This Hate Mail Bag entry comes from Bloomington, Indiana:
I read yor postings. You are a pathetic hateful person, Mr. Spencer. But your effort to eradicate Muslims or detroy Islam will not work. Your forefathers have tried that, begining from Abu Jahel and Abu Lahab (you and your hater-colleagues are spiritual descendants of those). Their efforts were not successful. Give it a try. You know what, this is a good test as Qur’an says that Allah will protect Islam.
You are no better than the hateful folks that are using the name of Islam to do terrible things. All of you are scums of the human race.
Abu Lahab was Muhammad’s uncle, cursed in the Qur’an: “Perish the hands of the Father of Flame [Abu Lahab]! Perish he! No profit to him from all his wealth, and all his gains! Burnt soon will he be in a Fire of Blazing Flame! His wife shall carry the (crackling) wood as fuel! A twisted rope of palm-leaf fibre round her (own) neck!” (111:1-5)
Abu Jahel or Jahl was another man whom Muhammad considered an enemy. Abu Jahl’s crime? One of his Muslim murderers explained: “I have been informed that he abuses Allah’s Apostle.” When he heard about the murder, Muhammad was concerned not with it, but merely with the proper distribution of the spoils: “Allah’s Apostle asked, ‘Which of you has killed him?’ Each of them said, ‘I have killed him.’ Allah’s Apostle asked, ‘Have you cleaned your swords?’ They said, ‘No.’ He then looked at their swords and said, ‘No doubt, you both have killed him and the spoils of the deceased will be given to Mu’adh bin ‘Amr bin Al-Jamuh,'” who was one of the murderers. (Bukhari 4.53.369)
“You are no better than the hateful folks that are using the name of Islam to do terrible things.” Remember the easy principle: reporting about Islamic jihad activity is just as bad as Islamic jihad activity. Reporting about beheadings, stonings, bombings, etc., is just as bad as beheadings, stonings, and bombings. Got it?
