\nShe says \u201cMuslims, who are demanding Sharia law have been asked to leave Australia by wednesday because Australia sees fanatic muslims as terrorists. Each and every mosque will be searched and muslims will cooperate with us in this process. All the muslims who have migrated from other countries to Australia will have to adept and change themselves as per our country and not expect us to change as per them.
\nIf they are unable to do so, they are most welcome to leave Australia.
\nA lot of Australian are worried that we may be insulting a particular religion\u2026.but I assure the people of Australia that whatever is being done is for the betterment of Australia and its people.
\nWe speak English here and not Arabic or urdu or any othe islamic language so if you want to stay in our country you better learn to speak English.
\nIn Australia we believe in Jesus who is our God and we believe in God. Just because we believe in and follow Christianity and no other religion, does not make us Communal which is why you will find God\u2019s Pictures and religious books everywhere.
\nIf you have any objection to this, you are free to leave Australia and go anywhere else in the world.
\nAustralia is our land, our country and this is our culture.
\nWe do not follow your religion but we respect your sentiments which is why if you want to read koran and offer namaz, please do not create noise pollution by using speakers and reading out loudly. Please DO NOT Read Koran or offer prayers in our schools, offices or public places.
\nYou can do so in the quiet of your home or in a mosque which will not inconvenience us.
\nIf you have any issues with our national flag or national anthem or our religion or our lifestyle, kindly leave Australia at this very moment and never ever return back\u201d.
\nAustralian Prime Minister Julia Gillard
