PRIME Minister John Howard today said he had no need to apologise for telling Muslims they needed to embrace Australian values.

Mr Howard sparked controversy yesterday by saying on talk-back radio that a small group of Muslim migrants had refused to accept their adopted country's values and had not learned English.

His comments sparked fury among some Muslim leaders who say they were offended.

But Mr Howard today stood by his comments.

"I don't apologise," he told reporters.

"I think they are missing the point and the point is that I don't care, and the Australian people don't care, where people come from.

"There's a small section of the Islamic population which is unwilling to integrate and I have said generally all migrants ... they have to integrate."
