Dear Mikey,

Thank you for your fast response I started my quest for justice a few hours ago and before the day ended. I spoke with you directly, the testimony that you gave to congress was powerful and true. I have been a practicing Muslim in the Air Force since 2005, and I have experienced all of the things you spoke about. the treatment of many Muslims in the military is horrendous and disgusting to say the least. I love my country and I’m proud to serve her, and if needed give my life for these rights that we hold dear. That’s why its important to have organizations like MRFF, who ensure that the same rights we defend are afforded to us. Blessings

    I am speechless ! As a country I am still reeling from 9/11 and the impact of those and continued attempts of violence in my country by some in the Muslim faith. I would never think of treating anyone I know of any faith poorly,but I simply do not know what to say for the lack of understanding by the Muslim community why some of us are fearful of the intent of some of their faith.
    As I have stated previously I am a babtized Roman Catholic. I feel my Church handled the pedophile priests inappropriatly and would never, to this day, let my children or grandchildren alone with a priest,and some others of course,it changed my level of trust.
    Just as the members of my Church are responsible to earn my trust they had and lost,so will Muslims as individuals and and as a group. Again I say whining and legal action against me for my fears for myself and children will not make me feel safe again,only intent ,time and action will do that.

    Timothy McVey & friends that blew up the Federal building and killed many people are Christians. Applying your logic, I should be in fear of you because as a Christian you obviously will be killing a lot Americans any day now. How many do you plan on killing? Where? When? How? Why won’t you appoligize for the terrible actions of your religious bretheren? You obviously must sympathize with McVey being a Christian and all!

    Mmmm, on the other hand, I wonder if it’s possible that you probably have no intention of killing anyone and are guilty of nothing more than using a bit of faulty logic?
