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, he 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."

Way to go Australia They're the closest country in the world to us in terms of culture and everything. Now all they need is to stop being scared of guns, and they will become our true ally
Somewhat sensical quotes aside Australia is full of inveterate racists who aren't quite so reasonable
So people who want to retain their cultural heritage and language are racists? Why doesn't that surprise me at all? But of course if Australians all looked like the Japanese, then they wouldn't be considered racist, because only white males can be racist
No people who are racist are racist. Have you ever been to Australia? It goes a bit beyond cultural retention into xenophobia, slurs for non-Whites used commonly, attacks on the "Lebs" etc etc. Please don't make strawman arguments, it makes you look stupid
Whether it is occupation or oppression, neither of which I intend to debate, Australian has troops deployed in Iraq, Afghanistan, East Timor, and the Philippines as a part of the "war on terror". FYI
