Australia Warns Muslims to Accept Western Values or Get Out

Cajones: Tony Blair and John Howard have them, George W. Bush does not.

Josh sends along this The Age article (subscription):

EDUCATION Minister Brendan Nelson has bluntly told Islamists who do not want to accept and teach Australian values that they should "clear off".

And John Howard has warned that mosques, prayer halls and Muslim schools will be watched "to the extent necessary" to ensure they do not give comfort to terrorism.

A day after the Prime Minister's summit with Muslim leaders, the Government stepped up its push to get "Australian values" — epitomised, it says, by the Anzac story of Simpson and his donkey — taught comprehensively to Muslim children.

On Tuesday Treasurer Peter Costello said people thinking of coming to Australia who did not like Australian values and preferred a society that practised sharia law should go elsewhere...

We want them to understand our history and our culture, the extent to which we believe in mateship and giving another person a hand up and a fair go. And basically, if people don't want to be Australians and they don't want to live by Australian values and understand them, well basically they can clear off."

When are our elected leaders going to be brave enough to say the same?

Dhimmis No More Down Under

Australia may follow the Brits example and ban all groups advocating jihad and the establishment of the Caliphate. CNS:

Australia may follow Britain's lead in banning an Islamist organization that claims to repudiate violence while openly campaigning for the re-establishment of a single Muslim state or caliphate.

If the Australian Security Intelligence Organization (ASIO) finds Hizb ut-Tahrir to be a terrorist threat, the group will be outlawed in the country, Prime Minister John Howard said on Monday....

Hizb ut-Tahrir is already restricted in Germany, Russia and in parts of the Middle East and Central Asia. It is not, however, on the U.S. State Department's list of foreign terrorist organizations....

Australian Hizb ut-Tahrir spokesman Wassim Doureihi told the country's Nine Network television station his party supported the anti-coalition violence in Iraq.

"If we talk about occupied land then we have to expect the people to resist the occupation," he said....

Good on you, Australia. The fight we are engaged in is an ideological fight. Those who believe in the ideology of an Islamic state ought to be barred entry into the U.S. Already, U.S. immigration law forbids naturalization of members of various Communist parties. The same should be extended to Islamist extremists. Not only should they be barred from U.S. citizenship, but they should be denied any form of legal immigration into this country. I'd say that would take care of several hundred imams from Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Egypt who are fomenting hatred on U.S. soil because they have received R-1 "religious worker" visas.
