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.
GOD BLESS HIM
ReplyDeleteAMEN! This is the man we need as our president.
ReplyDeleteThis is a politician that I can respect. I agree with his message and wish that we had a few state and national political leaders that had the courage and belief to stand for the same things here.
ReplyDeleteYes we do!
ReplyDeleteYou've got to like this no matter what side of the political fence you lean on. Must not be an ACLU in Australia.
ReplyDeletePoliticians in this country don't have the backbone for this type of leadership. They are to afraid of what Hollywood might think.
ReplyDeleteNot sure of your source but John Howard is NOT Australia's leader anymore. He lost to a leftist more than a year ago, I'm sorry to say. If he had won, I may be hiring a realtor in Australia and looking for a job there now.
ReplyDeleteThis is not Austrailia. This is America...a country built on the idea of freedom of religion. As well, America has been a country that has always been a "melting pot". I find it ironic that people have no problem with our military policing the rest of the world with no respect for borders (or beliefs) and yet you want to close OUR borders off to everyone else. If you like Mr. Howard so much, I will give you a ride to BWI so you can take a one way trip to Australia.
ReplyDeletelets make him some documents that say he was born here and make him the next president. No one here would have the guts to stand up like this.
ReplyDeletedamn im moving to australia.
ReplyDeleteyou think obama will support spying on the muslims in this country?
Funny how everyone patting him on the back forgets that Australia was not a land founded by Christian men and woman, but was in fact originally populated by the indigenous Aboriginal tribes.
ReplyDeleteThat's real leadership unafraid.

You actually typed this? Obviously without thought to what you were saying. Who populated this country before your people arrived? Please, enlighten us.
Can we "PLEASE" get this man to come over to the US.

ReplyDelete"Funny how everyone patting him on the back forgets that Australia was not a land founded by Christian men and woman, but was in fact originally populated by the indigenous Aboriginal tribes."
Now let's change just a few words....
...America was not a land founded by Christian men and woman, but was in fact originally populated by the indigenous Native American tribes.
What contrast are you trying to make?
Same situation guy. You should really think about things before you submit something like this.
10:54 When I'm ready, I'll be more then happy to take your ride. America is a joke and people are leaving this country and not looking back.
ReplyDeleteThanks to George Bush
To everyone,
ReplyDeleteThis man isn't prime minister any longer. His conservative party lost control of Parliament to the liberal labor party. I guess Australians didn't really like Mr. Howard's message.
10:54 Don't let the door hit you in the A$$ on your way out!
