Twaddle, Mr Taylor! Twaddle, twaddle, twaddle!

Do you remember that wonderful 'letter to the editor' I drew your attention to in the The Daily News (Galveston) on July 1? You know, the man who said what the problem we face is in just a few, succinct words. Well, below is the editor's response. His response shows the problems we have in dealing with Islam by having a mammoth task to try and enlighten our own people first about the danger to Western civilization that Islam is:
The Daily News recently angered some readers by printing a letter about Islam.

The letter contended that Islam is not a religion of peace but a religion that urges violence against those who don’t believe in it.

Some readers said publishing such a letter only encourages attacks against a religious minority.

Others applauded the letter, saying it reflects the feelings of most Americans.

I think it was important to print the letter, although I disagree with it strongly.

The discussion about what Islam is and isn’t already is going on in our society. Trying to hide from that debate is impossible. Letter about Islam sparked worthwhile debate by Hebor Taylor (Editor: The Daily News)
