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, PM Howard angered some Australian Muslims on Wednesday by saying he supported spy agencies monitoring the nation's mosques.
His 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. I support that surge and will not let the majority of my people down. I will not stand idly or 'politically correct' by while groups within my country plan our demise'
' 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 whether they be Christian or Jew; Muslim, Shintu or Hindu. This idea is not some right wing, political push, but a fact, because Australian men and women, on basic principles, founded this to be a nation 'under God', and this is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools so we can teach our children the ways of our forefathers. 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 fly our flag and speak of God proudly. We do not cower in back rooms or basements planning to injure or kill those who do'
' 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 Religious beliefs, or Our Way of Life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great Australian freedom, ' THE RIGHT TO LEAVE.
' We accept and encourage dissention but abhor and will not allow radicalism and terrorism'
' 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.'
