A country with the balls to speak out It is time for everyone to wake up and realize that Islam is NOT the religion of peace but a group of subversive people determined to undermine all democratic governments by violence and terror. In short, with Islam, it is do as I say or die! The Koran actually justifies the Muslims by stating that it is their duty to kill all infidels...that is you and I BTY! I agree with Australia's response and believe that it is time for the non-Islamic world to band together to state a simple clear message; Stop attacking what we hold dear or be prepared to die! This means the terrorists and their families. We should show them the same level of care and compassion that they showed over 3500 Americans in the 9/11 attacks. One more point to ponder. Why is it that out of 34 conflicts in the world today, 31 involve ISLAM? It is time for us to stop the dangerous practice of political correctness and to attack the problem and end the plague of Islamic Fundamentalism for once and for all. Want to go see Allah...I am happy to help you find your way!.....Plus their women have lousy *******.
