No Island Is An Island

Rec'd this forward of a forward of a forward, etc., from a friend of mine who is one of those Rush Limbaugh/Red County types--you know, everybody that doesn't look like him is an illegal alien stealing American jobs and sucking the system dry, thinks Obama is the anti-Christ and is absolutely convinced that his America is the one true religion.

Apparently they think this guy Howard is the shit for telling off Muslims, non-Christians, non-English speakers (although "Australian" is borderline English, at best) and anyone else who doesn't like the former island penal colony that they call home.

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.

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.'

I figured this would be an appropriate response:

Dear Prime Minister Howard,

We agree. Please don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out of OUR country.

Sincerely,

Your hosts for the last 200 years, The Aborigines
