Both the American and Canadian governments have betrayed their countries and the people by putting out the opinions that the Islamic/muslims people, somehow, deserve our respect. Whatever!! Respect is a thing that is earned not handed out like a gift. North America, in reality, was far better off before these people started arriving in droves. Their backgrounds weren't adequatly checked, 'visitors' never left, and the illegals are monumentus. That's not even counting the 'refugees' and 'political asylums' that have been allowed here. Ones we need even less than the 'legals'. How many of them have been here for more than 10 years and still can't speak enough english to call a fire department? MOST. How many have bothered to take lessons in the language of this continent? Only the ones that had to know the language, that's how many. Unless they come here wiling to become North American they have NO business here at all! That our government build them mosques is pathetic. That they bring them in droves for the possible vote is pathetic. That they are willing to toss our ways and customs out like last weeks garbage is pathetic. Translated, pathetic is BETRAYAL.

To us, our values, our customs, and everything else we hold dear. Isn't it soooo nice to have leaders so willing to allow that?! It's time we took back what is ours and got rid of anyone that doesn't like it. I, for one, feel that the 10 commandments are the rules to live by and to follow them will keep one on the right track. I'm not religious but I am a Christian. As a Christian, I read, hear, and see what Islam is and cringe. It's everything I don't believe in. I have no wish to surrender my freedoms, my rights as a human being, or my beliefs for a religion that teaches hatred, violence, intolerance, terrorism, and outright murder!
