Australia officials have told Muslims there that they are expected to act civilly, like everyone else in that country.

Muslims are angry with that. They protest. They are being singled out to behave and they don’t like that one bit.

According to CNSNews’ Patrick Goodenough, Islamic voices are crying out that they just can’t “fit in.” That is not only the cry in Australia but European countries as well. In other words, the new kids on the block don’t like the home rules.

Australia has told Muslims that henceforth they are to learn English. They also are to learn manners related to females — in other words treating women respectfully. They are also to make a lifestyle that is not always on the edge — honor killing, abiding by sharia “legal” system (behind closed doors), whip lashing youths for supposedly disobeying something or other, and threatening law-abiding Australians.

Muslims are so entrenched in their cultic ways that it is hard for them to realize that the rest of the world does not belong to a killing and maiming cult. However, Australian officialdom is bound to stick to the stipulations, not giving in to the wails in the night from Isalmics.

Muslims are informing town hall that statements coming from elected officials could “antagonize Muslims.” Of course, no matter what Muslims do or threaten, Australians can never be antagonized from any of that macabre annoyance.

Muslims have the bottom line being that the host country conforms to Islamic altogethers. Even though that does not make courteous sense, it is expected by the Allah-devotees.

Muslims back up their cries with conclusions that horrific acts could follow. In other words, they are very much aware of Islam World Rule and what steps must be taken to achieve it. Antagonize. Intimidate. Threaten. Kill. Lay waste.

“Prime Minister John Howard late last week said migrants should integrate into the way of life in their new country but that a minority of Muslims was opposed to accepting Australia’s values.

“’Fully integrating means accepting Australian values—it means learning as rapidly as you can the English language if you don’t already speak it,’ he said in a radio interview. ‘People who come from societies where women are treated in an inferior fashion have got to learn very quickly that that is not the case in Australia.’”

Muslims responded with this: “Howard’s remarks drew a swift and critical response from Muslim leaders.

“’We have already witnessed one incident in Sydney recently in Cronulla,” he said in reference to last December’s riots. “I don’t want these scenes to be repeated because when you antagonize the younger generation … they are bound to react.’”

Is America now ready to listen to such a harangue from Muslims imported from Russia by the US Congress and President Bush? These Muslims have been located by our officials just outside Philadelphia. Further, they have been granted US citizenship, furnished housing, pensions and health benefits.

Is that not a sorry move on the part of Washington? Yet it occurred.

Now the White House has published on its own web site warnings concerning Muslims. In other words, it appears as if the US Congress and Mr. Bush have come a long way in defining who a Muslim is. Visit http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2006/09/20060905-7.html

I think Australia is a step or two ahead of the United States. But hopefully Washington will soon catch up.

“Other Muslim community representatives said the line adopted by Howard was encouraging racial tension. But Howard stood by his position, denied he was singling out Muslims, and refused to apologize.

“’No matter what the culture of the country from which they came might have been, Australia requires women to be treated fairly and decently and in the same fashion as men,’ he told reporters later. ‘If any migrants coming to this country have a different view, they’d better get rid of that view pretty quickly.’”

So be it. Carry on, Australia.
