Australia an estranged country to many Muslims including Sheik Omran
The Australian ^ | 23rd May 2015 | Chip Le Grand

.....

Australia’s most senior Salafist cleric says if he knew then what he does now, he wouldn’t have come at all. On a Saturday night in Coolaroo, an industrial northern Melbourne suburb where more people consider themselves Muslim than any other religion, the sheik speaks with disappointment, a tinge of bitterness and overwhelmingly a deep sense of dismay. He says he feels like a foreigner in his own country.

.....

“If I knew that one day this would happen in Australia, I swear by the almighty God I will never step foot in my — in your — country,” he tells Inquirer from his office inside the Hume Islamic Youth Centre, where young families are starting to drift in for pizza and prayers. Omran gestures to his adult son Osama, who is quietly serving tea to the older men in the room. “He feels he is not wanted because his name is Islamic. Everyone gets devastated by that.”

.....

Even community leaders who fully support the federal government’s $1.2 billion crackdown on terrorism and acknowledge the unique threat posed by Islamic State recruiters say Muslim Australia has never felt this uncomfortable.

“It is very hard to be an Australian Muslim these days,” says Jamal Rifi, a GP who has become a prominent voice within the Australia’s largest and most concentrated Muslim community in Lakemba and the surrounding suburbs of western Sydney.

“It has always been hard but it is even harder now. The community is unfortunately in the situation where it is being attacked from the outside, attacked from overseas and eaten up from the inside. We are at the crossroads. The soul of this community is actually being lost, to be honest.”

Simple fact - if Muslims in Australia feel unsafe and uncomfortable living in Australia, it's not because of the actions of non-Muslim Australians - it's the fault of Muslims living in Australia.

You want to come here and live here, you need to fit in to our society - not expect our society to adapt itself to you.

Australia. Love it or leave it.

Hey, that works out fine for everyone. Bye! Don't let the door hit you where Allah split you!

Speaking for Aussies...I say:

Don't let the door hit you in the...butt.

As an American, I say:

Don't bring your...butt to America, either.

That would be all of them! They are all “offended” that they can’t just roll in anywhere, have the locals kiss their a$$es, and agree to make their “newfound home sharia compliant.”

Muslims in Australia, they say it’s mighty fine
Try to marry your goat, you’re out on your behind
Oh, I don’t want no more Australian life
Achmed, I want to go, and they want me to go
Achmed, I want to go home

Your dissatisfied Muslims need to be reminded of an old American saying: “Delta is ready when you are.”

One good thing about Australia is that you don't need an exit visa to leave.

Not much details, blanket blame of Australia instead of other muslims that are responsible for it

It sounds like these disaffected Muslims had hoped to turn Australia into a Sharia paradise of slavery, rape, torture and beheadings. That didn’t happen so now they are angry and bitter.
