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. And 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."

Maybe if we circulate this amongst ourselves, Canadian, American
and European citizens will find the backbone
to start speaking and voting the same truths!!

I AGREE 100%

As long as Quebec and Ontario hold the balance of power this country will never have the balls to lay it down like that. First step is to ban tofu and hummis. only then can we lay the law down.

Thank you for the post
I agree with Mr. Howard and the Sirs of Aussie 100%. Maybe if we turn our country over to the rednecks in the west they will be able to help us out. Do you think they know what Hummus is?

[bob sacamano]

To a redneck? well hummus is when you grind kraft dinner and make it a dip.

Typical propaganda email BS. The first part is real quotes, they follow it up by quoting every thing else to try and give the authors ideas some authority.

I'd seriously love to meet some of the weenies that write this garbage, both the ultra left and ultra right wing stuff.

Right, we don't even need corn. We can all survive on a nutrient paste tube fed to our digestive tract.

Keep your f-in smushed garbanzo beans and your corn unless it is in my nutrient paste.............

Ironic, hey? They start off railing against Islam and sharia law, and end by going on about the supremacy of God and Christian principles. Sounds like they don't mind living in a theocracy after all...I was under the general impression that a secular state, with no 'state religion' was better for all of us.

That being said, I have no patience for those amongst us who do want to implement religious law - as Springbok used to say: fit in, or fu(k off.. Incidentally, a group tried to implement Sharia law in Ontario a few years ago - unsuccessfully.
