By Their Words...

Peter Costello speaks out:

Lambasting the spread of "mushy multiculturalism", the Treasurer has bluntly called for hard-line Muslims and others who don't observe Australian values to be stripped of their citizenship.

Keyser Trad bleats predictably:

TREASURER Peter Costello is promoting division and Islamophobia in remarks about Muslims and should be censured, a Muslim community leader said.
Keysar Trad, president of the Islamic Friendship Association of Australia, said today he genuinely hoped Prime Minister John Howard would censure Mr Costello.

Then Trad gives the game away:

Mr Trad said nobody was protesting Australia's secular laws through any other means than the normal democratic process.

2030 then we take over, eh?
