- Prime Minister Kevin Rudd - Australia
-
-
- Excerpt from a speech of March 15, 2009
-
- 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."
