MaveriK Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Muslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia law were told recently to get out of Australia , as the government targeted radicals in a bid to head off potential terror attacks. John Howard (ex PM of Australia) struck a chord with this speech: - 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 that accepted YOU!'

Havard Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 I saw this a week ago and felt great once I'd read it. Hit the nail on the head..... Unfortunately we have no one in politics or government with the balls to say it!! H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Had that sent before, it's not entirely true. It's a bastardisation of an American rant and some comments made in e-mail by the Aussie PM apparently. http://www.snopes.com/rumors/thisisamerica.asp I couldn't possibly agree with it though for fear of being called a racist.

bigcol Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Unfortunately we have no one in politics or government with the balls to say it!! H. maggie had balls (probably) i agree totally Paul, this country, like most others, is too scared to stand up for itself because it is worried it might offend people, leaving itself wide open for the moneygrabbing tosspots of this world to sue for compensation etc etc reminds me of a song by the time capsules called should have listened to uncle enoch;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter richards Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 i can see his point and his concerns , but mr Aborigine said a similar speech 200 years ago but didn't get very far with it . aussies have persecuted the real natives of australia for years , now they feel the muslims are becoming a threat , thats the response . pot ,kettle and black springs to mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
