Have the Ausies got it right.......

I got this email today, -


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.
>
> A day after a group of mainstream Muslim leaders
> pledged loyalty to Australia and her Queen at a
> special meeting with Prime Minister John Howard, he
> and his Ministers made it clear that extremists
> would face a crackdown. Treasurer Peter Costello,
> seen as heir apparent to Howard, hinted that some
> radical clerics could be asked to leave the country
> if they did not accept that Australia was a secular
> state, and its laws were made by parliament. "If
> those are not your values, if you want a country
> which has Sharia law or a theocratic state, then
> Australia is not for you", he said on National
> Television.

> "I'd be saying to clerics who are teaching that

> independent courts, democracy, and would prefer
> Sharia law and have the opportunity to go to another
> country, which practices it, perhaps, then, that's a

> Asked whether he meant radical clerics would be
