Kia Ora means good day in the Maori language

I do not know of any democratic governments who find 'pleasure' in killing their own, sounds rather paranoid to me. We don't actually have Fox news here and I do know the the conspiracy theories of 9/11.

My knowledge of Islam is, in fact, from reading - the Koran, the Hadeeth, the Sira, Reliance of the Traveller and much more - if you want to call those twisted and biased, please feel free. In fact - I even agree with you.

We have complete eqality and freedom of speech here, could you guarantee that under a caliphate? Even the Prophet PBUH had those who spoke against him killed.

But I see you are in Canada - how convenient for you - you can live in a democracy which will defend your personal security , right to free speech, human rights and all the other good things that come with democracy. Good luck with your citizenship, having been to Canada many times I understand your choice.

Kia Kaha (good luck) Ms Kiwi (sister)
