What do you think?)&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; This is very interesting and we all need to read it from start to finish And send it on to everyone.&amp;nbsp; Maybe this is why our Canadian Muslims are So quiet and not speaking out about any atrocities.&amp;nbsp; Can a Muslim be A good Canadian?&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; This question was forwarded to a friend who worked in Saudi Arabia for 20 years. The following is his reply:&lt;br&gt; Theologically - no. . . . Because his allegiance is to Allah, The moon God of Arabia .&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;font size="+1" color="#000000"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;font size="+1" color="#000000"&gt;Religiously - no. . . Because no other religion is accepted by His Allah Except Islam (Quran, 2:256)(Koran)&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Scripturally - no. . . Because his allegiance is to the five Pillars of Islam and the Quran.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Geographically - no . Because his allegiance is to Mecca , to which he Turns in prayer five times a day.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Socially - no. . . Because his allegiance to Islam forbids him to make Friends with Christians or Jews .&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Politically - no. . . Because he must submit to the mullahs (spiritual Leaders), who teach annihilation of Israel and destruction of America , The great Satan.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;font size="+1" color="#000000"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;font size="+1" color="#000000"&gt;Domestically - no. .. . Because he is instructed to marry four Women and Beat and scourge his wife when she disobeys him (Quran 4:34 )&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Intellectually - no. . Because he cannot accept the&amp;nbsp;Canadian Constitution since it is based on Biblical principles and he believes the Bible to be corrupt.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;font size="+1" color="#000000"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;font size="+1" color="#000000"&gt;Philosophically - no. . . . Because Islam, Muhammad, and the Koran does Not allow freedom of religion and expression. Democracy and Islam cannot Co-exist. Every Muslim government is either dictatorial or autocratic.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;font size="+1" color="#000000"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;font size="+1" color="#000000"&gt;Spiritually - no. . . Because when we declare 'one nation under God,' The Christian's God is loving and kind, while Allah is NEVER referred to As Heavenly father, nor is he ever called love in the Koran's 99 Excellent names.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Therefore, after much study and deliberation.... Perhaps we should be Very suspicious of ALL MUSLIMS in this country. - - - They obviously Cannot be both 'good' Muslims and good Canadians.&amp;nbsp; Call it what you wish it's still the truth. You had better believe it. The more who understand This, the better it will be for our country and our future.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The religious war is bigger than we know or understand. ....&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Footnote: The Muslims have said they will destroy us from within. SO FREEDOM IS NOT FREE.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; THE MARINES WANT THIS TO ROLL ALL OVER THE U.S. &amp;amp; Canada.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;font size="+1" color="#000000"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;font size="+1" color="#000000"&gt;Please don't delete this until you send it on.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2185160528669761256-8258534505225232930?l=canadians-speakup.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://canadians-speakup.blogspot.com/feeds/8258534505225232930/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2185160528669761256/posts/default/8258534505225232930'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2185160528669761256/posts/default/8258534505225232930'/><author><name>picsman</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2185160528669761256.post-8403336300769383909</id><published>2009-12-31T13:40:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2010-07-24T14:13:33.874-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Fwd: Ca - na - da (Priceless!)</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="+1"&gt;Some old, some new&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;font size="+1"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;font size="+1" color="#00007F"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Just had to forward this one!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" size="+2" color="#000080"&gt;Now that&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size="+2" color="#000080"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font face="Helvetica"&gt;Vancouver&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font face="Helvetica"&gt;will be hosting&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font face="Helvetica"&gt;the 2010 Winter&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size="+2" color="#0000FF"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" size="+2" color="#000080"&gt;Olympics, these are some questions people from all over the world are asking.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size="+2" color="#000080"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" size="+2" color="#000000"&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" size="+2" color="#000080"&gt;Believe it or not these questions about&amp;nbsp;Canada&amp;nbsp;were posted&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size="+2" color="#0000FF"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" size="+2" color="#000080"&gt;on an International Tourism Website.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" size="+2" color="#000000"&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size="+2" color="#000000"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" size="+2" color="#000080"&gt;Obviously the answers are a&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size="+2" color="#0000FF"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" size="+2" color="#000080"&gt;joke; but the questions were really asked!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" size="+2" color="#000000"&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size="+2" color="#000000"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font face="Helvetica"&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" size="+2" color="#008000"&gt;Q:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size="+2" color="#0000FF"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" size="+2" color="#008000"&gt;I have never seen it warm on Canadian TV, so how do the plants grow?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size="+2" color="#0000FF"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" size="+2" color="#008000"&gt;(&amp;nbsp;England&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" size="+2" color="#000000"&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" size="+2" color="#808000"&gt;A.

