MUSLIMS are outraged that prospective citizens will have to acknowledge the Judeo-Christian tradition as the basis of Australia's values system.
Australia's peak Muslim body said the proposed citizenship question -- revealed in the Herald Sun -- was disturbing and potentially divisive.
Australian Federation of Islamic Councils president Dr Ameer Ali said the "Abrahamic tradition" or "universal values" would be less divisive ways of describing the nation's moral base.
Dr Ali said use of the term Judeo-Christian was the result of "WWII guilt", and before 1945 Australia would have been called only Christian.
"That question must be rephrased," he said.
Dr Ali was backed by Democrats senator Lyn Allison, who said the answer to the question was highly debatable.
But Immigration Minister Kevin Andrews stood firm on the merit of the question.
Mr Andrews said Australia's Judeo-Christian heritage was indisputable historical fact.

But you don’t understand: they want YOUR home. See?
I saw that on Aussie Age wire just now WTF this cleric is b***hing about

Yep. Australia was a Pommy colony.
Have I got news for them!!!!
Yeah was penal colony you hear of Botany Bay ROFL
They hate the West. Why are they here ?
Auusie Dasher, please stay strong. Your country is the only one with the balls to confront these seventh century nutballs.
It's supposed to be divisive, you flying wing-nut.
“People of the Book” means people to whom Allah sent prophets, but whose ancestors rejected the true word and wrote their own books.
Not really a term of unity.

Australia hasn't been ruined yet, so they figure that holy work is to be done there. Heads remain unchopped, women remain uncovered, vaginas remain in a state lacking mutilation (see hadiths), there is a shortage of children suicide-bombing into crowds of infidels, people are educated in ways that are in conflict with a literal interpretation of the Koran, Jews roam freely, forced conversions of Christians are too infrequent, barnyard animals spend their lives without getting raped, people are rumored to sing and dance and listen to music, banks charge interest, booze is consumed...I can go on.
That is why they are leaving the relative paradises of their homelands - they are trying to import paradise out of love for infidels (may the blood of the infidel swine be splattered in a manner that most pleases Allah (PissBUH)).
But you can see that it is partially Australia's fault for not being considerate of the geopolitical implications of not joining the Muslim world in jihad against all things post-13th century. We in the western world should accommodate the "needs" of even the fruitiest nutjob fanatics to address the root causes for all these troubles. If we all just became Muslim and adopted Marxist police state policies, they would leave us alone! Preemptive-ruining/ruling.
They want to butcher you and take your land.
"Universal values"??? Is the bastard NUTS?
Which Western World culture takes women onto soccer fields to shoot in the head or to stone to death?
Which Western World culture teaches hatred from the crib - and celebrates suicide bombers who kill school children?
Which Western World culture televises and celebrate the beheading of shackled prisoners who have taken no hostile action against them?
If the bastards refuse to simply acknowledge the TRUTH, without bitching about being discriminated against or insulted.... then they are unfit to live outside the Islamic Republics...
Simple test.....simple response
NONE of the places on this planet that are desirable for people of ALL FAITHS to live in -- were founded on the principles of or by folks who follow the Koran.... NONE.
Too many Muslims are proving themselves to be incapable of being trusted to live amongst folks who are not Muslim...
The risks are too great to justify the benefits....
The risk:benefit ratio is suicidally out of balance..
Tell them all to go pound sand.
Muslims don't emigrate, they colonize.
