I did not criticize the author for the sentiment. He is entitled to be as discriminating as he wishes within his private dealings and decisions. I was, however, wondering if his observations were correct or if they were exaggerated. It seems highly unlikely that Muslims could take over Canada via mass immigration in a matter of a few decades. And if he is just being overly sensitive to change, then I believe he will find Costa Rica a much bigger change than what may be happening in Canada. I suspect his motives for moving to CR may be misguided and, if so, he will end up returning to Canada.
Mr.Oldham has been a missionary to Cuba since 1979, and is very familiar with living with Hispanic people. His next mission to Cuba starts in October. He and his wife contribute over 10% of their own personal income to support a family of eight in Holguin Cuba, and have did so for thirty years. He will have no problem adjusting to the Tico people, as they are much like Cubans, very friendly. Anyone who has been to Cuba knows that Costa Rica is a much easier place to live in, than communist Cuba. Isn’t it strange how people pounce on others who simply “tell it like it is”. Mr.Oldham will have more Tico friends in a year than most Expats make in a decade. His church affiliations in CR will guarantee that.
I too have spent some time in Cuba. If Mr. Oldham has lived in Cuba, he should do quite well in Costa Rica. The fact that he is a missionary, however, causes me to be even more cautious about his objectivity regarding Muslims. Religion poisons everything and clouds judgement. I hope he finds what he is looking for in Costa Rica as long as it doesn’t include more converts.
