Letter to Editor: Obama's Sensitivity To 'Muslim Community' is Anti-American
Long Beach man is offended by the president's decisions on bin Laden's burial and photos.
Letter to the Editor:
Can you believe what is happening to our country? Airport security that depends on bare feet; soft porn x-rays machines and sexual assaults called pat-downs; a federal budget that says borrowing gets you out of debt; a health care bill “deemed” to have passed in the dark of night with the help of bribes and bullying. Nothing is making sense anymore!
And now there is Osama Bin Laden.

After nearly 10 years, millions of dollars and thousands of young lives spent avenging 9/11, we finally find and waste the bastard responsible for pulling it off and what does the CEO of the United States do? He directs that the body be treated with respect! Wash it, wrap it and give it a proper Muslim funeral? This corpse belonged to one of the worst enemies of US history! Is he crazy?
As if that is not enough, he then instructs us peasants to swallow the bromide that this is for our own good because, after all, we don’t want to offend the “Muslim community,” and so incite them to further violence. I he kidding? When all who hijacked those airliners were Muslim? When all who were dancing in the streets in Paterson, NJ, the day those towers came down were Muslim? When the world right now is wracked with at least 13 wars involving Muslims? He wants us to be sensitized to Muslim sensitivities?

And now for the latest slap in our collective face: Our dear leader has decided in his infinite paternalistic wisdom to withhold pictures of the deceased for fear that they are just too gruesome for us “children,” and once again out of respect for the sensitivities of that Muslim community. What an insult to those who killed Osama bin Laden and to America!
As I have reluctantly come to realize, the man this country elected to its presidency is not a bona fide American, but at heart is a Muslim Marxist devoted to the “fundamental transformation of America,” just as he promised when speaking as a presidential candidate.
The only problem is that it’s not just un-American, but anti-American. 2012 cannot come soon enough.
