Default Australia Got It Right

Australians got it right


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. 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 citizens
will
find the backbone to start speaking and voting the same truths!!

I'd really like to know what goes through the head of someone who reads
"SEND THIS TO EVERYBODY YOU KNOW" and actually does it.

Nothing. Nothing at all goes thru their heads, that's why they do it.
WTF is this group coming to when GI Joe, an action figure with an empty
plastic head has more common sense than many of its posting members.

Actually, Da Box is no better or no worse now than in the "Good Ole
Days". Sure a lot of really kewl Joeheads have gone, but a bunch of us
have stayed and have been joined by new and maybe improved Joeheads.
It just seems like it was way better back then. It was just different.

Besides, 99 percent of you guys/girls/Tank are just FNGs compared to
me!! ................................................ .........DUG
