U.S. Not Anti-Muslim
RECEIVED Thu., Nov. 11, 2004
Dear Louis Black,
By referring to America's "anti-Muslim racism" in your editorial, you only further Osama bin Laden's propaganda ["Page Two," Nov. 5]. Clearly, America is not anti-Muslim, as shown by our defense of the Muslims in Yugoslavia, by the evidence of our Constitution's Freedom of Religion clause, by the high degree of religious tolerance in our culture, and by the statements of President Bush. Bin Laden would like the world to believe that America is waging a war against all Muslims, when in fact our disagreement is with fascists who are using a twisted version of Islam to gain power. Please don't assist Osama bin Laden in your editorials.
