Any Country Needs A Leader Like This!

Prime Minister John Howard - 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, Howard 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 the Americans will circulate this amongst themselves, American citizens will find the backbone to start speaking and voicing the same truths.

Maybe more people in the UK, especially the politicians, should have been saying these things for a long time...... and saying them just as bluntly.

To ginapeterb,
Yes the current PM is Mr. Kevin Rudd. John Howard is the 25th Prime Minister of Australia ( 11 March 1996 - 3 December 2007).
I just want to share this article, thought this might be interesting.

Another phrase :
We decide who comes into this country and the circumstances in which they come.
(2001 election campain)

To IansBusby, you're definitely right. I agree.

Well said to John Howard,pity our uk gov haven't the back bone to speak so bluntly

[Piamed]

Absolutely, fantastic words. Too many come here and then start criticising and complaining. Nothing wring with saying, "then LEAVE".
