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.

Maybe if she explained exactly what she means by "supporters of Sharia Law" we could answer your question.

Does she mean those who would like to see Australia governed by sharia Law or does she mean those who apply Sharia Law to aspects of their private lives in the same way that some Catholics are expected to obey the laws of their Church with regard to abortion, contraception, fasting on certain days in Lent, going to Mass on Sundays, not being abe to remarry in a Catholic church if they have been divorced etc.

Agree with what exactly?

It's a nonsense comment from her. How is she going to know what someone believes? And why bundle it up with government hand-outs?

Anyone can have an opinion even if that opinion is that they believe sharia law is justified. As long as they follow Australian laws and don't act on their opinion, then it isn't an issue.

she-el I am assuming that she is talking about the extremes of sharia law (stonings for adulterers, that kind of thing). As with most right winged people, this seems to be the only comprehension that they have of it.

Comments The Daily Telegraph has chosen to run with and sensationalise... not worth reading that article.

I hardly think Sharia Law can remotely be compared to the practices of Catholicism.

http://www.billionbibles.org/sharia/sharia-law.html

According to the Sharia law:

•  Theft is punishable by amputation of the right hand (above).
•  Criticizing or denying any part of the Quran is punishable by death.
•  Criticizing or denying Muhammad is a prophet is punishable by death.
•  Criticizing or denying Allah, the moon god of Islam is punishable by death.
•  A Muslim who becomes a non-Muslim is punishable by death.
•  A non-Muslim who leads a Muslim away from Islam is punishable by death.
•  A non-Muslim man who marries a Muslim woman is punishable by death.
•  A man can marry an infant girl and consummate the marriage when she is 9 years old.
•  Girls' clitoris should be cut (per Muhammad's words in Book 41, Kitab Al-Adab, Hadith 5251).
•  A woman can have 1 husband, but a man can have up to 4 wives; Muhammad can have more.
•  A man can unilaterally divorce his wife but a woman needs her husband's consent to divorce.
•  A man can beat his wife for insubordination.
•  Testimonies of four male witnesses are required to prove rape against a woman.
•  A woman who has been raped cannot testify in court against her rapist(s).
•  A woman's testimony in court, allowed only in property cases, carries half the weight of a man's.
•  A female heir inherits half of what a male heir inherits.
•  A woman cannot drive a car, as it leads to fitnah (upheaval).
•  A woman cannot speak alone to a man who is not her husband or relative.
•  Meat to be eaten must come from animals that have been sacrificed to Allah - i.e., be Halal.
•  Muslims should engage in Taqiyya and lie to non-Muslims to advance Islam.
•  The list goes on.

No, it is not; there are some very ridiculous aspects of sharia law, but also some very ordinary and completely compatible with our society's values.

As she-el said, they are not much different to catholic church rules.  And nobody is seriously suggesting introduction of cutting hands.
