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,British citizens will find the backbone to start speaking and voicing the same truths.

I think a fair number of british citizens already do, including some black friends of mine. I also know of several muslims looking to emigrate because they don't like it here, to Australia of all places ;)

Sadly, any "backbone" will have to start with the main stream politicians rather than the public. Me? I think it's time to pay my aussie relatives a long visit, if only for the warmer climate :D
 
Sounds like fair dinkum to me :thumbs:
 
Such a thing in Britain would be inciting racial hatred unfortunately - PC means you can no longer say things like that.

On a side note I consider myself to be part of the most discriminated sector of society - a straight, white, middle class, able bodied male - the reason I am discriminated against? I am part of the only members of society who can be discriminated against or abused and not have laws protecting me or societies pledging to defend me if people do victimise me

Sounds like my sort of country .... :thumbs:
 
Not strictly true though, according to Snopes that version is an amalgum of quotes from different sources meant to look like John Howard said it in a speech.

As mentioned by someone else here, this is a country i'm quickly becoming one i'm stuck with living in, rather than one i want to live in.

I make you right on that.
 
' 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!'

Admire the no-nonsense approach, although I do find it mildly amusing given that the first human inhabitants of the Australian continent were actually aboriginal people rather than those decending from more recent Dutch and British settlers / prisoners!

Makes him more than a little hypocritical - maybe Howard should start promoting belief in aboriginal mythology & learn to play the didgeridoo! ;)

Couldn't agree with that more. There are courses where I work (in the police service) in leadership and management that are available to people from ethnic minorities, women, disabled people, and gay/bi/lesbian/transgender people. The only people who are not allowed on these courses are straight, white, able-bodied men. If that isn't discrimination I don't know what is.

And I totally agree with the OP's post from John Howard. They do seem to have the right attitude in Oz don't they?

I cannot see how the original post is creating racial hatred at all.

I have been saying for a long time that having things specifically for one type of person, be they of a different religion, sex, language, whatever discriminates against everyone else so all these discrimination laws are a total waste of time and money because they do exactly what they are supposed to prevent
 
<------waiting patiently for KayJay to come along and say how unfair that all is :naughty:

Give him a chance .... Might be at a march or something ... :D

Oi!

I've got nothing to say on this :razz:

But what happened to the whole no politics, race or religious threads on TP? I remember getting a few of my threads closed. How's that for discrimination? :D

Our main stream politicians will never have any backbone over these issues - it's time for the public to vent their views and be more outspoken on this most serious issue.

You sure those were spots on your 5D images, not tear stains? :lol:

Oh aye, the Glaswegians really showing now :razz:. Kicking a dude when he's down.:sulk:

indeed. normal stuff to argue about is fine, but serious stuff has no place here

I said in a previous thread, these ones either go on fire or tend to descend in people taking the **** out of each other. The later is the best way :)
 
What have I missed? I only went away to see if Shami Chakrabarti was going to explode on Question Time :lol:

By "explode" I mean with rage, before anyone jumps to the wrong conclusions :shake:
