Selamaleyk,

This is a direct, sincere message from a recent Muslim convert who works as a leading journalist in the U.S. to all those who have befouled the Internet, my personal e-mail, and communications of my newspaper with threats, insults, lies, and a general stream of garbage directed against Shaykh Hisham and the distinguished Naqshbandi order, in the name of I do not know or care what.

I will no longer entertain any messages and will no longer accept any form of communication with any so-called Muslim who engages in these attacks on Shaykh Hisham or who attempts to draw me or my newspaper into this swamp of madness.

To you who come from faraway countries and who misuse American democracy to attack a man of Allah;  GO HOME.  GET OUT OF AMERICA.  IF I RECEIVE ANY MORE THREATENING MESSAGES FROM ANY OF YOU I WILL TURN THEM DIRECTLY OVER TO THE FBI.  I WILL SIGN COMPLAINTS, AND I WILL PETITION FOR YOUR IMMEDIATE DEPORTATION FROM THE U.S. AND THE REVOCATION OF YOUR RESIDENCE OR CITIZENSHIP RIGHTS.

AMERICA  IS MY COUNTRY, NOT YOURS.  YOU DO NOT BELONG IN AMERICA.  YOU HAVE ABUSED AMERICAN FREEDOM.  GO BACK TO WHEREVER YOU CAME FROM ON YOUR WAY TO HELL.  AMERICA DOES NOT WANT OR NEED YOU AND AMERICA WILL NOT TOLERATE YOU. I WILL NOT TOLERATE YOU.   I WILL FIND YOU AND HAVE YOU ARRESTED AND DEPORTED.

THIS IS MEANT WITH UTMOST SERIOUSNESS.  I AM DISGUSTED WITH YOUR VICIOUS ATTACKS ON SHAYKH, ON MATEEN SIDDIQUI, ETC.  YOU DO NOT ACT LIKE MUSLIMS. YOU ARE ENEMIES OF ISLAM.  ISLAM DOES NOT NEED YOU.

ALL YOU ARE DOING WITH YOUR CAMPAIGN OF ABUSE AND THREATS IS CONTRIBUTING TO THE BAD IMAGE OF ISLAM IN AMERICA.

SHUT UP AND GO BACK TO THE GARBAGE BINS IN WHICH YOU BELONG-

YOU ARE INTELLECTUAL TERRORISTS. 

THIS IS WRITTEN FROM SARAJEVO WHERE I AM SUPPORTING THE FREEDOM OF ISLAM AGAINST FASCIST ENEMIES LIKE YOU WAHHABI SCUM WHO SHOULD GO TO MOSCOW OR SERBIA WHERE YOU BELONG-

ANY FURTHER HARASSMENT WILL BE REPORTED TO THE FBI.  AND DO NOT CONTACT THE SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE EVER AGAIN.  I WILL ENDEAVOR TO HAVE YOU BARRED FROM THE CHRONICLE PAGES.  FOREVER!

BISMILLAH IRRAHMAN IRRAHIM
