I received the following email today from a close friend/relative (who btw, I love very much....).  It had two things in it and this was the 2nd thing.  I will let you read it and then I will tell my thoughts on it afterwards...

I must say that I found this offensive.  Don't get me wrong, I HATE terrorism and I wish terrorists a special place in hell.  However, as I read this, all I could think was what about muslim/americans who may receive this email.  How would that make them feel?  If my kids read (if they could read yet...) my email, what would this email be teaching them?  Racial slurs are racial slurs.  Towel head, Kike, Wet back, Nigger, Mic, Chink... all are equally awful and I want no part of any. 

If you look at any race, you will find both good and bad.  Spreading hatred and bigiotry is not what I want to teach my children and how I want to lead my life.

What is even more ironic, is the person who sent it is Jewish.  Tolerance...  I wish there was more of it in the world.
