I wonder why in the The Book of Revelations it says that the Beast will start chopping off the heads of Christians;
"Those BEHEADED for their testimony",

How soon do we get to this part? Not that Christians ever used their heads for anything.
I am surprised at myself for my glee at President's Trump's leading the free world

Well saying as we're quoting the Bible.
Matthew 25:31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 And he will place the sheep on his right, but the goats on the left. 34 Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, 36 I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’ 37 Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? 38 And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? 39 And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ 40 And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’

We're allowing people who are 100 years behind our mentality in to our western societies.

more like 500 years, not sure that 100 years back it was socially excepted to burn people in cages, rape children, throw "suspected" gay people off buildings, call for world wide domination with forced values that go against most human wants..
But then 100 years ago you did not have a bunch of regressive left liberals that where happy to constantly find excuse to say this type of behaviour is somehow ok.
The funniest and most absurd thing I have read was that by Trump having the "muslim" ban it will create more radicals, I read that as "cannot get own way so will retaliate with something disproportionate", yep that is a great trait to have in someone within a open society....

Just curious .. when you see the homeless and hungry .. do you stop to give them drink? Have you opened up spare rooms in your own home for syrian or other Arabic refugees? Unless you have sold all your posessions and given to these poor than you better not be quoting that text of the bible.
Thats as bad as the vatican suggesting the poor help the poor while they sit on all their assets.😕

I've said it before and I will say it again. We're allowing people who are 1000 years behind our mentality in to our western societies. It's a lovely idea, but it's recipe for disaster. We're not ready for an open, free world. as lovely as it sounds.

I am having a wonderful time. I expect it will be short lived. For the first time in many years I laugh and even dance around the room when I read the news in the morning.
President Trump is very refreshing

I agree, their customs are different than ours and we have to slowly let these people in so they can adapt to our societies. If we do not do this then all we have done is create settlements of people that are different than us and tensions increase between the people on both sides. Look at the China towns around the country, those kinds of areas do not promote togetherness, they promote separation and discrimination more than civility. Here we have some Chinese living among us, they learned to fit into our society and they start restaurants for us to go eat at.
The Muslims that are citizens can help us to integrate these new people slowly into our societies, they can help to teach us of our ways. They have to learn to respect our citizens and we have to learn to work with them to keep things civil. Right now, too many people are being immigrated too fast, this puts stress on the Muslims that are here already too because some of these new ones do not understand our ways and are not adjusting correctly, I don't wants to increase violence against the Muslims that are good people, slow is better than fast. If people push to give these Muslims more rights to get in unrestricted, the radicals on the other side will get fired up and kill good Muslims. Look what happened in Quebec, we need not fuel growth of the other radical side by forcing people to choose between two radical movements. It will happen, these radical liberals will actually cause more to go the other way and make things worse.
