Letters to the Editor

This letter is associated with the following article:
In an apparent appeal to Americans, Osama bin Laden proposes peace in exchange for the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq and Afghanistan. But he also threatens more attacks on U.S. soil.
  • To "One nation under god"

    You and Osama aren't any different from eachother. I read what you just wrote and a listen to these insane jihadists and I hear the same damned thing: "My religion is correct. Yours is wrong. Lets broadbrush all of your people into one category, pretend like that category's most extreme elements speak for the whole and advocate genocide of the other and take pleasure in any misfortune that might befall any member of that group."

    Doesn't your god, in no ambiguous terms, tell you that murder is a sin, no matter whose murder it is? Doesn't your religion advocate charity, compassion, love for your neighbor?

    Or does that compassion for your fellow human being only apply to other christians who share your beliefs and march lock-step with the republican party?

    You really and truly disapoint me.
