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, Gillard angered some Australian Muslims on Wednesday by saying she 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.’
Good job madame …(Written By Brigitte Gabriel: Silence Speech)
This is WHAT the USA needs to DO ... good for your nation standing up against those that refuse to conform.

I wish the U.S. would do it.
DeleteI wish the USA would do it too. BUT, please quote the right people and do not distribute misleading articles. Look here:
DeleteWhile I agree with what the email says, it is misleading. It was not Prime Minister Julia Gillard nor former Prime Minister John Howard (as stated in an early 2009 email) but it was in fact then Federal Treasurer Peter Costello who actually uttered the comments (in November 2005) and then Federal Education Minister Dr Brendan Nelson portions also by Prime Minister John Howard. Why not write the whole article in a way that gives credit to the people who actually said it. Making it misleading puts the whole email into question. And do not make it in large point type. I do not need to be shouted at.
Brief Analysis
Contains elements of truth, but is highly misleading and inaccurate

Whoever said it, I agree with him. My family emigrated to this country and we assimilated, learned English and lived under USA laws. We adopted this country and it's laws and culture while maintaining our heritage at home and within our family.
Wow! I cannot even imagine the uproar if this speech was made in the US. My grandparents understood this, as did my husbands parents. Adapt to the new, while maintaining the good of the old. My children are fortunate because not so far back in the family history, folks chose to come to America...for all the great that exists.
ReplyDeleteNow I doubt if my grandparents would come if they were deciding today. The same goes for my inlaws.
Sigh.
Good for Australia!

There is a place for everything. I have enjoyed all the diverse cultures in Australia and I speak another language.. But when people come here and run the country down and want to change our ways, then that is wrong. Like Ms Gillard says, they 'Have The Right To Leave.'
DeleteI've never understood why many people want to go to another country and culture and expect it to be just like their homeland in every way, but safer for THEM. It makes no sense that one would go somewhere to live with these expectations. BTW, I didn't hear the uproar yet but I guess that is because I missed the news today.
ReplyDeleteI believe it came on in early January of this year. Other Prime Ministers have said similar.
DeleteI would be proud to be called an Australian. Our PR papers have just been lodged although we have lived here for nearly 20 years. Miss Gilliard is correct in offeing people the choice to leave if they are not willing to accept Our way of life and culture here. People forget why they left their own country in the first place and have a vision of "the Rosey Back Home" well it's not in our case. I am dreading going back for the next month, to help Mom sort out her business and new accommodation. Unfortuneately Mom can't live here cause her husband is in his 90's and she's in her deep 70's, nothing we can do about that. They are both going to a frail care facility.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely day, hope the weather is good your way
Rina
Rena I really feel for you. You are the type of people Australia needs, not the trouble makers.. And your poor parents, I pray they are well cared for, its sad they can't come here also.
DeleteInteresting! I hope that Sharia law is outlawed in every free nation.
ReplyDeleteAmen to that!
DeleteHooRay for your Prime Minister, the USA needs to do the same. Our countries are great places to be, when you're here you must do things our way...If you want things your way, go home and do it your way...
ReplyDeleteThats right Mary. A nursing friend of mine worked in Saudi Arabia for a few years and had to wear a burqa..she wanted to work there so she had to conform.
DeleteI agree with Marydon above. If the US would of had the guts to say that years ago, we wouldn't have the screwed up mess of a country that we have today!
ReplyDeleteThats right Gerry.. Good onya
DeleteThe US would be wise to follow Australia's example.
ReplyDeleteI hope they do Shelly.
DeleteI applaud your Prime Minister. What a great Lady!
ReplyDeleteShe has done well here.
DeleteAwesome! I sure hope Australia hangs on to this prime minister.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this really encouraging news.
<><
She and others before her have said similar. I pray we remain a Christian country.
DeleteThis makes sense! I don't think itwill happen here because the politicians fear offending someone from another culture. They even remind us that we are children of immigrants and should therefore kow-tow to every request of illegals. I'm pleased to see that at least one leader in our world can cut through all the balder-dash and come straight to the point. It's a free country. Exercise your freedom to leave if you don't like it. oTHERWISE SHAPE UP!
ReplyDeleteNo-one likes to offend anyone,it is difficult making your home in another country. However, if you do, you should abide with that countries rules, not try to push your own. After all,if your own country did so well, why did you leave??
DeleteI didn't think a country could have that much power! sandie
ReplyDeleteWe have to have Sandie, and I think it depends on all of us standing together as one.
DeleteFor some reason, the comment box doesn't show up, properly, so I'm commenting as a reply...
DeleteYour PM has guts, and I admire her.
Praising God for Australia.
Blessings of hope and peace be on you for the new year!

Can you imagine if those who managed to get out of hell went to heaven and started demanding that it be run like hell. God's kingdom is like a country, in order to live there you must conform to God's way of lifestyle or am I wrong? Exactly so with anyone, irrespective of beliefs, entering a country.
ReplyDeleteWe have a similar problem here with illegal immigrants setting up shop here selling drugs and Internet scams. Go away already. Oh well, no one has the guts of your prime minister to do anything about it.
Ozzies speak their minds..LOL you are so right in what you wrote Geoff.. I never thought about the Hell and Heaven bit..
DeleteWith a minimum of Google help, I find that where I live, Florida, has lent its nickname to your (state?) QLD--the SUNSHINE STATE. Thank you for your visit and comment, from Sunshine-to-Sunshine!
ReplyDeleteContrary to my usual practice, I intend to copy this article about the Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard...maybe tonight..OK, TOMORROW AFTERNOON (Saturday) your time. If you object, let me know and I'll take it down ASAP. You will be linked!
I can only pray that our own government will turn back into the direction which Australia is leading. But we have none but greedy jellyfish in our capitol--and leaderless sheep in the rest of the country. (My opinion.)
Thanks, now I have (shudder) ANOTHER blog to keep up with--grin!
PEACE! Crystal Mary....
Your welcome to copy, good onya Mate.
DeleteThis is an email that has been circulating for years, credited to a variety of leaders. It is fake. More than that, it promotes intolerance. Both the Bible and the Koran teach love and compassion. Those who commit violent acts of terrorism in the name of Islam are not true Islamists or children of Allah. Respect for others cultural and religious beliefs should be values we live by daily. Few people want to change things as referred to in the email here in Australia. Those who do are a minority. That said, we constantly try and change things in other countries... Does this make us as 'evil' as those who want the right to practice Sharia Law here?? Let's not get carried away, especially when the content is as questionable as that ridiculous email! Peace and tolerance to you all :)
