Howard hits out at 'jihad' Muslims (Australia's PM)
The Australian ^ | 20 Feb 06 | George Megalogenis

Posted on 02/19/2006 3:39:44 PM PST by Fair Go

JOHN Howard has strongly criticised aspects of Muslim culture, warning they pose an unprecedented challenge for Australia's immigration program.

While he remained confident that the overwhelming majority of Muslims would be successfully integrated, the Prime Minister said there were two unique problems that previous intakes of migrants from Europe and Asia did not have. "I do think there is this particular complication because there is a fragment which is utterly antagonistic to our kind of society, and that is a difficulty," Mr Howard told The Australian.

"You can't find any equivalent in Italian, or Greek, or Lebanese, or Chinese or Baltic immigration to Australia. There is no equivalent of raving on about jihad, but that is the major problem."

The very fact that people at the highest levels can actually say it out loud now is a very good sign.

They are here to conquer.

The sooner we expel the Mohammedans, the better.

A Muslim that follows the teachings of his religions text could never assimilate into Western society, ever.

"They hate the West. Why are they here ?"

Well, like the guy said. To antagonize us. And stake out a breeding ground, I'd say. He also said:

"While he remained confident that the overwhelming majority of Muslims would be successfully integrated,. . .">

A deadly assumption, I would say further.

The question that begs to be answered is, why have they been allowed to be here. They, by their own admission, are against our form of government, have no desire to assimilate, are on a quest to kill us and we still welcome them with open arms and provide them protection so they can go about their business of destroying our societies.

There is nothing wrong with the Muslims.....we are the sick ones allowing it to happen and even when confronted with death and destruction, we still don't do anything about it. To quote Savage, "When our enemy is willing to die for his beliefs yet we are not willing to kill to survive, we've lost."

Hitler hated the Russians and Slavs, but that inconvenient fact didn't slow the Wehrmacht down much.

The drawing shows the old-fashioned Australian "thunder box". It is very appropriate.

And they have an Islamic "superhero" comic book called "The 99" to help people slouch toward dhimmitude.
