A lot of politicians probably feel like this but not many have the balls to take her stance.
She sure isn't backing down on her hard line stance and one has to appreciate her belief in the rights of her native countrymen.
A breath of fresh air to see someone lead. Australian Prime Minister does it again!!
The whole world needs a leader like this!
tr
Prime Minister Julia Gillard - 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, Gillard angered some Australian Muslims on Wednesday by saying she 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.'
NOTE: IF we circulate this amongst ourselves in UK , Canada & USA , WE will find the courage to start speaking and voicing the same truths.

It's probably quite old because she hasn't been the PM for 3 months.
She wasn't super popular in Australia though (we now have a douchebag as the new PM).
That being said, she was an unmarried Atheist so there is no way someone like that could become president in the US ![[Smile]](smile.gif)
While I don't necessarily disagree with the OP, it's still a bit weird to me for a country to say something like that when Australia was taken (not that long ago) from the aboriginals, made it our own, and we now ask foreigners to adapt or leave. ![[BS flag]](graemlins/bs_flag.gif)

While that'd never fly here, it sure is refreshing to hear it from somewhere! It'll be interesting to see what kind of backlash this prompts, if any.

It wouldn't fly here because, we weren't founded by Christians, or any other religion.. ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif) Hell Some states you can't even hold a office if you are Atheist. ![[Frown]](frown.gif)
