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.

Awesome. He couldnt have put it any better

Seems a bit irresponsible.

Might be fine if we talking about secular musims who wish to live in their own laws in other countries and not feel they are subject to those laws.

But what about the Australian non christians? ANd IM talking born and bread citizens of that country!

This would never happen in America - I think it is definitely a harsh tone but with Obama coming in I believe there will be at least an attempt to reconcile differences with the Middle East in a more civil way and hopefully the Middle East will listen - but I have my doubt about them holding up their end.

If you will come to Islamic country and try to live you live by tradition of your religion or country you will be lucky to stay alive.
Why they should come to us and have rights to disregard our traditions and try to harm us in any possible way using freedoms we have?
I would say f...ck them and let them go home or find some other idiots, who like our Liberals, will allow them to sit on their head.

arkrud,

There's a few things wrong with this post.

1. John Howard is not even the Prime Minister of Australia anymore! He was voted out because he's a xenophobic racist asshole. So I don't even know where you dug this statement up from.

2. Most importantly this isn't their country. The Europeans stole the Australian territory from the indigenous populations that had inhabited Australia for over 40,000 years before the British after stepped foot on Australian land.

3. Are you immigrant or are your parents immigrants? What if one day the American government passed legislation to deport and ban all immigrants from your native country? It's not so cool when your on the wrong side of these issues.

I'm all for immigration reform; just not reform that is based in bigotry.

I don't care who Howard is now but I like what he sad in this particular case.
I am not talking about immigration reform and immigrants. I am talking about people who come to other country and instead of adapting the laws, culture, and way of life are insisting that it is wrong and must be change to their liking.
Why they are coming to more developed society? Because they want to use the advantages of more prosperous and safe life. And this is OK. But then do not hate on it.
If somebody want to warship their religion and proclaim all other people animals, have 5 wife’s, ability to stone people because they are not morally clean or kill his daughter because she get along with man from other nation fine. Go home and do whatever hell you want.
I think it is fair and we also should stay away from this countries and let them live their miserable life as long as they want.
