I never got quizzed about my religion, just kept on moving if it seemed to be a town centered on a few bible scriptures. <br /><br />Look at it like this, all of our pants would be down around our ass if we didn't have a bible belt. i rarely agree with any of their positions but I will always agree with their right o have them.the walking manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10058913927297370740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5851056198631557096.post-8733646235041958202015-11-28T06:23:53.485-05:002015-11-28T06:23:53.485-05:00Meowmomma you made your point perfectly.

There are many Syrian communities in America that are Christian (so they say) that are against the Muslim refugees coming here, and they will not offer them haven or support.<br /><br />If they don't why should I? Because it is the only answer to an evolving human crisis no different on the face of it than the '04 (?) Tsunami. Not to mention my area, my zip code in Detroit though violent and poverty filled, has plenty of space to be inhabited and repaired. You know as well as I that no religious law will subvert American law and if properly done I say bring them right here as my neighbors, I do not fear them.<br /><br />Bush is the past, he was and still is a moron. But history not yours, mine or your mothers can be changed. so let us move forward in untried directions. Detroit is historically used to immigrants. has been since Ford made his first car.the walking manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10058913927297370740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5851056198631557096.post-57100557583754031822015-11-28T06:17:06.717-05:002015-11-28T06:17:06.717-05:00Vesper, I think that them who are of fighting age ...Vesper, I think that them who are of fighting age who actually make it into the countries taking them in, need be trained up to our military standards and sent back as Arab brigades. Their wives and elderly can remain in place in safety. But I think it is time for the West to stop trying to impose a culture that is not acceptable to Arabs. If Arab forces were to go and fight not only against Daesh but the sectarianism, it might, might just give Israel and its antagonists a chance to sit and bargain in good faith.<br /><br />As fpor the invasion, yes I am sure there are some who will sneak past any border control or vetting, I have no illusions about North America being safe because of our two oceans. On the other hand, I refuse to fear--I have lived and still live a good life, I have done more than some, seen more than others and less than still others. That is how a life is lived, in taking chances on the good and not worrying if you get caught by someone's evil intent. My last vision will be of a green field full of wild flowers and i will lay in it until called forth.<br /><br />peace Vesperthe walking manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10058913927297370740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5851056198631557096.post-67364243630853699852015-11-28T06:10:27.448-05:002015-11-28T06:10:27.448-05:00kj, letting the actions of others dictate to me wh...kj, letting the actions of others dictate to me where or how I stand is never going to happen. people who don't like my position or place can pass me by or in general kiss my ass. I understand what you are saying about White America being afraid even more than usual, within 20 years we will no longer be a majority population in this country. Which is fine with me, i only hope that women of all shades take the fuck over to stop all this damned violence the world is so used to. <br /><br />love you too kiddo.the walking manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10058913927297370740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5851056198631557096.post-82702328734714005762015-11-28T06:06:54.722-05:002015-11-28T06:06:54.722-05:00Never hesitate shadow to iterate your position. I ...Never hesitate shadow to iterate your position. I understand it intellectually by reading about the Brits and the problem they have with immigrants and the new European in flux. Here in the Detroit metro area we have the largest Arab community outside the Middle East, they have basically taken over Dearborn MI in the past 40 years but there is no bullshit about circumventing American law, and all cultural crimes are prosecuted as crimes against US law. On the other hand there have been many "Christian" protesters who's rights to free speech in that community have been upheld, including them carrying a pigs head on a pike during a yearly Arab festival. <br /><br />The next year they chose to not hold their festival. Here cultures and communities from all over the world have self segregated but trumping all is American law. the walking manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10058913927297370740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5851056198631557096.post-76163332419110730342015-11-25T05:30:22.857-05:002015-11-25T05:30:22.857-05:00i hesitate to say this, but 'refugees' tha...i hesitate to say this, but 'refugees' that come into a country (any country, anywhere in the world) and then expect that country to change and adapt to their beliefs (or religion), is not a refugee in my eyes, but an infiltrator.Shadowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05999801833389058410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5851056198631557096.post-84438532068713980742015-11-22T13:36:56.675-05:002015-11-22T13:36:56.675-05:00i hope you send this letter to the new york times ...i hope you send this letter to the new york times and the washington post and to CNN and even to fox. your point is so excellent there's nothing i can even single out. the point about nationality and not religion is so obvious when you say it.<br /><br />yesterday as donald trump was high fiving his supporters who kicked the black protester at a trump rally in alabama, i had my own insight. white supremacy. that's what's changed in america, and the very strong white position in the world is changing every which way. that creates fear, but before fear comes tightening the hatches and pointing fingers. i'm sad for all of it.<br /><br />thanks, mark<br />love<br />kj<br /><br />kjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15122196887043345981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5851056198631557096.post-1498099437593539302015-11-21T12:53:38.280-05:002015-11-21T12:53:38.280-05:00Good article, Mark.

Islam seems to have more that it's fair share of fanatics! for sure.. Of course, here in America we have born again, poison drinking, snake handling, washed in the blood of the lamb, evangelical, bible thumping, certifiable crazy bastards! Of course, they haven't killed anybody (to my knowledge) since they quit hanging black people by the light of a burning cross! But it wouldn't take much to get them fired up again!
