Question: What do we do if someone sends us email attacking Islam, Quran, Allah or our prophet, peace be upon him?
Answer: Someone did send us email attacking our prophet, peace be upon him, and we gave them the reply every Muslim should give - the truth about real Islam.
Here is our reply, and at the bottom there is a copy of their original email to us.
Read . . .
Some people are openly attacking Islam, even boldly sending out emails offering their books (like the one below) attacking the prophet, peace be upon him, and even doing so in the name of America Freedom. (see the email to us at bottom of the page)
This is the exact letter send to Ms. Geraldine Castle

Reference to your email to our office styled: Islam exposed, Islam the religion of terror
Dear Ms. Castle:
Thank you for your letter and for taking your time to email us with your opinions and ideas. However, because you are writing directly to the former National Muslim Chaplain's Office in Washington, D.C. it appears you are indirectly asking us to consider your efforts seriously and for that reason we have taken liberty to open a file on this case and will be maintaining records of this, and what you have previously sent along with any further correspondence between you and our office.
We call your attention to something very concerning at the end of your email to us. In your own words you mention "strike a blow for American Freedom". Exactly what did you intend by that reference? Perhaps this could be taken to mean "strike a blow" physically against some minority or religious group? Are you suggesting by this some form of taking the law into your own hands? Or worse? Could someone mistake your words to mean you are encouraging physical violence in the streets of America, against the very people and principles America is devoted to defend and protect?
To begin, you referenced the man who is the focal point of the largest religion on earth today - ISLAM (reference: Vatican City News, March 30, 2008)Let us look to the etymology of the word from the Arabic language:
1. The word "Islam" itself means: to submit, surrender, obey, be sincere and above all, be in peace with Almighty God (reference: WhatsIslam.com)
2. The word "Muslim" as a base to understand who is, and is not really following Islam (reference: www.Islamtomorrow.com/definition.asp)
3. The word "Quran" as it is understood by meaning, rather than just another book (reference: www.AllahsQuran.com)
4. The historical Muhammad, peace be upon him, opposed to the character being portrayed in today's media (reference: www.ProphetOfIslam.com)
5. Concept of the "God" (Allah) in Islam, compared to other faiths: God is uniquely One, without any partners! (reference: www.GodAllah.com)
6. Aisha (wife of Muhammad), her history, age at marriage and reasons for age difference between them. (reference: IslamNewsroom.com)
7. The hadeeth are accurate, preserved documents proving the very opposite of many statements within your letter (reference: IslamNewsroom.com)
Now let us consider the following:
If you are wrong or incorrect in any part of what you have said, would you like to be able to correct it so as to have a more far reaching affect on your audience?
If you have made any mistakes in your assertions, would you be pleased to make adjustments to comply with known facts?
If you had brought about mischief, evil or hatred from your efforts, would you want to correct these things?
If your aim is honest and true, and your goal is lofty to bring about better understandings for people, then it makes sense that you desire more accurate information on your subject.
Before going any further, and without wasting another moment of your time, we would like to offer this challenge on only one of your slanderous remarks against the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him.
You state, and I quote from your email to me, "the never sober Mohammad" and refer to this condition again talking about an image on the back cover of a book, "showing Mohammad depicted after a 5 day bender".
It is well established in preserved documents and writings in the ancient Arabic language (which I have seen), that the character of Muhammad, peace be upon him, was so opposed to alcohol, that he never drank even one single drop in his entire life. This, in spite of the fact he lived in a time and place where alcoholism was quite the norm, and anyone not imbibing would be considered quite odd, as was Muhammad, peace be upon him.
