Prime Minister Kevin Rudd – 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, 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 accepted.’
Sorry, but this is sooo not Kevin Rudd’s style. It’s not even Australians style. We prefer to ignore religion, pretty much. ALso Rudd is so much more eloquent than this.
Not “so false” as much as lacking proper attribution.
Thanks, Jack for the clarification…
Jack,
“Muslim immigrants are not assimilating and are instead trying to gain control of their host countries.” making Sharia Law the Law of the Land.
That is exactly the point and why I agree with the way Australian’s are dealing with the attempted takeover.
But it’s not completely false, parts of it were said by Australian officials, though not by Kevin Rudd. The article you linked to quoted an article saying that former Prime Minister John Howard had said “the government would monitor what was said in certain schools and mosques to ensure they did not foster terrorism.”
It also quoted statements by other Australian officials:
“ISLAMIC extremists wanting to enforce fundamentalist law should get out of Australia, federal Treasurer Peter Costello said yesterday.”
“In a significant hardening of the Government’s rhetoric, Mr Costello declared Australia would never be turned into an Islamic state.”
“There are Islamic states around the world that practise sharia law,” he said. “And if that is your object, you may well be much more at home in such a country than trying to turn Australia into one of those countries, because it is not going to happen.”
“Then Federal Education Minister Dr Brendan Nelson was also quoted in the media as stating that “those who do not accept and teach Australian values should ‘clear off'”.
Anyone who’s been to Europe, Scandinavia, or the UK in recent years understands why Howard, Costello, and Nelson said what they did. Muslim immigrants are not assimilating and are instead trying to gain control of their host countries. Unless something happens to reverse the trend, Islamists will rule Europe, the UK, and Scandinavia and the natives of those countries will be taxed as dhimmis (non-Muslims in Muslim countries.) Worse than that, sharia law will be implemented.
It’s reprehensible that the UK, which has no death penalty, is now allowing sharia law since sharia law condones and prescribes “honour killings,” wife beating, capital punishment by stoning and beheading, capital punishment for adultery and homosexuality, amputating the hands of thieves, etc. Women are truly at risk wherever Islam gains power.
It’s a false story…
