Letter to The Washington Post

Dear Editor,

In Young Muslim Rage Takes Root in Britain [Aug. 13, 2006], the sub-headline reads, “Unemployment, Foreign Policy Fuel Extremism.” What about hatred taught at home or in the Mosques? It is well-known that Fundamentalist Mosques are havens for incitement to hate. You have repeated the verbiage and propaganda of the extremists: ‘It’s not our fault.. it’s society… it’s the policy.’

Unemployment doesn’t make someone a murderer, nor does policy. The hatred that makes people kill, while killing themselves in the process, occurs from brainwashing – and this is religion-based. It’s time for the world to hold these Muslim extremists accountable for their actions, instead of giving them an ‘out’ by letting them blame others. Accepting this ‘out’ gives them carte blanche to create havoc and murder throughout the world. And it’s articles like this that provide that cover. Let's say instead - no more!
