It was a great example of the words of John Howard, the conservative who came before Rudd. Had they kept Howard another term they may have brought the Muslims under control.

wanna see how your thinking pattern works?? its really simple???

Muslims enforce their own laws, we enforce our own laws, therefore we are Muslims. its a simple a+b, b+c, therefore c+b....

wow.. how embarrassing..
Actually, most of what the man is (wrongly) alleged to have said regarding Muslims has nothing at all to do with LAW, but has to do with culture and lifetyle. LAW has nothing to do with this. Read it again.

Prime Minister Kevin Rudd - Australia

Muslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia law were told on Wednesday to get out ofAustralia , 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.'


Maybe if we pass this along, WE will find the courage to replace the above name; “ Australia ” with “ Canada ”, and stop this nonsense of ‘political correctness’ by speaking and voicing the same truths.
Old news and we are Not Australia. FYI, check out their gun control laws and tell me you like their system better.

You cannot point to their actions on one point and say they are smart and ignore all the other stands they have issues, especially if you totally disagree with them. And YES, it does matter that we are Not Australia, we are not in the same situation, apples and oranges.
