I wasn't criticizing your son, just asking you to use your "thinking cap". It is hard to imagine intolerance in a country that has striven to rectify past intolerances...we Americans by and large believe in fair play and hard work, and freedom of conscience.

But there are people who want to hurt us, who want America to be made into an Islamic Caliphate. Some are not so not so violent or extreme...but they are insistent and impervious to reason. They may not raise a weapon against us, but they could not support us should we need to confront another Moslem terrorist in armed struggle...their creed forbids betraying another Moslem to an infidel.

The Moslem extremists seek to test us...they see us as decadent and weak, in many ways they may be right. Surely our crime rates and our culture's tendency towards licentiousness and sexual abominations support their view. What they don't see that there remains a strong, vigorous , morality in much of the country, a reality that our media out-lets cannot comprehend or worse would rather try to suppress in the name of the New Progressive World Order! They began to see it, to their chagrin after 9/11/01...we didn't just fold up, abandon Israel and convert to Islam...many ordinary Americans dusted themselves off,,took stock of what they believed in, and some-thing extaordinary exhibited it-self...that latent spirit of American patriotism and pride of country was aroused and caught the world by suprise with the robustness of its expression!

The time has come to temper our romantic notions of "tolerance" by dealing with reality. There are mean people in the world who want to destroy us; the freedom and light we represent is much too intolerable. So long as America exists, we remain an example to the people, suffering under horrible governments (ruled by extreme ideologues), in need of the hope of freedom. Thusly, we threaten these regimes by our very existence. Our "tolerance", and love of freedom of conscience vexes these regimes in their very souls. Our support of Israel is seen by many Moslems as an attack against Islam. Israel's very existence(as prophesied that she would indeed exist again according to the Bible) contradicts Islam, creating within many Moslems a cognitive disonance between their religion and the Judeo-Christian religion. Both can't be right, according to Islam,Islam must rule the world....but why did Allah allow Israel, filled with that most hated of peoples...the Jews... to be re-established? Many Moslems would rather not face that question for this would lead to unsettling conclusions that would destroy their world view. Thus they fight against her and against America!
