To whom it may concern ,
Your post regarding the ” Truthout ” article is a bunch of hogwash . I think you folks at MRFF have finally jumped the shark ! It doesn’t matter if the Korans were deliberately burned or not ? WTH ? You might as well say it doesn’t matter if you intended to run someone over with your car or not. Oh , wait a minute , the law actually does say that intent matters . Um , how inconvenient for you and yours . Apparently it doesn’t matter to you and your fellow travelers that it was the Muslim prisoners who actually defaced the Korans to send messages and foment trouble IN THE FIRST PLACE. This desecration of their own holy book seems to get short shrift from you and “Truthout ” ( what an oxymoron ) . Perhaps we should have sent these mutilated Korans back to a landfill in the US or perhaps we could have recycled them ?

Islam is not just a religion , it is an economic , legal , political and cultural system all at the same time . When are you going to start treating it like more than a religion , which it undeniably is ?

Islam was birthed in blood ( the blood of it’s victims ) , even from the time of Mohammed himself . What was the Battle of the Trench all about ? Why was there a Muslim fleet in the harbor of Constantinople less than 40 years after Mohammed’s death ? Were they there to run a Tupperware campaign ?

The five historical Sees of Christendom are Alexandria , Jerusalem , Antioch , Constantinople and Rome . Except for Rome and Jerusalem ( a big thank you to Israel ) , how are the rest doing currently ? If Islam is the religion of peace , then I’m Dolly Parton and I’m giving you a lifetime pass to Dollywood !

Do you folks favor a ” Victory Mosque ” at the NYC 9/11 memorial site ?

When are you folks going to stop being apologists for Islam ? What size is your prayer rug ? But dimmhi does look good on you folks .

Dear (name withheld),

Mikey has read your email and asked me to respond on behalf of MRFF.

Although you allude to having read the article you reference, I contend that if this is true, your reading comprehension is simply pathetic. I would surmise that you are not a college graduate since your reading comprehension skills are so lacking and would have been terribly exposed by the ACT or SAT. If you are actually a college graduate, I apologize for my incorrect assumption and commend you for your graduation while avoiding remedial English classes. Mikey’s point in this article said nothing about the veracity of this incident (“Were the Korans burned by accident or not?”). However, this article focused on the real world military command environment and public perception of our Afghani allies under which this event took place. Your knowledge of sitcom inspired wisdom notwithstanding, your myopic ranting tantrum truly exposes your true level of functional illiteracy and causes me concern for your ability to manage daily living and employment tasks that require reading skills beyond a basic level.

Your denigration of Mikey and MRFF because we are not sufficiently Islamaphobic in your eyes is truly disgusting to me as a proud Christian (Episcopalian in fact). I support MRFF because I find fundamentalists of all persuasions to be dangerous to our democratic republic, particularly when applied to our freedoms and civil rights. I do not find the need to be a weak willed Christian zealot at the expense of my country or my constitution. As such, I will continue to work to defend man’s law (U.S. Constitution) developed through a democratic process of equals over holy law (Sharia/Biblical/Judaic/etc.) every damn day of the week.

I have neither the time nor inclination to compare religious body counts with you, just this advice to all religious fundamentalists (Islamic/Christian/Hindu/Jewish/whatever): Cut the Death Shit Out!…it doesn’t prove you’re right, it simply proves you’re subhuman.

In closing, you can keep the Dollywood tickets to yourself Ms. Parton, I find your theme park as irrelevant as your opinion.

With warmest regards,
Andy Kasehagen, MRFF volunteer
