Dear Editor:

So now we cannot refer to Islamic jihad against us as a religious issue.  Meanwhile, our President courts the Muslim world.  Why isn't he trying to court the Catholic world or the Buddhist world or the Hindu world?  None of those religions are declaring global war against nonbelievers or demanding that the world submit to their religion and legal system.  But when there is a global jihad declared  for Muslim supremacy and imposition of Shariah law, our President bans the word jihad and Islamic but commits legal dhimmitude by respecting Shariah law and Muslim sensibilities over this country's (U.S.) welfare and system of law?  Does he see himself as the Mahdi?  Will he also not use the word Islamic for the brand of socialism he is building? 

If you learn one thing before President Obama attempts to make it illegal for non-Muslim Americans to talk about Islam, it should be that technically violent jihad must be declared/rationalized as defensive to be legal under Sharia (Islamic) law.  It is a political issue and Islam means submission in all areas of life.  Please keep that in mind when you write your stories.
