Supporters of sharia law to ‘get out’ of Australia.

[nero_bolt]

Do you agree......??? 

JACQUI Lambie wants those in Australia who support sharia law to “pack up their bags and get out of here”.

The Palmer United Party Senator is also calling for them to be kicked off government benefits and not be allowed to vote in this country.

The outspoken Tasmanian, whose recent comments about the threat of a Chinese communist invasion caused a stir, this morning turned her sights on sharia law supporters.

“Anybody that supports Sharia law in Australia should not have the right to vote, should not be given government handouts and should probably pack up their bags and get out of here,” she told reporters in Hobart.

“Anybody supporting or calling for sharia law in Australia can get out. Simple as that.”

Earlier on radio 3AW Senator Lambie praised the Coalition for raising the country’s terror alert level to high — a move she said should have probably happened months ago.

But she warned she was more worried about veterans being “pushed back into the war zone” without adequate help when they returned, while “supporters of sharia law are allowed access to government benefits”.

“We are giving government benefits to those under sharia law … and I simply believe that those supporters who support sharia law should not have the right to vote with their allegiance to a foreign power.”

Senator Lambie said sharia law was “an underlying problem” in Australia.

“Unless we put our foot down on it now it’s only going to become bigger and more dangerous well into the future.”

The former veteran has previously called for a Royal Commission into the Defence Force and the Department of Veterans Affairs.

Whoever spares the rod hates their children,

Proverbs 13.24 

I think you'll find many religious 'disciplinarians' took that advice very much to heart.

foot in mouth again?

We don't have Sharia Law............................

and what if they don't get welfare payments?

and what if they are Australian by birth? and have no country to "go back to"

and

Some religious leaders have called for Australia to embrace “legal pluralism’’ in order to allow Muslims to marry, divorce and conduct financial transactions under the principles of sharia.

In opposition, Attorney-General George Brandis defended the rights of Muslims abide by sharia law insofar as it was consistent with mainstream law.

Senator Brandis said sharia law was often compatible with mainstream law in many instances in Australia, such as in will-making, dietary and clothing practices as well as religious worship.

“There is only one test and that is: is it compliant with Australian law? So long as Australian citizens, of whatever faith, comply with Australian law, that is the only thing that matters,” Senator Brandis said in March 2012.

“The Coalition does not believe that sharia law should be accepted or recognised in Australia. It is logically possible for somebody to do something that is both consistent with Australian law and consistent with sharia principles. The question is: are they obedient to Australian law.”

😞 you should have had my mum as a mum...........

I started school in 1958, taught by nuns in a girls only school. I was never beaten, whipped or caned.................

My brother came home from school at age 4 1/2 with ruler marks on his legs. My mum went to the school and told the nun that if it happened again, she would be down with her own ruler to do the same to her! That was his last beating.

“The Coalition does not believe that sharia law should be accepted or recognised in Australia. It is logically possible for somebody to do something that is both consistent with Australian law and consistent with sharia principles. The question is: are they obedient to Australian law.”

Exactly, Az;  which brings me back to my original question Who are the "supporters of Sharia Law" that Lambie is talking about?

Is she referring to those who wish to have Sharia Law incorporated into Australian Law, or to those who wish to practise some aspects of Sharia Law  their private lives while still being obedient to Australian Law?

Until we know who she is talking about, most of us, at least  will not be able to say whether or not we agree with her.

just reading that interview again, i think she

would have to have been referring to sharia law

incorporated into australian law as you suggested.

"Anybody that is supporting or calling for sharia law in Australia should get out"

ppl already live according to sharia law, which makes

me think she is not talking about personal religious practices.

"I simply believe that those supporters who support sharia law should not have the right to vote with their allegiance to a foreign power"

another indicator imo as to what she

was referring to.

she was possibly talking to the reporters

in the context of current events - our involvement

in fighting isis.  which would make sense.

i still think she is mad

[Anonymous]

and what if they are Australian by birth? and have no country to "go back to"

did she say to go back to or just get out?

obviously to those places governed by sharia law.

Comparing the barbarism of sharia law to modern day  christianity is offensive and wrong. Appalled

What I am appalled at is that there are some that have no comprehension of how close the barbaric words in our Bible are to the Koran (if that is all you care to read and take away from it).

And if either religions went around doing things according to the "rules" in the Bible/Koran there would be an awful lot of one handed Christians and Muslims roaming about.

By the same token if the Bible/Koran didn't have written rules about respect, manners or morality then we would be pretty lawless.

Just because some nutcase decides to behead someone because he thinks the Koran told him to or if some american nutter decides to murder/maim an abortion doctor/clinic worker in the name of the Christian Bible (as happens in the US on a regular basis), does not mean that either book is telling modern citizens to do this.

I believe this was their front page today.

Charming eh??

I saw that today but didn't buy the paper.

I assumed it was some sensationalist statement made from some nutcase islamist.

Instead it is a sensatinalist statement from our nutcase PM.

Ahhh the irony...
