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.
-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.
' Maybe if we circulate this amongst ourselves, Indian citizens will find the backbone to start speaking and voicing the same truths.
Disclaimer:
I am not against any religion per se.
All I wanna say is that we must follow the saying
"jeeyo aur jeene do"
Friends and countrymen of all religion are equally dear to me.
Religion is the manifestation of spirituality in one and the latter takes different paths while coming out of him or her. This difference of path of letting the spirituality out is evident with different religion, the concept of allmighty and the way to reach him. There just can't be one single path to reach a post and so it is about reaching the god. He welcomes everyone who seeks him with love no matter how this love is expressed. And a true lover cares of the love of others.
ReplyDeleteThe first qualification of a leader is fearlessness. Howard has been a seasoned politician and a true democrat. He has been groomed very well in democratic polity. He was one of the few leaders in Australia to oppose the move of the British monarchy to bring Australia back under the crown some years back.
DO we have any Howard in India? I don't see anyone.
