“Get out if you want Sharia law," Australia tells Muslims………
CANBERRA: 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. A day after a group of mainstream Muslim leaders pledged loyalty to Australia at a special meeting with Prime Minister John Howard, he and his ministers made it clear that extremists would face a crackdown.

Treasurer Peter Costello, seen as heir apparent to Howard, hinted that some radical clerics could be asked to leave the country if they did not accept that Australia was a secular state and its laws were made by parliament. “If those are not your values, if you want a country which has Sharia law or a theocratic state, then Australia is not for you,” he said on national television. “I’d be saying to clerics who are teaching that there are two laws governing people in Australia, one the Australian law and another the Islamic law, that that is false.

If you can’t agree with parliamentary law, independent courts, democracy, and would prefer Sharia law and have the opportunity to go to another country which practices it, perhaps, then, that’s a better option,” Costello said. Asked whether he meant radical clerics would be forced to leave, he said those with dual citizenship could possibly be asked to move to the other country.

Education Minister Brendan Nelson later told reporters that Muslims who did not want to accept local values should “clear off”. “Basically, people who don’t want to be Australians, and they don’t want to live by Australian values and understand them, well then they can basically clear off,” he said. Separately, Howard angered some Australian Muslims on Wednesday by saying he supported spies monitoring the nation’s mosques.

How I'd love to see the Pres. stand up and declare that statement for America.
Way to go Australia. No wishy-washy mealymouthed sentiments being expressd down under. Shows just what they think of 'political correctness'.
They got it right.

Sounds good, it's too bad they still have gun control, not unlike Nazi Germany.

The Crown did have something of a problem with gun control at
Lexington and Concord, didn't they.

The thing is as this war goes on..... which it will for quite some time, this Aussie P.M. is going to stand out like Churchill in WWII.

He is very well spoken and seems to know a thing or two about telling the difference between a spade, and dull knife, how to describe them each as such.

We better wake up to our own problem. Notably, banks in Ann Arbor, Michigan that are looking at issuing mortgages based on Sharia Law. Where is the ACLU and the MSM on this. The silence is deafening.
