I recently received an email from a Muslim living in Ohio. She was aghast at the breaking news of the US Government’s sponsorship of STD testing on unsuspecting Guatemalans in the 1940’s. Her shock took the form of the statements and questions below:
I couldn’t believe my ears hearing this!!!! so is THIS an act of terrorism or what??? or if it’s only on “regular white American people” THEN and only THEN we would call it “TERRORISM”???? How I would appreciate answers from White American Friends who were really concerned about Sept 11, AND on any attack on white Americans only???
This is not the first correspondence I have had with this Muslim woman. Her previously stated positions include the position that 9-11 was an US Government sponsored plot and that Islamic terrorism is the result of evil US foreign policies concerning Islamic nations and Israel. Aside from her obvious belief in the inherent racism of white Americans, there are many “holes” in her confused argument. My response to her request for a response is shown below.
