I AM AN ASS

I am an ass. Many already know this.

I am an ass with opinions.

The biggest reason I am an ass is my total lack of realizing how I succumbed to the media frenzy and coffee shop banter regarding the global refugee crisis.

So, simply put, I do not believe ALL Muslims are barbaric pedophile animals.  

When you see or read my rants concerning Muslims, I am referring to the RADICAL, EXTREMISTS and the refugees who use “Allah” and their so-called “faith” as an excuse to blatantly commit crimes.

I am referring to those who beg to come to a foreign country claiming they no longer want to live the lifestyle of their homeland.  Upon arrival as “refugees” they immediately begin playing the prejudice card and demanding the HOST country change THEIR TRADITIONS AND VALUES to accommodate their lifestyles.  The very lifestyles they are supposedly fleeing.

I am referring to the RADICAL Islamics who tell the very people who are attempting to help them that they will soon be squashed like bugs and obliterated. “Death to all infidels”.

I am an ass.

I am an ass who if I were seeking refugee status in any country I would gladly assimilate to THEIR ways and traditional lifestyle.  

Why would I carry the oppression and violence with me to a new life? 

LET US SIMPLIFY THIS BY EXPLAINING IT THIS WAY  ……………………………..

MARY IS IN A VERY VIOLENT, ABUSIVE MARRIAGE.  SHE DECIDES, AFTER YET ANOTHER SEVERE BEATING, TO SEEK ASYLUM IN A BATTERED WOMEN’S SHELTER. 

THE SHELTER TELLS HER,  ‘WE WILL PROTECT AND SHELTER YOU. BUT, YOU MUST ABIDE BY THE RULES OF OUR INSTITUTION’.

SO, MARY ARRIVES WITH HER CHILDREN AND ALL THE BELONGINGS SHE COULD CARRY.

THE SHELTER IS COUNSELING AND ASSISTING MARY.

MARY DEMANDS THAT THEY ALLOW HER ABUSIVE HUSBAND TO COME LIVE IN THE SHELTER WITH HER. SHE ACCUSES THE SHELTER OF RACISM FOR NOT ALLOWING HER TO LIVE AS SHE DID IN THE ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIP. “

Should the shelter change it’s rules and allow Mary to live as she was before, but, under the roof of an institution whose core values are totally against such a violent lifestyle? 

My beef is not with Muslims or Islamic faiths in general.  

My problem is with the terrorists, the extremists and those who use the guise of religion to hide murder, dishonesty and pedophilia.  Those who truly believe that all Jewish, Catholic, Protestants and basically all “non – Muslim” are to be brutally murdered. 

Those who believe it is ok to cane and whip women. Those who believe it is Allah’s wish to sell children and have sex with mere babies. 

I am furious that Islamic terrorists are using “RELIGION” as a basis for their insane mission to destroy us.

I am curious that the majority of refugees are males between the ages of nineteen and forty-five. Oddly, the average ages for soldiers.  Soldiers who should be at home fighting for their lifestyle and ways of living.

Refugees should be women and children, the wounded and elderly. Not young men running amuck in gang fashion terrorizing the very people who are attempting to help them. 

So, to all you Muslims who live peacefully amongst their fellow humans, I say thank you for being human.

To all you Islamic terrorists and Muslims who are hiding their true agendas, “Stay in your homeland.  Rape and kill your own people.  Don’t bring your barbaric lifestyles to my home.”

In these modern ages, mankind must realize that all religions are merely groups of people looking for a some normalcy and meaning in life.

Religion and politics should never mix. Yet, religion is politics.  Politics are a religion. Both are gangs of people who believe their way is the only way.

Until we can learn to understand that hatred and jealousy can bring no good. Until we all can comprehend that you cannot kill me  just because I don’t believe what you may believe – until we can look at each other as just “humans” – until that day, many years from now, we will still just be predatory animals bound to destroy each other.

Humans are infantile creatures of Earth. We are still evolving into what the Creator’s had envisioned we should become. 

But, evolution is as slow as a grandmother making her morning tea.

And we live in a world running like a high speed train going downhill in an ice storm.

Unless we change our CORE VALUES we will soon be squashed by nature.

Human nature – the most horrific of all natures.

I remain, Dann – just as I am.

  1. Sadly, the distinction you are making often falls on deaf ears. We’re such a binary, all or nothing culture.

    I lived in Fremont, CA for a while, and it had an amazing diversity of faiths represented, including Islam. Never an issue. I got along fine w/ my Muslim neighbors, and those of other faiths. We worked together, played together.

    At same time, I’m as angry at (and scared of) the terrorists as anyone. I can’t control a person’s beliefs, But if their actions violate what we feel are basic human rights like equality, free speech, etc., then I say we don’t budge. Religious beliefs, be they Christian, Muslim, Hebrew, etc., should not dictate any change in our adherence to those human rights.

    Not sure if that rant relates any more to your powerful post, but there it is. As alway, thx for sharing–oh, and I can’t speak for others, but I don’t think you’re an ass 🙂
    Peace.

    1. Thank you and I am in total agreement with your rant. I live in Toronto,Canada which is a very diversified city with many cultures. Sure, prejudice was always around, but the division bell has wrung and since 9/11 hatred and violence has grown here. Now with the arrival of so many refugees and the actions and demands that they are bringing with them our once beautiful nation is becoming VERY divided and my biggest fear is that civil unrest may soon destroy all that makes us Canadian. Our so-called leader is the true ass. He has no experience with the common man – he is riding on the coat tails of his socialist father and crazy mother and if my fellow countrymen do not get him and his cronies out of office then Canada will soon become the armpit of the western world.

      1. The unrest is scary, and leaders who don’t want to face the causes of unrest only increases the divide and fear…

        I don’t know the solution, other than voting the bums out, and that means that we keep talking, keep raising the issues, keep exposing the their ideas to the sunshine so they can be clearly seen and critiqued.

        The damn problem is, we don’t respond all that well to logic. Logic doesn’t change minds–at least not as an opening approach. I gotta write blog piece on this so I can think it through, but part of the solution is communicating in ways that will be heard…I got a lot more thinking to do. Thx again for your thoughts. I’m learning a lot. Peace.
