BACK TO NRO


 
 
 

elow 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.

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

Subject: Rein in your murderous instincts

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,

Subject: Muslims & National Review 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.
