I received this email this morning. It is the first of its kind and I wanted to share it with my readers and get your opinion on this man’s accusation. Here then is the complete body of the email:
Message: You say you are a warrior against terrorism. A warrior has the courage to sign his name to his word. I have been a warrior against terrorism. Do not dimminish the name and reputation of those I have seen die in active service by adding your anonymous pseudonym to that role of honour. You are not a warrior until you fight in a real war against a real enemy and risk real life. You are a virtual warrior and then only in your overactive imagination.

The following story from the Telegraph is a textbook example of how Islamists have historically striven to wipe away all memory of opposing cultures. This kind of behavior in our modern era is more common than you likely know.:

By Colin Randall in Paris
The headstones of 42 British soldiers who fell in combat in the First World War have been desecrated in what police in northern France believe may have been the work of Islamist attackers.
