And isn't it just ducky that you're safe in Canada. But tell me. How many of your compatriots support terrorism in other countries? And don't tell me none, it's a known fact that Canadian as well as U.S. citizens send money home to the IRA.

Please, do not believe that all Americans are either paranoid, stupid, or
complacent. I for one have kept up a consistent campaign of writing to my elected "representatives" on subjects such as Homeland Security (what a name!), the war in Iraq, and any number of issues. In return I usually get form letters, and they still vote against my hopes. What to do? I didn't vote for this administration. Emigrate? Apathy? I wish I had an answer. And don't think Canada will always be safe - that's what the US thought. I feel that any western nation is now at risk. But we do need to try to keep talking to each other and understand our differences, and respect them. Or alas we will be no better than those we fear. And of course, keep on keeping on. It is tough not to be afraid, but one has to get up each day and try to do the very best one can, in every arena. Just one more opinion in this newgroup. Thank goodness we have each other!

Of course there are Canadians who support terrorists. My only point is that of all the various terrorists in the world today, most of them only operate against institutions in their own countries; the Basques in Spain; the Tamils in Sre Lanka; the IRA in the UK; the Quebec separatists in Canada; etc. The one menace which targets people (and friends) from western democracies all over the world, are Muslim fundamentalists. That Canada is on their target list, I have no doubt. Just like Bali, and all the other places they have bombed. -- Jim Cripwell.

Thank you. I'm glad to know there's somebody besides me who is
"regularly writing elected representatives". Unfortunately, the current government has used so much "fear" that little will change in the next election. There are not enough of us who listen to a wide variety of opinions, news sources. I heard a gentleman on Wisc. Pub Radio the other day. It just floors me when, given facts backed up by facts, he slid easily into his "belief system" set up by Washington after 9/11.

The FLQ who put bombs in mail boxes were not Muslim Jim. And they sure scared the bejebes out of me. Air India was not bombed by Muslims. The majority of passengers on board were Canadian citizens. Narrowing our fears and focus to one group does not make Canada a safer place. Ruby Your are missing my point Ruby. You are absolutely correct. The vast majority of terrorists operate locally. The FLQ operated in Canada; the Sikhs went after Canadian passengers; the IRA operate in the UK; the Palestinians operate a short distance from where they live; etc. You dont find the FLQ doing things in the UK. The IRA dont go to Indonesia. The Tamils dont operate in the USA. Only fundamentalist Muslims operate on a world wide basis, targeting their enemy the USA, and its friends. People in their own countries may need to be afraid of local terrorists, but the only terrorists to be feared on a world wide basis are fundamentalist Muslims. This may be too absolute a statement, but if you can find me a counter example, I will be very interested. -- Jim Cripwell.

(F.James
Cripwell) ..... Your are missing my point Ruby. You are absolutely correct. The vast majority of terrorists operate locally. ...... Only fundamentalist Muslims operate on a world wide basis, targeting their enemy the USA, and its friends. ....... People in their own countries may need to be afraid of local terrorists, but the only terrorists to be feared on a world wide basis are fundamentalist Muslims. ............ From: stitcher obviously I did miss your point. My point is terrorists are not restricted to Muslim fundamentalists. ...... So shall we deport all muslims, restrict imigration to white christians?? protestant or catholic? ..... What part of "the only terrorists to be feared on a world wide basis are fundamentalist Muslims" is it that you don't understand? Regardless of deportation or immigration policies in countries around the world, Jim's statement is TRUE. If you are going to discuss or refute statements that Jim might have posted about immigration and deportation, would you please quote them in your response? CiaoMeow ^;;^ ..

A friend has informed me that according to prophesy and Revelations the end of
the world will be in the year 2012 and that I have 8 years to come to God before the end. I told her that God is already part of my life and I don't need to come to Him since i am already there I read a tract the other day stating that 1914 was the year of the start of the end, and that's why we're having all the wars and pestilence, etc. etc. My goodness, do any of these people read about all the wars and pestilence in history? It didn't just start in 1914. |
