Mr. f.sha,

Please accept my sincere apology. My reply to your "fear of Moslems" letter was based in part on, quoting you, "I have met many Americans.....who fear the Islamic revenge".

Again, I apologize for my mistake.

I am curious, however, who these Americans that you've met are. Do they actually say they are afraid? Or are you speaking of the effort on the part of many "left-wing" groups who think all we need to do is "have an understanding and empathy for the (so-called) 'plight' of Muslims". That mentality is I admit is largely based on fear. Political correctness has no place tactically or strategically when fighting a war.

As a fellow Christian, I admire what I suspect was a struggle on your part to leave your homeland and come to America. You remind me once again what a fantastic gift God gives to those in this country; the opportunity to openly study His word. John 8:31 - So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had beleived in Him, "If you continue in My word, you are truly disciples of Mine; and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free." very respectfully, Jennifer Solis
