"Mr Spencer or whatever you call yourself,i pray u die not except you die a Muslim."

Today's Hate Mail Bag specimen comes to us from Tinubu, Nigeria:

Mr Spencer or whatever you call yourself,i pray u die not except you die a Muslim. Cos if you dont, then am giving you tidings of rottening in Jahan'nam.Stop being a hypocrite for you yourself know that you are not telling the the truth of the seal of faiths.(AL ISLAM-MADIN). ASHADU ANALAILLAHA ILALLAH WA'ASHADU ANAMUHAMMADAR RASULILLAH. ALHAMDULILLAH BI NI'IMATIL ISLAM.

I'm told all the time that I'm not telling the truth. The only catch is that no one can quite come up with any specific falsehoods I'm supposed to be spreading.

A little punctuation would help, but I don’t think this qualifies as hate mail. Unless there’s something really nasty being said in the Arabic(?) part. In any event, surely this must be really tame compared to the stuff Robert Spencer must read on a daily basis!

This post makes about as much sense as an Obama press conference.AWB

“i pray u die not except you die a Muslim”

Yep, that qualifies as hate mail.

Now, it doesn’t qualify as a death threat because the emailer didn’t threaten to kill him.

It doesn’t matter at this point if it’s “tame” or not. Between the death threats and the hate mail — the volume has ramped up; so I am documenting this here for archival purposes.

ASS-HADU ANAL-AILLAHA I-LA-LA-H WA’ASS-HADU ANAL-MUHAMMADAR R-ASSHOL-ILLAH. ALH-DAM-U-LILLAH BI NI’IMATIL ASS-LAM.

Fixed it.

Note: Mr. Spencer has been updating his web site and this particular email message is older, from September.

Sorry about that.

I’ll leave the thread online, though.

“i pray u die not except you die a Muslim”

This just means, "I hope you convert to Islam before you die." So it's kind of presumptuous, but I don't think it's a threat. It's probably meant as a kindness.

Thanks for your feedback Dr. Lew.

Regarding this section: “...i pray u die not except you die a Muslim...”

“i pray u die...” is hate mail.

“...except you die a Muslim...”

This is the typical hoping you convert and/or your duty to convert.
That is not hate mail; that is typical islamic propaganda we all get
from time to time.

Yeah, that’s the way I read it too. That reading seems to be confirmed by the next sentence.
