Judeoscope.ca notes an article in the Montreal Muslim News on Australian Treasurer Peter Costello’s statement that Muslim immigrants should adapt to Australian values, in which the author expresses utter contempt for Western civilization:
Calling on Muslim to embrace western values, or in this case Australian values, is merely coded speech calling on us to leave our faith. For believing Muslims our set of values are based on the Quran and the noble example of the prophet Muhammad. If we look deeply into the sickness of what passes for “western values” one can see why we choose Allah over human made systems of morality and conduct.
Allah unambigously says in the Holy Quran:
“O you who believe, obey Allaah and obey His Messenger, and the people in authority among you. And if you dispute over anything, refer it to Allaah and His Messenger if you really believe in Allaah and the Last Day, that is best in terms of consequences.” (4:59)
“And he who does not rule by what Allaah sent down, it is they who are the disbelievers.” (5:44)
“And he who does not rule by what Allaah sent down, it is they who are the wrongdoers.” (5:45)
“And he who does not rule by what Allaah sent down, it is they who are the rebellious.” (5:47)”