This is one ticked off lady.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'Are we fighting a war on terror or aren't we? Was it or was it not started by Islamic people who brought it to our shores on September 11, 2001 and have continually threatened to do so since?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Were people from all over the world, not brutally murdered that day, in downtown Manhattan , across the Potomac from the nation's capitol and in a field in Pennsylvania ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Did nearly three thousand men, women and children die a horrible, burning or crushing death that day, or didn't they?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I'm supposed to care that a few Taliban were claiming to be tortured by a justice system of the nation they come from and are fighting against in a brutal insurgency.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'll start caring when Osama bin Laden turns himself in and repents for incinerating all those innocent people on 9/11.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'll care about the Koran when the fanatics in the Middle East start caring about the Holy Bible, the mere belief of which is a crime punishable by beheading in Afghanistan ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'll care when these thugs tell the world they are sorry for hacking off Nick Berg's head while Berg screamed through his gurgling slashed throat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'll care when the cowardly so-called 'insurgents' in Afghanistan come out and fight like men instead of disrespecting their own religion by hiding in mosques and behind women and children.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana;"&gt;I'll care when the mindless zealots who blow themselves up in search of nirvana care about the innocent children within range of their suicide bombs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'll care when the Canadian media stops pretending that their freedom of speech on stories is more important than the lives of the soldiers on the ground or their families waiting at home to hear about them when something happens.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the meantime, when I hear a story about a CANADIAN soldier roughing up an Insurgent terrorist to obtain information, know this:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't care.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I see a wounded terrorist get shot in the head when he is told not to move because he might be booby-trapped, you can take it to the bank:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't care.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I hear that a prisoner, who was issued a Koran and a prayer mat, and fed 'special' food that is paid for by my tax dollars, is complaining that his holy book is being 'mishandled', you can absolutely believe in your heart of hearts:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't care.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And oh, by the way, I've noticed that sometimes it's spelled 'Koran' and other times 'Quran'. Well, Jimmy Crack Corn you guessed it,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't care!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you agree with this viewpoint, pass this on to all your E-mail friends. &amp;nbsp;Sooner or later, it'll get to the people responsible for this ridiculous behavior!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you don't agree, then by all means hit the delete button. Should you choose the latter, then please don't complain when more atrocities committed by radical Muslims happen here in our great Country! &amp;nbsp;And may I add:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference in the world. But, the Soldiers don't have that problem.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have another quote that I would like to add, AND.......I hope you forward all this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One last thought for the day:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Only five defining forces have ever offered to die for you:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Jesus Christ&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. The British Soldier.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. The Canadian Soldier.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4.

The Australian Soldier&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One died for your soul, the other 4 for your freedom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;YOU MIGHT WANT TO PASS THIS ON, AS MANY SEEM TO FORGET ALL OF THEM.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;AMEN!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2185160528669761256-5282282003959312550?l=canadians-speakup.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://canadians-speakup.blogspot.com/feeds/5282282003959312550/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://canadians-speakup.blogspot.com/2009/12/this-one-packs-firm-punch.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2185160528669761256/posts/default/5282282003959312550'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2185160528669761256/posts/default/5282282003959312550'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://canadians-speakup.blogspot.com/2009/12/this-one-packs-firm-punch.html' title='This one packs a Firm Punch......'/><author><name>picsman</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2185160528669761256.post-3032590135414118894</id><published>2009-12-15T15:05:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2009-12-15T15:05:49.377-08:00</updated><title type='text'>The Pope and Gordon Campbell (Premier of British Columbia)</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;b&gt;Swiped and sharing!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;

I believe it can also save and create jobs in&amp;nbsp;Canada while giving people better customer service.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So how many times have you called a companies service phone line and found that the rep. can barely speak English? Once with a major mortgage company it was so bad I demanded to speak with someone who spoke English. Right at that moment I broke the code, the secret password for customer service.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Come to find out that&amp;nbsp;every American &amp;amp; Canadian company using overseas operators must transfer you to an American/ Canadian&amp;nbsp;rep. By saying.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;"&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;I want to speak to a representative in Canada/ United States".&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;(Don't take no for an answer on this!!)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This was confirmed by the American &amp;amp;

Nowhere or at no other time in our Nation's history, did they sing it in Italian, Japanese, Polish, Irish (Celtic), German, Portuguese, Greek, or any other language  because of immigration. It was written in English, adapted into French, and should be sung  word for word the way it was written&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;div class="mobile-photo"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ingcDhYX5do/SsJO8AJitAI/AAAAAAAAFsg/j2l7_a3c6Tc/s1600-h/image0022+3-776400.jpg"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386954897027675138" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ingcDhYX5do/SsJO8AJitAI/AAAAAAAAFsg/j2l7_a3c6Tc/s320/image0022+3-776400.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;The news broadcasts even gave the Hindi version translation - &lt;i&gt;which was not even close to our National Anthem.&lt;/i&gt; I am not the least bit sorry if this offends ANYONE, this is MY COUNTRY; My Grand Dad served in the military, other family members also served, as well as my wife &amp;amp; I served a combined total of 56 years between us.

