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.

Well of course they still read from the Bible. lol. But do they read the bits where they tell you to kill the enemies of Christ? Be obedient to your husband or you can expect to be beaten into submission? Cover your head when leave the house?
Google Exclusive Brethren. They don't tell members to kill unbelievers, but soe of their other edicts are a tad on the strict side.

Yes, I was outraged. to tell people that they should uphold certain standards but not upholding the same standards themselves seems somewhat dishonest.
When they cannot abstain, women should use contraception, the former Catholic seminarian says.

Shari Law?.... get **bleep**ed....... I agree..... if you don't like or agree with the laws in Australia that are preventing you from raping children

No religion should violate human rights.

Lucky for us you haven't taken the most obscure passages out of your Bible and followed some of those rule or you would be in prison right now.
ok i am curious - what are those passages?
i wouldn't have a clue where to even start looking
but - the only offence that could land you in prison that
i can think of would be disturbing the peace - using
Jesus' example of turning over tables in the temple -
he did get crucified for that didnt he
i cant think of anything that Jesus would teach that could
make you commit crime ??? just going by bible stories from
many yrs ago.
Well as it is on topic, wasn't it David that went forth and started beheading the Philistines on the strength of the word of the Lord?
There are plenty of passages easily searched if you need more.
isnt that the jewish bible?
we are discussing current beliefs and
you were making comparisons between the koran and
the christian bible but you're quoting jewish bible.
now - i know that there are probably people who dont
think there is a difference but i'm sure christians and jews
will disagree with you
Umm. No. It is definitely in our Bible.
And there are plenty of others. Isn't it Salome that beheads John the Baptist? And this is in the NEW Testament too. Fancy that hey? Even after us Christians are 'enlightened' we still go around chopping peoples heads off...

nah, that is not what you said - you said:
No Islamic group in this country is or has ever called for the government to chage it's law to Sharia laws.
which i showed to be incorrect
in one of my earlier posts.
Umm. Haven't I said the same thing but in different (but generally the same) words lol? What invisible line are you reading that isn't there?
And where has any Islamic group in this country asked for our Federal laws to change? You say you have already showed this but I can't see this.

Have you ever seen a report in the media of any Australian Muslim demanding - or even advocating - that Sharia Law be adopted in Australia? The closest I have seen is A FEW people advocting that ONE OR TWO ASPECTS of Sharia Law- relating to divorce etc - be recognised in Australian Family Law for those of the Islamic faith who CHOOSE to abide by them.
Are these the people whom Lambie says should "get out."

thank you. that was what i meant.
i cant remember specific examples though -
attempts involving what/which policies?
The school chaplains program is a good place to start, with the counsellors and welfare officers exclusion from the program.
