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.

No religion should violate human rights.

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."

   I could care less about media reports.... the question was asked about shari law in Australia..... I gave my opinion.

True, not catholic specifically but they have excluded those of qualification not working for a religious group.

The adoption of sharia law has a fan club in Australia.

Sharia: why a dual legal system will not work in Australia

A major Australian Islamic group recently argued for a formal recognition of sharia or Muslim law in the Australian legal system.

According to the Australian Federation of Islamic Councils, Australia should integrate Islamic religious law into existing regulations and statute governing areas of life as diverse as marriage, divorce and many financial transactions.

Such calls for a dual legal system recognising Islamic law or sharia are not only premature, but would be unsustainable and impractical.

Having two legal systems would be overly complicated, but there is also not a big enough Muslim population in Australia to warrant the change. And even if there was, the varied nature of this community would mean different religious interpretations of sharia, making any new legal system problematic.

What is the Muslim population percentage, again? a little over 2%

I'm pretty sure that's correct.

So in your opinion those Islamic fundamentalist minority groups, which even the mainstream Islamic community in Australia say exists and regularly publically condem, you know the ones that are recruiting and brainwashing Australians to fight for the Islamic State, don’t exist.

In the alterative, if you accept they exist, why do you find it so hard accept that these said same groups hold themselves and their followers bound by Sharia Law, and are on the public record as saying, where there is conflict between Australian Law and Sharia Law, Sharia Law takes precedence.

Correct, Sharia Law is anathema to the free thinking woman. Sharia law was introduced in Afghanistan after the war and women died by the 1000's were stoned to death and starved on the street at the hands of the Taliban who imposed Sharia. Women were less valuable than dogs under the taliban and sharia.

Sharia cannot be tolerated in the 21st century or any other century for that matter. Sharia should be fought agains in any western country at all costs. Sharia is practiced in secret in this country, by a few,  that is a fact.

Trying to equate sharia to any modern religion is sickening and appeasing in the extreme.

Sharia is against humanity in all forms and in the hands of men it's women and humanity who suffer.

Of course it is an anathma  - not  just to women - but to every fair minded person.

However:

The OP in this thread was about Jackie Lambie's comment that those who support Sharia Law should get out.

Was she referring to those who publicly advocate Australian Law being subverted to Sharia Law? 

Did Lambie quote any instance of any one of them publicly advocating this?

Can ANYONE here quote such an incident? 

I'm sure there is a tiny minority of Ausstralians who would love to see Australia under Sharia Law (nobody can prevent anybody wishing for  anything) but If nobody has publicly advocated it, why did Lambie feel the need to make a declaration about it.

And how do we determine who needs to be kicked out, anyway? How do we know what beliefs people have or what religious customs they practice in the privacy of their own homes?

Does buying halal products mean you are a supporter of Sharia Law?

Does wearing a burqua mean you are a supporter of Sharia Law?

Does praying five times a day at specified hours mean you are a supporter of Sharia Law.

Are they the people Lambie is referring to when she says they should  'get out"? If so, she has a bit of a problem on her hands, because one or two  inigenous spokespeople have advocated that aspects of Aboriginal Law should be integrated into Australian Law Where should they "get" to?

I think Lambie wants to punt anyone who advocates sharia law. Not sure about Aboriginal Law but I do know that being an aborigine does not make you a member of any alleged RELIGION.

(replying to no one in particular, just airing my opinion 🙂 )

Under Australian law there is nothing to prevent consenting parties from making their own arrangements re divorce settlements, custody rights or inheirtance rights.

Australian law provides a no-fault divorce process if either of the parties applies for it; no permission from the spouse needed.

The point is, that  all of the aspects of Sharia law that have been asked for most vociferously by the Muslim community in Aus can already be applied, providing that both parties consent.

The other point is that in these particular spheres of law, the woman is at less  disadvantage under Australian law than she would be under Sharia.

Presently a Muslim woman in Aus can accept a Sharia solution to questions of inheritance, divorce, custody, what religion to follow, etc, but to introduce such a thing as being a compulsion (a Law) for muslim men and women here , is something else.
