In which I receive a crazy anti-Muslim letter

Some readers got very upset by my suggestion in last week’s Mormon Times column that Muslims – not government officials or voters at large – should be the ones to decide whether to build a Mosque two and a half blocks from Ground Zero in New York. By far the best e-mail I got was the following. (I removed his name and e-mail address to protect his identity.)

What’s your favorite part?

Mr. Coppins.

After reading your article I wonder what side of the planet you reside on. You are either extremely naive, extremely lacking in knowledge, extremely young, or maybe all three, that you should wonder why New Yorkers, and other Americans, have contempt for Muslims. You just don’t get it! You don’t understand one iota of who or what these people are, or what they represent. The one unfortunate thing is that you can’t tell a good one from a bad one so they all have to bear the brunt of being disliked and mistrusted. You don’t have a clue as to whether there is a cell of them on your street and they are plotting something deadly against America, do you Mr. Coppins? You don’t know if that Muslim riding on the subway with you or selling you groceries has plans with others Islamics to blow up the subway at some point, do you Mr. Coppins? That is the reality of things today. I didn’t decide to just not trust them. They decided that for me when they committed murder in America, and sticking our heads in the sand, pretending that they are a bunch of “nice guys” won’t change the facts.

We are not talking about a ”few misguided” Islamics here. We are talking about a country of Islam that has no respect for people, a nation that worships the monster Mohammed, and has a lot of hatred for America and it’s people. Their whole ideology is to wipe out the free countries of the world, either by controlling them or annihilating them. Were our military not in the middle east, preserving our freedom, Americans would be outnumbered, overrun and controlled by Islam.

In case you missed it, they came into our country and declared war on the American people by killing thousands of us. Americans, Mr. Coppins, our people, your people, innocent men and women, Fire Fighters, and Policemen, who thought when they got up that morning they would have a normal day like any other.

This was the second attempt, Mr. Coppins and it was very successful, and probably will not be the last attempt.

As far as Sarah Palin is concerned she is only appealing to these people to be empathetic to the feelings of the families of those lost at Ground Zero. She is not out to incite anything, nor is what she says inflammatory. It’s obvious that you have not suffered a great deal with personal loss or you might speak differently about her remarks.

The families of these victims of war should not attend this site and have to put up with looking at a building created by the very monsters who killed their loved ones. Ground Zero is a memorial to those heroes and innocents who died there. You miss the whole point of these Muslims wanting that site in the first place. How better to show your contempt and hatred for a people (Americans) than to rub their noses in your (Islam) victory over them? And 9/11 was a victory for Islam. This is what it is all about Mr. Coppins, but you, and Mayor Bloomberg, and a few thousand others in New York miss the point entirely. New Yorkers aren’t “anxious, scared, or angry”. Nor are they bigots. They are being betrayed by those Americans who make the decisions to let the enemy camp in their backyard. It isn’t the building but the location that is hurting the people. Put it somewhere else and there won’t be much said about it.

I think you need an education concerning Islam before you print any kind of editorial about them. This is not a small religious sect, Mr. C. but a whole nation of war mongers. Read about them: their beliefs, the way they treat their women, raise their boys, (the girls don’t mean much to them except as maids, breeders, and chattels), what they think of Mohammed, and how they murder their own people for the slightest infractions. They don’t care a twig about you, your family, or your God given rights. There is also an Islamic President in the White House, a president who for 20 years attended a church that spouted hatred for the whites of America, which should concern you a great deal. It does me.

‘Google’ Islam, watch and listen to Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh, read “The Message” by Lance Richardson, and when you have done all of this, then you can tell me I don’t know what I am talking about. I hate war, but if and when it happens to us it must be dealt with on the same level as it comes to us. America is at war every day within it’s borders and it is only going to get uglier. This ”mosque” thing is a small part of the war with an anti-christ on the soil of the greatest nation in the world. America had better stand up and protect her land and her way of life or it may be taken from her. These few New Yorkers are doing just that….speaking out for their way of life and their rights against an enemy.

P.S. As a Latter-day Saint you should speak out in the defence of your people and country, not defend the those who would destroy you and America.

By the way, you can read the original column here.
