    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, Rudd 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 chose.'


    Maybe if we circulate this amongst ourselves, WE will find the courage to start speaking and voicing the same truths.


    If you agree please SEND THIS ON and ON to as many people as you know

    Now, please understand that I received this as an e-mail today (the emailed comments are in italics). The views expressed in the e-mail are not my own, so there's no need to hack me down.

    I just wonder if many would agree with the sentiment behind it. I thought it was a pretty big statement for the PM to come out with tbh.

    Dead right, anyone who offends "our" way of life should be rounded up and interrened in camps. No "funny" religions allowed or it's the chimneys for you. You speak English or we won't let you in.

    I'm sick of these people with their foreign cultures who want to live here and raise their children and integrate in the face of bigotry. I mean HOW DARE THEY!.

    Australia, of course as we all know has been populated by the Australians for millions of years. Look what happened with the last bunch of immigrants, they boozed them up, stole their children and marginalised them in society. Now if the Abbo's has taken a strict line the first time and gased the lot of them we wouldn't have this problem. I mean, really, no immo's allowed!

    Live together in peace? Get back to that pipe you hippie. I'm stomping these greasy foreigners before they can breed and steal all my dole.

    Locked because it's been mostly debunked.
