and settle down, why can we not accept these people with open arms and accept that they believe life in this country is better from where they immigrated from?

The other factor people seem to forget and ignore is that many of our Kings and Queens were from countries not of this Western World and came from Europe and farther? Immigration has always occurred from the working classes right up to the highest of upper class citizens.

In the bible it also states in the Old Testament that we all used to speak one language but when the Tower of Babel was being built, God gave us all separate languages because communication meant that the Tower of Babel was getting to close to heaven and God did not want this. As they could no longer all speak the same language they joined up with people who did speak the same language and this is how we came to go our separate ways. So who knows but God and the writers of the Old Testament what language was originally spoken and I bet it wasn't British it would most likely have been Aramaic as most of the Bible is set in the Middle East of the world.

It is also a general consensus from Scientists that we evolved from Africa and the Middle East and then spread all over the world, so if this were to be true the Bibles version or the Scientists version, take your pick, we all would have stemmed from the Middle East in one way or another anyway and why does it even matter if we did?

Why do people have to get so dogged about their roots and their origins, we are all here on the planet at the same time, we should embrace this and think about how amazing it is the diversity and how beautiful it is that there are so many different people out there and that through society and nature and nurture no matter what society, county or country you come from we all have our own traditions and rituals in some form or another.

This should not be an issue for people, it should not stem so much hate, cruelty and ignorance in the world, we should spend time to get to know our brothers and sisters as we are all connected in one way or another dating back through thousands of years, population has only increased through time so surely at some point our ancestors right back from the beginning of time would have aided us with having connections with so many more people than we know.

It is also due to the likes of the BNP and racial hate groups that racism is a problem and will be a problem until we fight against this and point out the error of their ways and encourage them to see what everyone else can see and to look at our roots.
