While Britain is caving in to Muslim pressure to control the culture by banning any cultural symbols of pigs (from the A.A. Milne character Piglet, to a statue of a boar) and demanding Burger King change the graphic on a serving of ice cream because it might look like the Arabic word for Allah; The Brits former penal colony of Australia, seems to have figured out that accommodating these fanatics is the first step to surrendering to their Islamic extremism.
From the Australian publication: The Age.
EDUCATION Minister Brendan Nelson has bluntly told Islamists who do not want to accept and teach Australian values that they should "clear off".
And [Prime Minister] John Howard has warned that mosques, prayer halls and Muslim schools will be watched "to the extent necessary" to ensure they do not give comfort to terrorism.
A day after the Prime Minister's summit with Muslim leaders, the Government stepped up its push to get "Australian values" — epitomised, it says, by the Anzac story of Simpson and his donkey — taught comprehensively to Muslim children.
On Tuesday Treasurer Peter Costello said people thinking of coming to Australia who did not like Australian values and preferred a society that practised sharia law should go elsewhere.
Dr Nelson said he would soon meet the Australian Federation of Islamic Councils to discuss programs to ensure those in Islamic schools and all other children fully understood Australian history and values.
"We don't care where people come from; we don't mind what religion they've got or what their particular view of the world is. But if you want to be in Australia, 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.
...
"But equally, if people are not willing to give their first loyalty to this country, they obviously must understand that that will arouse enormous concern within the rest of the Australian community."
Thanks to Paul Serbu for bringing this to my attention.
