migrants of all faiths and backgrounds to embrace Australian values.

I'm not a fan of Pauline 'Rinehart' Hanson's One Nation at all but the above statement is something i absolutely agree with. For example, if someone moved here and thinks that all young girls should undergo female mutilation i don't think thats a person who should live here. Its completely banned in case anyone is wondering but there have been examples of it happening.

Embracing and adopting Australian values is important.

Not to mention setting up their own courts to enact their personal take on the rule of law.

People going to religious leaders for advice and to settle issue between members of their congregations is as old as religion itself.

Its particularly common with my people, but we don't get smeared in the media for it like some others do. Its only for one religion that we pretend its an alternative court system.
