Bruce,

Please know that I am promoting your book here in the States.

But, I would like to know that you are doing more than simply citing crimes — mostly against gays. At the very least, it would help to know you were bringing cited attacks to the Dutch, French and Norwegian courts. And, how about this … get a blackbelt (like my son) or a weapon and promote self-defense against the Islamist thugs that roam in packs looking for gays and ‘improperly dressed’ women to attack? You come across as the type that urges my son and other “youngsters” like him to go do battle in Iraq for you because you are miffed at the Muslim fundamentalists who have made gay lifestyle unpleasant in Europe.

FIGHT BACK if you are being kicked as you board a public bus in Oslo for God’s sake. Talk about handing over Western Europe to the extremists! How about a large 52 year-old, educated, wealthy (New York) male taking on protecting Jewish children that are attacked or French housewives who can no longer leave their homes with their heads uncovered or lesbians who can no longer hold hands in the streets of Amsterdam??

My father was a 5’5″ Bronze Star 19 year-old Infantryman who fought the Nazi’s and refused to beat up a gay Frenchman (with MP’s urging my Dad on) who solicited him while on leave in the French Riviera in 1945. The last German to shoot at my Dad was a blue-eyed, blond boy of about 12 who he went after but fortunately did not have to kill. Women on the New York subway fight better than the passive responses you describe. Women in the trenches of Iraq are fighting and coming home amputated! And there are plenty of gay men and women who enlisted and put up with stupid “Don’t Ask – Don’t Tell” policy after 9/11 because they understood the Islamist agenda.

THIS IS YOUR BATTLE TOO! FIGHT WITH MORE THAN WORDS!
