So far to date I have avoided talking about Religion and how it plays a role in Caledonia and in spreading of hate within the Native Community.

Allow me first to state my own personal beliefs, which I have avoided to do because many groups are quick to use the racist card to make themselves look like victims.

I was raised a complete Atheist and became a Christian in my early twenties. I am not a Christian because my parents were but because I chose to be one. As such my beliefs are part of who Gary McHale is and in no way should be understood that somehow I am perfect (clearly I have character flaws) or better than anyone else.

I will admit that I have zero understanding of Native spiritual beliefs and next to zero about Muslim beliefs. However, I believe my own understanding of Christianity and human nature permits me to cover the topic at hand.

Every group has it's own Extremists - whether these groups are based on Race, Religion, etc., human nature appears to be that there always will be some who see themselves as supreme which then is taken to the extreme.

What do I mean by Extremists

In fact, we see Religious people as hypocrites when we see actions that don't match what we believe these people should be doing. We expect Religous people to be devoted and to act based on that devotion.

That being said, to me the idea of Extremists, or should I say how I see Extremism manifesting itself is when people who hate use Religion to justify their hatred which then leads to violence. These are the people who would hate whether or not they had any religious views because that is the way they see life and the world - Religion is added to make themselves feel better and to give their cause some moral basis for their hatred.

By my view Extremism by definition hijacks their religious belief system to further their hatred and cause. When this occurs it is easy to paint all people who hold a particular religious view as being the same.

The very fact that right at the beginning of the Bible it states God created all men in His image shows just how quickly these people of hate refuse to accept what they claim to believe.

As a Christian I can state without any problem that these people will not see heaven since they reject the very teachings they claim to follow.

Native Extremists = Warriors & Horn & Hill

It is easy for people to identify Christian Extremists (KKK) and Muslim Extremists (Bin Laden) but for many there is no such thing as Native Extremists. Since no one group is perfect and human nature itself is such that there will be some in every group who hate, then logic forces us to accept that there would be Extremists within Native groups.

The fact that Native people cannot see that there are Native Extremists only points to how serious the issue is. Go back 100 years and ask the people of the deep south in the US whether the KKK was a Christian Extremist group or not. I am sure the vast majority would have said no. When Extremists control the culture then the situation is completely out of control.

This is the way it is within the Native community today. The few who have their own hatred, their own political agenda, their own power struggles have hijacked Native Spiritual beliefs to justify spreading violence and hatred.

Jesus once said, "you will know them by their fruits" or in modern words, "Actions speak louder than words". To claim to follow something called "Great Peacemaker" while your group attacks seniors, burns down a bridge, attempts to murder a cop is hypocracy at the highest level.

It is like the KKK hanging a black man just after the preacher quotes Jesus telling people to love their neighbor.

The problem is so pervasive at this moment of history that many Canadians and the Government are not seeing that Native Extremists as just as bad as Muslim Extremists. Everyone reading this would see that if a Muslim group dug up the highway, blocked railway lines, destroyed the power station, attacked residents and attempted to kill a cop the Government would immediately declare them a terrorist cell and arrest everyone one of them. And certainly if a group of peope claiming to be KKK did these actions they would be arrested before the end of the day.

But just like the deep south 100 years ago, our governments & police forces have been influenced by the Native Extremist propaganda of hate and threats of violence.

It is like listening to a speech by the KKK and how all Blacks & Jews are the devil.

Hazel Hill just stated, "It takes bravery to take all that racist provocation that was hurled at us by the state and their hired guns like the KKK, skinheads and rioters and 'porky pig’s' navy... They tried to provoke, intimidate and constantly threatened to kill the men, women and children."

Where is this 'constant' threat to 'kill the men, women and children." In fact she cannot quote one time that anyone has made this threat.

But in the twisted world of hate, where racism is backed up with your religious views, then one sees the world and others as being completely evil.

She then states, "We cannot get our freedom by violence and murder." Hello Hazel, the Natives have been using violence in Caledonia since April and in Ipperwash for 15 years.

Kahentinetha Horn calls Jim Prentice, "Jim “Jonestown” Prentice" and then proceeds to compare Jim Prentice to the killing of 1000 people near Jonestown by Jim Jones.

Thene you have Hazel Hill using the phrase "Porky Pig's navy" or Timmer calling me a 'disease' and a 'cancer' that must be removed.

True Extremists, who are driven by their hatred, must attack the person, must dehumanize people for their brand of racism to spread.

You will not find one story by me where I call Hazel Hill anything but Hazel Hill. Regardless of her actions and beliefs she is still a human being and, as a Christian created in the image of God, I cannot attack her person in order to dehumanize her. I can only draw attention to her for her actions and her hate propaganda that she spreads but she is still Hazel Hill.