Get a sponsor; a place to lay your head; have a job; pay your taxes, live by the Rules AND LEARN THE LANGUAGE as all other immigrants have in the past -- and LONG LIVE CANADA!'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;It's time we all get behind Bruce Allen, and scrap this Political Correctness His comments were anything but racist, however, there are far too many overly sensitive 'New Canadians' that are  attempting to change everything we hold dear.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;ARE you PART OF THE PROBLEM ??? Think about this: If you don't want to forward this for fear of offending someone, will we still be the Country of Choice and Still be CANADA if we continue to make the changes forced on us by the people from other countries who have come to live in  CANADA because it is the Country of Choice??????&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Think about it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;div class="mobile-photo"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ingcDhYX5do/SsJO8kTVF5I/AAAAAAAAFso/24N6prWPt24/s1600-h/ca_flag-778537.gif"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386954906732402578" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ingcDhYX5do/SsJO8kTVF5I/AAAAAAAAFso/24N6prWPt24/s320/ca_flag-778537.gif" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span&gt;IMMIGRANTS, NOT CANADIAN'S, MUST ADAPT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span&gt;It's Time for CANADIANS to speak up..

letter)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So many letter writers have explained how this land is made up of immigrants.&lt;br /&gt;May be we should turn to our history books and point out to people why today's Canadian is not willing to accept the new kind of immigrant any longer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Back in 1900 when there was a rush from all areas of Europe to come to Canada, people had to get off a ship and stand in a long line in Halifax and be documented.&lt;br /&gt;Some would even get down on their hands and knees and kiss the ground.&lt;br /&gt;They made a pledge to uphold the laws and support their new country in good and bad times.&lt;br /&gt;They made learning English a primary rule in their new Canadian households and some even changed their names to blend in with their new home.&lt;br /&gt;They had waved good bye to their birth place to give their children a new life and did everything in their power to help their children assimilate into one culture.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nothing was handed to them.&lt;br /&gt;No free lunches, no welfare, no labour laws to protect them.&lt;br /&gt;All they had were the skills, craftsmanship and desire they had brought with them to trade for a future of prosperity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most of their children came of age when World War II broke out.&lt;br /&gt;Canadians fought alongside men whose parents had come straight over from Germany, Italy, France, Japan, Czechoslovakia, Russia, Sweden, Poland and so many other places.&lt;br /&gt;None of these first generation Canadians ever gave any thought about what country their parents had come from.&lt;br /&gt;They were Canadians fighting Hitler, Mussolini and the Emperor of Japan .&lt;br /&gt;They were defending the Freedom as one people.&lt;br /&gt;When we liberated France, no-one in those villages was looking for the Ukrainian-Canadian or the German-Canadian or the Irish-Canadian.&lt;br /&gt;The people of France saw only Canadians.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And we carried one flag that represented our country.&lt;br /&gt;Not one of those immigrant sons would have thought about picking up another country's flag and waving it to represent who they were.&lt;br /&gt;It would have been a disgrace to their parents who had sacrificed so much to be here.&lt;br /&gt;These immigrants truly knew what it meant to be a Canadian.&lt;br /&gt;They stirred the melting pot into one red and white bowl.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And here we are in 2009 with a new kind of immigrant who wants the same rights and privileges.&lt;br /&gt;Only they want to achieve it by playing with a different set of rules, one that includes a Canadian passport and a guarantee of being faithful to their mother country.&lt;br /&gt;I'm sorry, that's not what being a Canadian is all about.&lt;br /&gt;Canadians have been very open-hearted and open-minded regarding immigrants, whether they were fleeing poverty, dictatorship, persecution, or whatever else makes us think of those aforementioned immigrants who truly did ADOPT our country, and our flag and our morals and our customs, and left their wars, hatred, and divisions behind.&lt;br /&gt;I believe that the immigrants who landed in Canada in the early 1900's deserve better than that for the toil, hard work and sacrifice those legally searching for a better life.&lt;br /&gt;I think they would be appalled that they are being used as an example by those waving foreign country flags, fighting foreign battles on our soil, making Canadians change to suit their religions and cultures, and wanting to change our countries fabric by claiming discrimination when we do not give in to their demands.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Its about time we get real and stand up for our forefathers rights, we are CANADIAN Lest we forget it!!! I am a Native of this Country and proud of it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NO MORE POLITICAL CORRECTNESS NO MORE not saying CHRISTMAS in stores and our schools! MERRY CHRISTMAS !!! I Want my Canada of birth BACK !!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S.&lt;br /&gt;-- Please pass this on to everyone you know!!!
