Under Attack

This morning I read a letter to the editor in our local paper. It was lamenting the fact we were no longer a "Christian" nation and we were under attack from the Muslim world. The author lamented the lack of what he felt to be justified uprising against Islam for a foiled one man terrorist attack on a plane over Detroit on Christmas day. He also stated we were being drawn into the Muslim agenda to convert us all.
I cannot help but shake my head in wonder at the blindness of it all. This so called man of God used passages from the gospel of Matthew to back up his assertions. Is he really serious?
I do not take his accusations lightly. The man believes and is trying to spread his bigotry to one and all.
The only thing that is worse is the fact the local paper prints this and that the editor apparently agrees in his writings.
I will be writing to the paper in response. Someone needs to stand up and say no to the continued deliberate mis-information and spread of religious bigotry.
I hope others will join me.
