When Atheists a/k/a Future Muslims Attack
By Debbie Schlussel
Something happened over the last 24 hours. Beginning last night, my inbox became populated with vile hate-mail from atheists. No skin off my back.
But it is entertaining and amusing. It’s hard to believe their letters because they were all attacking me for my appearance on CNN’s “Paula Zahn Now,” a week ago, but coincidentally each letter claims the sender just watched me on CNN. First of all, the video of that segment appears nowhere on the net. Believe me, if it did, I’d link to it. Secondly, since I appeared on the show a week ago, that all these “seminar” e-mailers are now all e-mailing me the same basic hate message, populated with a diversity of obscene insults, it’s easier to believe that they were easily brainwashed into sending me the missives as a result of an atheist blog that just put up an attack on me, yesterday.
I’m surprised these atheists would be so obedient to a higher power that told them to e-mail me since, after all, the one thing they’re supposed to have in common is a lack of belief in a higher power. Well, no-one ever said atheists are consistent or immune from hypocrisy.
I don’t mind receiving the atheist hate mail, since I know that in a few years, many of these same people will either be Muslim extremists (redundant) or helping the country fall further in its fight against the creep of Islamic imposition on America . . . or both.
Look at famous atheists and what happened to them. Adam Gadahn a/k/a Azzam Al-Amriki–now a top Al-Qaeda video “personality”–was raised by his hippie Jewish father and equally bizarre gentile mother as an atheist. And look how he turned out. Ditto for hippie-spawn John Walker Lindh.
Those two people are enemies of America, and many of those who think like them are of equally weak mind. If you don’t believe in anything, you’ll easily fall for virtual nothings. That’s why Europe is so quickly turning Islamist–because atheism dominates and Christianity is rapidly dying there. Over there, the number one cause for which atheists are suddenly finding “god” is Islam.
Over here, as I pointed out on CNN, atheists are on the attack against religion and G-d only when Christians and Jews are involved, not when Muslims and Islam are. A Christian prayer at a public school graduation or football game? Send in the ACLU lawyers. A Muslim prayer at a high school football game in Dearbornistan? Suddenly, when the “Religion of Peace” is involved, atheists boast extreme tolerance and display ultimate deference. No lawsuits. Ever. And the Muslim prayers continue.
So to you hate-filled atheists a/k/a future Muslim extremists (redundant), your e-mails have no effect on me. Ditto for your creative obscenities which don’t impress upon me the civility of the atheo-fascisti set.
But thanks for the material for this post. And nice try, telling me you saw me on CNN, last night. That was a week ago. Last night, was when Sean Hannity deliberately plagiarized my work on Islamic imam Husham Al-Husainy on FOX News. Different network, different show, my name clearly not mentioned (just my work ripped off by Hannity; Thanks, Sean).

The emails you got had nothing to do with ‘obeying a higher power’, and I doubt very much that they were truly hate mail. We just simply disagree with you. My first problem with you appearance had more to do with CNN – there was simply no atheist representation. Not great journalism. I stumbled upon this website and decided FOR MYSELF to tell you how I feel and how disappointed I am in your viewpoint.
Your views on what America is all about are skewed. For instance, you said Freedom of Religion does not include freedom from religion. Thomas Jefferson would vehemently disagree: “[N]o man shall be compelled to frequent or support any religious worship, place, or ministry whatsoever, nor shall be enforced, restrained, molested, or burthened in his body or goods, nor shall otherwise suffer, on account of his religious opinions or belief; but that all men shall be free to profess, and by argument to maintain, their opinions in matters of religion, and that the same shall in no wise diminish, enlarge, or affect their civil capacities.” – Thomas Jefferson.
You also said America is a Xian nation. No. America is not a Xian nation, but a nation full of Xians. America is supposed to be a land of tolerance and acceptance, concepts seemingly foreign to you. We do not selectively attack Xianity. What we stand against is the Xian right attempting to force Xianity (and their brand at that) on the rest of us, including you. We simply wish to be allocated the right to believe what we wish without interference from people pushing their own beliefs on us. We are simply pushing back. No one has ever removed prayer from schools. It was mandatory prayer that was removed. Any child has the right to pray, hold their beliefs, etc., and that INCLUDES children from atheist families. It is simply the Xian right which is perpetrating the discrimination of atheists and that is who we are pushing back against.
You also said one man that went “all the way to the Supreme Court for his child, the child doesn’t know what’s going on, to try to get ‘under god’ taken out of the Pledge of Allegience…” First, how is exposing a child to religion, before they have the capacity to intelligently form their own opinions better than teaching free thinking? Second, why do you think that an atheist would not be offended by pledging allegiance to something that they do not believe in? Quid pro quo. While there are people with different belief systems that are intolerant to other religions (Xians are no different in this regard), there is nothing wrong with standing up for ones beliefs when they are being institutionally and societally trampled.
The only voice of reason was that of Stephen Smith. Even though he and I will never agree on matters of religion, we can still respect each other’s beliefs, and that’s what this is all about.
