In her July 25 response to my July 18 letter, “Al-Jazeera in Maine,” Renee Cote was respectful; however, online, others went on an irrational war path — calling names, threatening and making absurd assumptions.

Laughable.

The issue, however, is not laughable.

Al-Jazeera is a mouthpiece for the Muslim Brotherhood. The Knox Museum people are handing “evil a microphone.” Cote called that an unsupported allegation.

Al-Jazeera is owned in its entirety by the Emir of Qatar, a repressive, fundamentally Islamic country that practices Shari’a law. As such, women are treated as being worth half that of men; there is no democracy, no free speech, no freedom of religion, polygamy is practiced with child brides, and punishments (such as death) given for homosexuality, adultery or apostasy from Islam.

Al-Jazeera has been so biased in favor of Hamas (terrorists) that Colin Powell once asked the Emir to step in. Al-Jazeera has been sued for millions of dollars in the deaths of many Israeli civilians because they showed on live TV the explosions of Hamas rockets so that the mujihadeen could correct their inferior targeting systems and hit the intended Israeli targets.

How’s that for support? Sound like good guys?

Given the Quran’s mandate to practice “taqiyya,” (to deny their faith under duress, which is deception), I don’t think anyone can trust Abderrahim Foukara.

The stated goals of the Muslim Brotherhood include the “destruction of our miserable house from within” by our own hands.

Our own?

Maybe Ms. Cote’s hands. Not mine.
