Australia has put Muslim clerics on notice:
A day after a group of mainstream Muslim leaders pledged loyalty to Australia and her Queen at a special meeting with Prime Minister John Howard, he and his Ministers made it clear that extremists would face a crackdown.
Treasurer Peter Costello, seen as heir apparent to Howard, hinted that some radical clerics could be asked to leave the country if they did not accept that Australia was a secular state, and its laws were made by parliament. ''If those are not your values, if you want a country which has Sharia law or a theocratic state, then Australia is not for you'', he said on National Television.
''I'd be saying to clerics who are teaching that there are two laws governing people in Australia: one the Australian law and another the Islamic law, that is false. If you can't agree with parliamentary law, independent courts, democracy, and would prefer Sharia law and have the opportunity to go to another country, which practices it, perhaps, then, that's a better option'', Costello said.
Asked whether he meant radical clerics would be forced to leave, he said those with dual citizenship could possibly be asked to move to the other country.
Education Minister Brendan Nelson later told reporters that Muslims who did not want to accept local values should ''clear off''. Basically people who don't want to be Australians, and who don't want, to live by Australian values and understand them, well then, they can basically ''clear off'', he said.
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.''

If there was a prize for top anti-dhimmi nation on this earth, the Land Down Under would win by a landslide. The government has a commendable counter-jihad bent and one that is sorely lacking virtually everywhere.
If this continues, I might have to move to Australia...permanently.
Jeez, we may all have to.
Back in WWII, Australian soldiers were sent to British Palestine as reinforcements. Because of their contrast with the stuffy, rigid-lipped British soldiers, they were beloved of the Jewish inhabitants of the time, and sorely missed when they had to go.
Go Stralya! Go Strine government!
Being ex-colonials themselves, these unsophisticated outback-dwellers lack the refinements of post-colonial guilt analysis and the intellectual context of post-modern cultural relativism which are such essential aspects of the worldview of the avant-garde European and American intelligentsia
In fact, these ex-colonial hayseeds are so crude that if they see something which looks like the voided products of the digestive process, and smells like the voided products of the digestive process, they will call it a 'turd'.
Hence they do not recognise Islam as the Religion of Peace.
The European Union must dispatch multicultural anti-Islamophobia counsellors immediately!
