Default What Australia thinks

Well this was sent to me and is rather interesting hope you all think so as well.


Debate in Australia .. True, and can be checked
at:
http://www.snopes.com/politics/religion/australia.asp
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 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 s
urge 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 under-
stand." "This idea of Australia being a multi-cultural
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, American citizens
will find the backbone to start speaking and voicing the same
truths !
If you agree please SEND THIS ON!

Here's what i think Australia should do :

Force out the lebanese teenagers/early20's out of Australia. They are costing too many lives each day. They are either causing trouble or killing other innocent people. If they behave under the law and do not drink and drive and kill innocent people than let them stay. (This is not racism it's the fact)

Next, the afghan's. When i was at my local library on tuesday, i saw a afghan teen being forced out of the library for misbehaving and being rude to everyone. He was forced out but acted "G-star" but eventually was still forced out. I think these people should also be forced out of the country. (Again, not racismn only fact)

I know a few Muslims, who fortunately, aren't horrible suicide-bombing terrorists.

I agree with the report, if they can't live by our rules and laws then they can just **** off.
