Hate mail

I received this email from a friend who considers herself a good Christian:

Muslim my BUTT, THIS IS RIGHT ON!!! Except for the "Nasty Title"!

Have you ever seen a Muslim hospital?

Have you heard a Muslim orchestra?

Have you seen a Muslim band march in a parade?

Have you witnessed a Muslim charity?

Have you seen Muslims, shaken hands with a Muslim Girl Scouts?

Have you seen a Muslim Candy Striper?

Have your seen a Muslim do anything that contributes positively to the
American way of life?

The answer is no, you did not. Just ask yourself WHY?

Barack Obama, during his Cairo speech, said: "I know, too, that Islam
has always been a part of America 's history."

AN AMERICAN CITIZEN’S RESPONSE

Dear Mr. Obama:

Were those Muslims that were in America when the Pilgrims first landed?
Funny, I thought they were Native American Indians.

Were those Muslims that celebrated the first Thanksgiving Day?
Sorry again, those were Pilgrims and Native American Indians.

Can you show me one Muslim signature on the: United States Constitution? Declaration of Independence? Bill of Rights? I didn't think so.

Did Muslims fight for this country's freedom from England? No.
Did Muslims fight during the Civil War to free the slaves in America?
No, they did not. In fact, Muslims to this day are still the largest traffickers in human slavery. Your own half-brother, a devout Muslim, still advocates slavery himself, even though Muslims of Arabic descent refer to black Muslims as "pug nosed slaves."

Says a lot of what the Muslim world really thinks of your family's "rich
Islamic heritage," doesn't it Mr. Obama?
Where were Muslims during the Civil Rights era of this country? Not present.
There are no pictures or media accounts of Muslims walking side by side
with Martin Luther King, Jr. or helping to advance the cause of Civil Rights.

Where were the Muslims during this country's Woman's Suffrage era? Again, not present.

In fact, devout Muslims demand that women are subservient to men in the Islamic culture so much so, that often they are beaten for not wearing the 'hajib' or for talking to a man who is not a direct family member or their husband.

Yep, the Muslims are all for women's rights, aren't they?

Where were Muslims during World War II?
They were aligned with Adolf Hitler.

The Muslim grand mufti himself met with Adolf Hitler, reviewed the
troops and accepted support from the Nazi's in killing Jews.

Finally, Mr. Obama, where were Muslims on Sept. 11th, 2001?
If they weren't flying planes into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon
or a field in Pennsylvania killing nearly 3,000 people on our own soil,
they were rejoicing in the Middle East.

No one can dispute the pictures shown from all parts of the Muslim world celebrating on CNN, Fox News, MSNBC and other cable news networks that day.

Strangely, the very "moderate" Muslims who's asses you bent over backwards to kiss in Cairo, Egypt on June 4th were stone cold silent post 9-11.

To many Americans, their silence has meant approval for the acts of
that day.

THAT, Mr. Obama, is the "rich heritage" Muslims have here in America...

Oh, I'm sorry; I forgot to mention the Barbary Pirates. They were Muslims. Now we can add November 5, 2009 -the slaughter of American soldiers at Fort Hood by a Muslim major who is a doctor and a psychiatrist who was supposed to be counseling soldiers returning from battle in Iraq and Afghanistan.

You Know…The one that you have protected.

That, Mr. Obama is the "Muslim heritage" in America

EVERY AMERICAN MUST READ THIS!!

Be sure to SEND IT TO ALL.

Muslim Heritage, my BUTT

3. I've been treated in a "Muslim" hospital by a "Muslim" doctor.

I've listened to Muslim orchestras, seen Muslim parades. Didn't notice any girl scouts or candy stripers in the Muslim nation where I lived, but I didn't go looking for them.

Apparently, this poor stupid twit thinks there's some country called "Muslimia" or something, by the way she talks about everyone who practices Islam and the nations that have Islam as their predominant faith. She apparently also thinks that some "Grand Mufti" tells "all the Muslims" what to do.

This is hilarious in its abject stupidity. This person actually breathes without assistance? Why is this moron your "friend?"

I'd put her on your block mail list if I were you and stop cluttering your computer with that kind of hate-filled stinking tripe. With friends like that you do not need enemies.

It's just that bigots don't think they "count," since they were enslaved, and their descendants usually converted to Christianity.

You don't suck six million people out of the former empires of Songhai and Mali and not end up with a good number of Muslims on your boat, after all.

What's more there were *gasp!* Free Muslims specking our nation's history all over the place! Enlightenment ideals included freedom of religion, and some men and women decided that this freedom pointed towards mecca.

Europe was mired for several centuries in the Dark Ages.

But, hey, Christians consider Aristotle and Plato "pagans," so that doesn't count for anything.

Don't even get me started.

to know that Muslims are as giving, loving and charitable as any other of the many groups of religious organizations of citizens this country has.

Muslims have molded the cultural foundation and widened the religious understanding of this county's people. A free country cannot make any laws regarding religion or it will no longer be free. A good and sound country must respect all people who band together to replenish their souls in ways that lift their hearts and those around them.

Radicals in any religious group are not those who should be held up as representatives of that religion for they have shown that they have deviated from the goodness that all great religions are bonded by. Love, compassion, the desire to better yourself and everyone around you is the main tenant of all great religions.

Sewing hate, distrust division through lies and irrational unfounded pronouncements will destroy the good works of any good soul. This person is foolish at best and should look around an see the good in his or her fellow citizen.

Facebook? I would think that, after you forcefully repudiate this individual's bigotry and ignorance, you'll want to kick him or her off your list and even block him or her if he or she harasses you.
