Ramadan Celebration

In the city of Oak Lawn, IL, District 122 allowed for the celebration of ramadan at their schools, along side traditional celebrations of halloween and christmas. How great is our country, that people can leave their own countries of tyranny and oppression, where in some places it is a crime to even own a bible, places where woman are second class citizens, and have the freedom to be here and live in peace, and impose the same culture that perpetuated the original tyranny and oppression! You gotta love the good ole USA!
Jesus once said to us "How is it that you do not understand?" (Mark 8:21), and those words ring so true today. No one is saying that people cant celebrate what they want in this country, but this is the beginning of the deterioration of the fabric of our society. Lets take the hispanic community for example.
And before anyone can say anything, in have no problem with immigration, and i happen to be hispanic myself. Please read on to see the point i am going to make. It has nothing to do with illegal immigration.
Hispanics, particular mexicans, started to migrate to this country for jobs, just like everyone else. Quite a bit of culture shock for both sides, due to the fact that america was primarily of european descent. Anyhow, to get to the ends, the hispanics in our country have set up their own communities, once with its own borders, but now have expanded and broken these imaginary borders. Hispanics dwell within other communities, integrating themselves into what some people may consider the "mainstream community". All together, just as a big "melting pot", which was a basis of forming this country in the first place. No problemos.
That is not what you see with the muslim community. They want separation. They do not intend to integrate into our community, the american community. The whole thing in oak lawn started because the school lunches contained jello, and they did not want to be around it cause the product contains pork. And again, they wanted to be separated during their ramadan, because of the fasting that is involved.
Look, i am no rocket scientist. An I am sure anyone can expound on this. But you see the culture "shock" that these people want to impose on the country. Lets be real. There has to be some form of assimilation when you are entering a foreign country. Especially when you are coming to take advantage of the liberties that the new country offers. That is not happening. And we can speculate what will happen if this continues and prevent any negative consequences, or we can just continue to wait and "see what happens".
In my deeply humble opinion, i think that the old adage applies: if it isn't broken, dont fix it. And we see that in the schools. We have been for years celebrating christmas in schools because of the FACT that this is a christian country, and now other religions want a part in it. And i think that muslims pose a threat because the want to dominate. Yet if we go to an arab country and start talking about "how come we cant celebrate christmas?", they will surely let us build churches. And then blow them up.
Cant you see? Cant you hear? I used to think, when americans would say that this country is going to hell, "what country are you talking about?". Now I know it was the United States.
