CANBERRA - Prime Minister John Howard angered some Australian Muslims on Wednesday by saying he supported spies monitoring the nation’s mosques.


He was speaking just hours before bidding farewell to a unit of Australian elite troops heading for combat duty in Afghanistan in a deployment sure to further upset many Muslims here.

A day after holding a summit with 13 moderate Australian Islamic leaders, Howard said the government had a right to know if parts of the Islamic community supported or preached violence, and he favoured infiltration of mosques and schools if needed.

But Education Minister Brendan Nelson said on Wednesday that Muslims who did not support Australian values should ”clear out” and leave the country.

1. Maybe America should have spies monitoring wherever...

Pat Robertson preaches.

2. John Howard & junior share the same general characteristics

the only difference between the two men is that Howard is more open, where junior is sneaky.

Howard probably got the idea from junior to spy on the Muslims Mosques from junior and the way they do it here in the U.S.
