Well said my friend! When I gave my opinion, I was not talking of every muslim, pakistani, polish, foreigner and I do not judge them by the colour of
their skin or their nationality but by their actions (how they choose to react) and the general census of their moral fibres.
To give an example, to follow a religion that encourages their follows to kill other people to chase a wonderful afterlife is damn right dangerous,
and scares me to the bitter bone. To know that these people could be my next-door neighbours is abysmal !!
To follow a religion where its taught that husband's should beat their wives and see them as an inferior almost separate species is pathetic. It
scares me how easily these people are influenced and how they believe that violent and disrespectful acts like 'suicide bombing', 'poppy burning'
are RIGHT. They are WRONG and how they can see otherwise is beyond me. I'm not saying people who don't follow that religion are perfect; but you
will not see such a mass majority influenced on such a massive scale in any other religion.
Back onto your point, I completely agree with you. Many people will all have to suffer until the world improves and I don't see this happening any
time soon.
My point is simply that if they choose to migrate to this country, just as you grandmother did from Ireland and just as my Great great grandfather did
from Malta back in the 1800's of the coal mining and shipping era; they should respect our beliefs our way of doing things and not demand for us to
change our ways to suit their religious beliefs.
I would not go to their countries and demand that they no longer wear their Burqa's because they offend MY religion.
Some of our local primary schools have stopped teaching Welsh (our national language in Wales) and have started teaching Arabic instead upon request
of their families as they claim they don't want their children learning Welsh.
The best part... I am a Roman Catholic, I went to a Roman Catholic primary school and had a wonderful learning experience that taught me good morals.
10 years on, I visited my primary school recently, they are no longer allowed to display the crucifix, cross or rosary beads as they will offend
children with Muslim beliefs. I can tell you now that the teacher's are not happy about this and have said that they do not like the changes that
have been made since I attended. The school remains to be called Saint Philip Evans Roman Catholic primary school, but I don't think it should be
called this any more; and that upsets me.
