She Did It Again !!! W O W ! Australia says NO -- This will be the second Time Julia Gillard has done this! She sure isn't backing down on her hard line stanc...e and one has to appreciate her belief in the rights of her native countrymen. A breath of fresh air to see someone lead with guts and determination. Australian Prime Minister does it again!! The whole world needs a leader like this! 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 that accepted you.' NOTE: IF we circulate this amongst ourselves in Canada & USA, WE will find the courage to start speaking and voicing the same truths. HMMMMM

She's not the prime minister.
The OP above might indicate why ... if it were actually true ...

But it's not ... it's actually a blatant lie ...

Of course, the hateful and religiously bigoted never miss an opportunity to rope in the hopelessly gullible and easily deceived.

Truth:

Origins: This item is a hybrid which combines an introductory reference to statements made by Australian politicians about Muslims following the July 2005 London Tube bombings with an editorial about immigrants written by a U.S. Air Force veteran following the September 2001 attacks on the U.S., attributing the entire result to current Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard. In fact, none of the statements quoted in the above example was actually made by Prime Minister Gillard.

The first several paragraphs in the example, which include the claim that "Muslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia law were told to get out of Australia," are a reference to political debate over the appropriate response to domestic terrorism concerns in Australia in the aftermath of the July 2005 London Tube bombings. That debate took place when John Howard, not Julia Gillard, was prime minister of that country.

Australia PM Tells Muslim Immigrants 'Adapt or Leave'? - Urban Legends

This might a good lesson which illustrates how care ought to be taken with respect to sources one is inclined to grant validity to, in terms of articles one willing to forward along ...

Forwarding things which are demonstrably false, reflects in some manner on the party doing so ... possibly in multiple ways ...

My only question to IRT, in light of the above, is:

How do you feel now ?

well reliant I cut and pasted it. She may not be the Prime now but was and it was cut from the tabs of which was reported. For the after of it. That being said are you one of those in DC that Voted to take 1% a year in retirement away from the retired Military. Oh could have fooled me. Check out the next post sent to me. Oh yes and if you believe everything in snoops Ill bet you believe everything in Wikipedia as well. Oh and I'm afraid that you can alter Wikipedia and snoops both. Get rid of your windows and start using Linux have a nice day.

You might wanna drop their quality control department a note ... and be a little more cautious about the stuff you choose to post next time around ...

Nope ... I work for a living.

Oh could have fooled me.
You were fooled - the evidence of that is your original post.

Check out the next post sent to me.
Sure ... hopefully you'll vet it a little better than you did your last one ...

Oh yes and if you believe everything in snoops Ill bet you believe everything in Wikipedia as well.
I have no idea whether I believe everything in snopes ... since I've not read everything there ...

However, allow me to share the words (paraphrased) of a rather conservative friend of mine (who isn't prone to drinking the kool-aid), who is a mod on another board and seems like a fairly level-headed guy:

"Everything I've checked out on snopes.com has been accurate"

Wikipedia is another story: buyer beware ...

Although it is sometimes a good source of primary sources ...

Oh and I'm afraid that you can alter Wikipedia and snoops both.
Of course they can be altered - although I can't alter either one ... since I'm not an editor of either - how else would they ever be updated, if someone couldn't alter them ?

Get rid of your windows and start using Linux have a nice day.
I use Mac OS X ... which is based on the BSD Unix kernel ... no Windoze here ...

The reply to "you probably believe everything on Snopes" wins the internet today, lol.

I bet those who disparage Snopes and Wikipedia don't bother to check the references cited for each assertion. Those references are invaluable in deciding what is truth and what isn't, but only if you take the trouble to actually read them.

Anyone can edit and alter Wikipedia.

But good luck in altering or editing Snopes.
