is a selection from the e-mails NRO has received in the past few
hours about the now-infamous
"Nuking Mecca" comments
in "The Corner." Be warned that some include explicit
language some will find objectionable. Many of the letters are unsigned.
We've included the "from" (excluding the e-mail addresses)
and "subject" lines where they add to the note. The e-mails
are reproduced here unedited.
I
have been shocked by what is written by R. Lory regarding atom bombing
of Makkah. How can a respectable magazine like National Review adobt
such a stupid racestic writer.

How morally bankrupt, and how bigoted one can become when a low
life like Richard Lowry proposes the destruction of Islam's holiest
sites. His venomous article is a reflection of deep-seated hatred
for Moslems and their religion. He should not be allowed to spew
his poison all over your magazine and into our living rooms. Instead
of fostering tolerance and understanding, Lowry is further add fuel
to the seemingly unending strife between many in the Moslem world
and bigoted writers and ignorant leaders in the West. We demand
an apology for published statements by editor Rich Lowry who suggested
that "nuking Mecca" would "send a signal" to
Muslims.
The only signal
Lowry is sending is a call for a total war with no guarantee that
the West will emerge the winner. Get rid of Lowry now.

Fuck all of you son of bitchs , mother fucker's

magazine could end the world.
Blind people also see Jewish , don't see the Palestine but i have
a good news for you

In The Hell , Enjoy , Fuckin Magazine
Hell be upon you & your magazine
As a respected Magazine, you should be far a way from a discrimination
against religion. And you should really be more carefull when you
choose the articles you are posting . I'm refering to Richy Lowry
Article on 7th March 2002.
whether he
thinks it's a freedom or an opinion, We respect our religion and
we don't let any person touch it even by word . if you as christians
or jewish dont' mind making jokes on your religion or underestimating
your holy places it's up to you ..but we muslims, believe that islam
is part of our lives and before our family, nations and countries
.
Me and all
muslims want to see your apologize for publishing such article ..
If you do it then you are really a repected person
If you dont'
.. it wont harm us .. wont' harm islam ..but it will harm the subscribtion
to your magazine ..coz this article was sent to thousands muslims
by now ..
The views expressed by your columnist Rich Lowry on muslims on Islam
doesnt fit reading for a civilized soceity nor does it augur a peaceful
world to live in. Its a terrible thing to do to foment this level
hate in soceities. Just as muslims everywhere are distancing themselves
from senseless acts of terrorism, the people of the world everywhere
will have to distance with such Journalistic Terrorism as expressed
by Rich Lowry.

Subject: about mekka,, the holy land
hi all,
well,i'm just a simple arab man who wants to declare something here
about what did Rich Lowry wright about Muslims holy land. at first,,i
want to declare that US says that it's fighting terrors ha!!! so
what's the diffrence here between wat happened in New York city
and wat r he trying to ask US to do! also about the other Arab Capitals,,i
think that u need to know that we have more effictive power than
the one u have,,and u saw the in the World Trade Center!
also i think that if u want to talk about terrors, I think that
Rich Lowry is really worse than them all.just trying to create reasons
to kill pepole and destroying holy lands looking really that such
a man like that is just the worst terrism man in the world. u may
need to remember that there is some American terrors,,just remember
Oklahoma and u can see. definitly for us as muslims,,there is no
any difference between the dam killer "Sharoon" in Israel
and "Rich Lowry" and the men like him.they r just the
same,,Sharoon is killing our children there,,and Rich Lowry is trying
to kill the others by his dirty words. finally,,i think that u need
to remember that Islam always win,,and it will be proved soon.
bye

I am writing
to take offense at the recent National Review postings suggesting
the 'Nuking of Mecca'
While the humans (presumably) who wrote this, obviously thirst for
blood, the National Review in providing a platform for such pornography
is derelict in its responsibility.
We know there is a segment of our global society that wishes to
avenge any present, past or pent-up anger and frustration with killing,
using the most lethal weapons at hand- Such voices are best ignored.
I am apalled at the National Review. I suppose the National Review
is America's Premier Conservative (protecting White Rights by killing
everyone else ('s)) website.
Thank you for awakening me to what American Conservatism is about.
Are you a secret project to convert people into Democrats?
Subject: RE/ Rich Lowry "nuking
Mecca" .. You people are sick..
I read that
piece for that Lowry the sick.
You make me sick to my stomach..
And you claim this is journalism..
You are sick.. full of hate.. full of ignorance and bigotry..
Write something clean for God's sake..
Let people like you instead of spitting on you..

Subject: "Nuking Mecca" is
childish and hostile. Shame on National Review!
"Nuking
Mecca" is possibly the most hostile and childish bit of advice
I have ever read. Shame on Rich Lowry and the rest of the crew at
National Review for allowing such an anti-Semitic (yes, Arabic is
a Semitic language and the 1.3 billion Muslims on the planet are
every bit as Semitically oriented as any Jewish person who may or
may not pray in Hebrew on a daily basis) rant to be printed in your
once thoughtful Roman Catholic, but increasingly hysterical and
hate-filled, journal. Apologize!
Most sincerely,

Religious Discrimination
There is no
such excuse for Lowry's and Dreher's offensive remarks, published
under what you claim to be "America's premier conservative
website." In fact, these statements are a call to violence
against Muslims and Islam. Inflammatory rhetoric suggesting mass
murder and the destruction of religious sites is wildly irresponsible
and beyond the bounds of reasoned
debate
I and millions
of Muslims demand an apology for Lowry's and Dreher's offensive
remarks and irresponsible published statements. Hate speech can
never be justified or excused.

Could there be any more testament to neo-conservative madness and
hypocrisy than your calls to "nuke" Mecca, along with
numerous other Arab and Muslim capitals. The most ironic thing of
all is that your regularly refer to such talk in other countries
as "incitement" and "hate-mongering." So where
did YOU all learn to hate? Where you taught to hate in Christian
and Jewish schools? Where you incited into hatred by your parents?
Or are you just plain evil? I think I know which.

Dear
Mr. Goldberg,
From one Jew to another(my mother is Jewish), I greet you Sieg
Heil!
Whenever your columnists like Ann Coulter open their mouths,
out spills a sewer of lies, hate, and agitprop for the next genocide.
Your magazine is promoting fascism or, at least, policies like "nuking"
other peoples, other nations which are congruent with the exterminationist
rhetoric and logic of
National Socialism. So it has come to this. Issuing calls for the
deliberate murder of hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions of
innocent people?
If only there was justice, you and National Review would surely
be closed down by the FBI for treason against our great nation and
its people! For, not only do you occlude the actual causes of terrorism which
in fact lie in the heinous and unjust policies of the American Imperium
abroad but you
actively promote mass murder. You are taking your place alongside
the Rwandan radio operators who whipped up Hutsis into their killing
frenzy against the Tutsis. For this you and your coterie deserve
to be sent to Guantanamo Bay, and made to parade around without
sight or hearing.
I would appeal to your humanity, your reason, and your good sense.
But manifestly you and your privileged, selfish, racist bunch lack
all three.
