RER: “Muslims in U.S. Feel Unfairly Implicated” – Some comments on your article appearing in this morning’s Miami Herald telling me about the faults of this country/

Ms. Fadel,

There are pictures of a man praying and two boys running to their mosque in Maryland.

It’s a pretty good country, isn’t it?

Please tell me of one country that is Muslim where there would be a picture of a mane praying in a Christian church in that country. Please tell me how many countries under Muslim rule, be it Sunni or Shiite that permits the existence of places of worship other than those devoted to Islam.

You say that Muslims feel singled out for scrutiny since 9/11. Orwell told us that “the obvious and the true have got to be defended”. As an aside, could you tell me where I can find an Islamic Orwell?

It is both “obvious and true” that the attacks on this country on 9/11 were Muslim planned, Muslim directed, and Muslim led.

What do you think the reaction should have been?

This country locked up 120,000 Japanese, many of whom were American citizens, after 12/7/41. As a point of reference more people died on 9/11 than died on 12/7. A lesser known fact is that we locked up about 30,000 Germans and Italians.

In the American Civil War President Lincoln exercised the powers specifically given to him under the American Constitution and suspended the right of habeas corpus. Does that right exist in any Muslim country? Where can I find a copy of any Constitution in any Muslim country?
