I recommend fingerprinting the Imam and comparing it to those on the letter.

When I lived in Des Moines there was no “Islamic Center” to my knowledge. Just delicious pork tenderloin sandwiches.

Can the Imam elaborate on what Hitler did to Jews? There are those among the pro-Palestinian war movement who are Holocaust deniers AND take the position that Hitler didn’t do ENOUGH.

There is no possible honest description that could be classified as "vile".

Do mosques house an organization that advocates for killing and raping people?
