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,
Rudd 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.'
