Australian PM John Howard gave the right response re.imposing sharia.
Reader comment on item: Accept Shari'a in the West?

Submitted by M.D'Souza (United States), May 29, 2007 at 20:50

The Australian P.M. John Howard did not use a 'politically correct' language when he said that, those who wish to live under the sharia law in Australia better go to any Islamic nations that practice it. Australia was not interested in these sharia-adherents to be in his country.
