Prime Minister Howard - Muslims Out Of Australia

Prime Minister John Howard told the media that immigrants should adapt to Australian culture, language and beliefs or leave the country. It also claims that Howard told Muslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia law that they should get out of Australia (
Full commentary below).
Status:
Contains elements of truth, but is highly misleading and inaccurate
Update: 2009
In early 2009, an altered version of
the message falsely claimed that it was then Australia's
Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd who made the comments.
Update: 2011
In late 2010, yet another version of the message began circulating that claimed that it was the current Australian
Prime Minister Julia Gillard who made the comments.
Like the 2009 Kevin Rudd version, this claim has no basis in fact whatsoever.
