LOL ...and another reason some may tend to discount much of what this writer has to say, is that he evidently doesn't spend a lot of time 'proof-reading'...
"...from the intuition of marriage (???), to our math, medicine, and physics..."
Personally, I much preferred reading this...
"If you want to be an Australian, if you want to raise your children in Australia, we fully expect those children to be taught and to accept Australian values and beliefs," he said. "We want them to understand our history and our culture, the extent to which we believe in mateship and giving another person a fair go, and basically if people don't want to support and accept and adopt and teach Australian values then, they should clear off."

G'day! ...How ya doin' today, Fred?
from your link: (in 2005)
Prime Minister John Howard says the Government is willing to go inside mosques, prayer halls and Islamic schools to ensure they are not preaching terrorism.
"I mean I have no desire and nor is it the Government's intention to interfere in anyway with the freedom or practice of religion," he said.
"But we have a right to know whether there is, within any section of the Islamic community, a preaching of the virtues of terrorism."
Perhaps now, two years later, someone has brought to Prime Minister Howard's attention if the imam is reading from the koran, he's preaching terrorism...
I wonder how much of that muslim 'holy' book would remain if all the killing and fighting the infidel 'verses' were removed? Enough for one trip to the washroom, hmmm?
I believe our government is doing a great job letting the muslims know what we will and will not put up with.
