Three Cheers for Australia!
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 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 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 nation's mosques.
AMERICA and Canada..... ARE YOU LISTENING?
Australia - The Right to Leave Our Country - YOU Have the right
..the right to leave!
After Sydney not wanting to offend other cultures by putting up
Christmas lights. After hearing that the State of South Australia
changed its opinion, and let a Muslim woman have her picture
on her driver's license, with her face covered. This prompted this editorial written by an Australian citizen. Published in an Australian newspaper.

"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. 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 LIBERTY 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."
Will you pass this on? Pretty easy really, when you think about it. I figure if we
all keep passing this to our friends, it will sooner or later get back
to the complainers, lets all try, please. Copy and paste it, send it to your friends, neighbors, enemies, congressman, post it on your own websites. BE MY GUEST, just spread it.
Now if you take this and replace Australia with the United States throughout the message, it is the same here. But it's not just the Muslims. It's every immigrant that comes here and with the illegal immigrant status and problems we are seeing today, I think allot of them out to just clear off.
