'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.'

A country's leader standing up for her country. I don't agree with the Muslim and Christian divide part, but agree with the part about the citizens and her stance on integration.

Agree. You go others' house, you respect their ways and beliefs.

 

Asians (not just Singaporeans) mostly lack this respect for others.

 

To say Asian is a rather broad statement. Anyway, many groups like people from middle easten & Norther Africa (not all, but many) have difficulties intregrating into other culture, not just Asians, & also, some tend to stick to their own group.

 

From my own experience, I have seen some ethical groups that having lived so many years in the host nation, never make much, if any local friends!

 

One particular group (which I shall not name) even wanted to enforce their own law, & demand authority to make changes to fit into their system.

when the leader say this, the people think she endorse in all the hate against other religion? they can burn down property of hose whose believe otherwise?

 

to she can talk very big but she is making it a dangerous place for others to stay that country.

i don't see anything about a christian muslim divide. All the leader is saying is the mainstream aussie is christian, so just respect, accept it. no force to be christian.

When I first read it, the not quoted parts say that it is due to Muslim complaints.

I think it's a matter of mindset. If you keep an open mind, you will have no problems when you travel.

 

It's always important to remember that the world is diverse, and that not everybody is like us.
