muslims told to get out !

[Guest 2HOW]

America Needs A Leader Like This!

Prime Minister John Howard - 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.

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.'

'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.'

'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.

The United States of America needs quit trying not to offend people and give them the boot too!!!

[strickj]

Reminds my of Hitler every time I see something like this! If your not like me then change,or leave.

Not everyone is the same,or believes the same.Trying to force that has caused wars through out history.

But I guess Christians are just better then anybody else! No need for any others

[jughead]

it is time this happened in the USA

[Mark@Sea]

Strickj, multiculturalism is a social disease. I'm not quite sure how "live under our laws in our country" equates to Christians persecuting others, or to Hitler, fascism, and genocide, but I can't wait to hear your reasoning here. Really.

I guess you missed the part where it said they would accept other's beliefs, no questions asked. RIF.

Yeah,right after like it or leave

[strickj]

Clarifying;

That said that if your not Christian,then your not welcome.Yes I saw where it said "they'll accept others" also,but its the whole mentality people seem to have where they want to be let be,and let others be,as long as those others are like them.If your not like them then the hell with you.Its bigotry!

I didn't read anything in that about "our laws".All I read was about Christian beliefs in our schools,and your right to leave after you are done complaining.

Please point out where it said anything about laws.

[G27]

Yeah,right after like it or leave

Exactly. IOW, (I'm assuming you don't keep up with world events), Australia is not going to change their culture and way of life to make the Muslims happy like the Muslims have demanded in virtually every European country they've moved into.

It's not about who they pray to every day, it's simply recognizing that the cultures are very different and while they are welcome there, they best not expect Australian culture to change to accommodate their beliefs.

What, exactly, is wrong with this?

I dont think you see what this is really about.Let me pull out out:

The USA Constitution says that there shall be NO RELIGIOUS TEST to hold any official position in the USA government. You can be an atheist, a Christian, a Jew or a Muslim, or whatever.

The problem comes when people of whatever stripe start making nuisances of themselves. I am totally against Islam. It is a crummy religion. But I will defend your right to be a Muslim, as long as you honor my right to be a Christian. Those who offer religious freedom have a right to get the same treatment back at them. It is people who have trouble with our Constitution that ought to get kicked out of the country, whatever religion they may be.

You don't see how this is about people tired of changing their culture for others? Seriously? You really think this is about religion?

I'd suggest reading some foreign news now and then - a world-view of what has been demanded in other countries where Muslims have moved en masse might change your outlook on what this is about. Not to mention that if you read up on this statement (which is a year and a half old) you'd find there is lots of commentary mirroring what I said here. This is old news and was intended just as I read it (as I had read it before) - your knee-jerk reaction to a small section of it isn't doing it justice.

Frankly, this country, while not be founded 'by Christians' is predominantly Christian and it would take some fundamental changes in our way of life (especially in little ways that I would never have considered had I not followed what's happening in England and most other European countries) to make most Muslims happy living here. Judging by their actions in other countries, they are very vocal about getting their way, and the PM of Australia is making the point that, while they are welcome, they should not expect the Australian people's way of life to change to accomodate them.

Well said.

Add to that that no where in the Constitution (neither our nor Australia's) is one guaranteed that the culture of the country will be changed to mirror one's views...

First you have no idea of what my education level is,so dont bring up the "lean me some good speech"

Second,how many times is religion stated in this?

[G27]

Umm, I have no idea where this is coming from.

You know what? Never mind. You've obviously made your mind up and refuse to do ANY research regarding this (and other) statements made by the PM of Australia referencing their desire to keep their culture intact. No point in discussing it further since you are unwilling to actually read what the man has said over and over again in many different ways.

Have fun.

[Guest bkelm18]

This really isn't about religion. It's uses religion to get the point across, but its about not wanting to lose their sense of Australian nationality and pride just because someone gets offended.

This hasn't become a viral email because of Aus culture. This has become popular because Americans not wanting to lose Americana.

The first,and last statement in this states it clearly(its highlighted in red).The rest is just filler to make a point.

America is Christian,American is english speaking.America needs Christian teachings in schools.If you dont follow this,then leave.

[PackinMama]

How I wish America's leaders had the backbone stand up and say that!!!

Can anyone say Sarah Palin?

Good Strick, you got it. Good.

This is mostly accurate but is old news (is there such a thing?) and combines a couple of events.

Always check Snopes, even when an email says they have verified something.

And it is this way only by popular majority...NOT by constitutional edict. There is a very distinct difference on what "works" and what is "legal"

If any elected official in the USA made a public statement like that Aussie they would be swiftly written off (rightly so) as anti-American.
