Anyone who has had any conversation with me knows how hot I get when it comes to the illegal immigration issues that have been in our faces lately. I am quite opinionated when it comes to what I think about the situation. Depending on who you are....I sound like a crazy racist, or a lunatic.....maybe one or two people think I make any sense. Then, I watched this lady on C-SPAN2 today who makes me look more diplomatic than Jimmy Carter!
This woman is going on and on about the radical Islamic craziees in the world. She's got a lot of facts and figures HOWEVER...this lady is ready to not allow ANY Muslim in the country, and throw those that are already here into some sort of determent camp (she's not saying this specifically, but man, she's going nuts!) The amount of hate coming from her "educated" speech is amazing. While some of what she says is quite valid, she seems to think she's going to be able to get the govt. to stop the spread of radical Islam in this and any other country!
My thoughts through this speech are that no matter who you are or what religion, one can spread fear, hate, and irrational ideology very easily. Sometimes people get brushed off with only negatively affecting a few lives....others have an affect that ripples to thousands, million, or more. I am sadden we live in a world where people JUST can't seem to get along unless they look, think, and act alike......and then I wonder if that's not on purpose. From a spiritual scope of it (not to be obnoxious), the tower of babel was built, and the gospel reaching "every tribe and tongue" is thought to be a sign of the end times to most evangelical Christians. Which means God separated people, then made it a big deal when His word would reach from one people group to another despite language and geographical barriers. Therefore, in all my loving other cultures and people.....had man not been of conquering nature....would we even know each other the way we do now? I mean, would I be married to a Pakistani, or would my friend be half white, half Filipino, or another half Irish, half Mexican? Basically, aside from those carrying God's word, wouldpeople have come together.......therefore, is it inherent since the fall of man that we aren't going to get along?
