Letters from the Muslim world; a 9/11 sampling from my inbox
As the proprietor of the Mohammed Image Archive, I get a continuous stream of letters from Muslims around the world, offering their opinions about me, my Web site, Islam, and the West. Every now and then, when I get a free moment (not often these days), I update the Archive’s Emails From Readers page with a selection of the latest arrivals. And a few months ago I posted some representative examples of the kind of communiqués I get from Muslims in an essay I wrote about the Mohammed Image Archive.
But the letters keep pouring in. Hardly an hour goes by without at least one email from a reader somewhere in the Muslim world telling me exactly what is on his or her mind.
To mark 9/11 this year, I present below some of the emails I have received in just the last week. (All emails are unedited and appear here exactly as they arrived, except to abbreviate the senders’ full names.)
Let the dialogue begin!
From: H. Nehal
To: The Mohammed Image Archive
Subject: SuggestionHey, my name is H. Nehal. I’m from Pakistan. You can make this website even better if you post some of your picctures on it with you little dick in her ass, or maybe you can post some of your mother’s milky boobs. Your hairy ass’ pictures will work just ass fine.
You’re drawing our Prophet Salallaho Alaihay Wassalam, but you’re actually showing your own thinking by these pictures. Of how you think of your Gods. Our Prophet was a great person, and these pictures you’re drawing won’t do any harm to him or us, instead it might take you by surprize. Do you know there was a man who drew Mohhammed S.A.W.W’s pictures and after two weeks he died of electric shock?
If not then now you do. I hope you and your whole team die the same way. No, actually, in a much worse manner. Maybe by burning alive or drowning, as Prophet S.A.W.W said that this was the worst suffering for a dying person.
Allah sees all, and He is the one who created your filthy soul and rotten body, and He’ll be the one to cut it into pieces one by one.
You’ll rot in hell and you’ll be made to drink blood and puss. That’s what happens when you provoke someone’s religion.
Rot in hell you bastard.Feaman-e-Allah.
From: Anees
may Allah curse you remove those pictures of our prophet.

oy dog why you make cartoon of our beloved prophet. you fuck bitch of son hramzady
From: Emre C. S.
Thanks for this great site. You made a service to humanity. I’m living in Istanbul, Turkey. Despite the false statistics and European perspective, religion here is weakening each day. Ruling class and poor people following them seems like devout muslims, but there’s a large crack in the fast growing middle-class community, which could clearly be seen since the Internet growing popular in the early 2000′s. People will learn the freedom of speech this way or another. And depiction of some 1400 years old cunning Arabian dude won’t be a problem anymore. The destruction of religion is key to the free conscious humanbeing, and sites like you are accelerating this process. I just can’t thank you enough.
From: v. vierra
Subject: stu**dProphet Muhammad is not as ugly as it , stu**d..
He is not as ugly as you..
From: Mr. Budin
Subject: What is your motivation??What is your aiming by doing this exactly?? What is your motivation? You have to know that for islam and for muhammad, what your doing is nothing, you can’t make trust declined for islam, or even this religion will gone from this world by publishing that picture.. But for sure.. for the moslem community, you just doing that to insult and you will face the risk for yourself. Same as one of you will stand and try to kill us.. if we draw your leadership, your messangger, or your “God” (if you believe in God) in a bad way… You can’t claim that all of you is on the right way.. or that is your human right, by insult the others… That is really not a peacefully!!
From: arif c. (Germany)
Subject: Stop Drawing Sketches of Muhammad S.A.W.W (P.B.U.H)There are many other ways for freedom of speech. I ask you not to play with the emotions of Muslims and remove all the related stuff from your web site.
Thanks.
From: Mahmoud Anwar D. (Italy)
Subject: Please read my massage about IslamI hope you read this message and think of it
First , I’d like to say that Prophet Mohamed is the Messenger of Allah and all that brought by him is the obvious right as Allah told us , and what happened is just a grudge and hatred for what Allah gave to him . Prophet Mohamed in the hearts of all Muslims and we love him greater than our parents, children, and mothers…
1. I only need a reply – not for me but for you – to the following questions, is the freedom of opinion means verbal aggression, attack on the beliefs of Muslims and prophets and Islamic faith?
2. Can you do such verbal aggression, or just hint for it, in Zionism or in hateful Secular despite of their odious works and the genocide of Muslims and Coptic that happened in Palestine?
3. Does your hatred to Prophet Mohammad require all these attacks that were of such magnitude?
Finally, I hope you, before talking about Prophet Mohamed, the Messenger of Allah, just to know his biography, life, and the revelation that he was sent for at the following link in Arabic, English and French :

MAHMOUD ANWAR D.
From: A. Pribadi (Indonesia)
Subject: what can’t be done by americai think the cartoons are disrespect islam,
oh yes, if you’re worried about your friends in South Park because of the threat of death, it’s nothing compared to the threat of death from your government in Muslim countries, so do not cry baby okay? because that’s life.
i know that america is a facists country, they can be hero by killing million innocent people at hirosima, and i believe that america will be the first country who will drop the nuclear in the name of peace…., and your american friends will happy til crying that their government stop the war. Hey I think it’s good idea if you could make it as a cartoon….
From: islamwill liveforever (Bosnia and Herzegovina)
You draw or post pictures liek you know islam or the prophet Muhammed may peace and blessings be upon him. whoever drew the cartoons, honest to god di dyou reserach islam and teh prophet Muhammed may peace and blessings be upon him? If you lie you know Allah (GOD) the Almighty is watching:) You should only excersie your freedom of speech when you know what you are depicting is not false pretences, were you not taught to lie as a child? and you think teh Prophet is bad, well the tables have turned:)
For the non muslims, do net be mislead by what the media potraying islam as, they are just threatened because it is teh fastest growing religion in the world:) And if Muhammed peace and blessing be upon him was a bad man then why was he ranked as NUMBER one by Michael Hart in his book Prophet Muhammad – The Most Influential Man in History, that is food for thought:) and you want to disrespect Muhammed peace and blessings be upon him when he is mentioned in all the different religions scriptures?? You do not believe me, then watch:
Muhammad Prophesized in Religious Scriptures of Christians, Jews, Hindus, Budhists and Parsis and Quran, Bible and Science – Dr Zakir Naik vs Dr William Campbell on the website
http://www.ilovezakirnaik.com/videos/index.htm, the British only banned Dr Zakir Naik from the UK because they are afraid of being told the truth:)
May you all be guided to the right path
Aameen Thumma ameen.PS: zombie time you better post this and try not to pick and chose the comments you put:) let the public know the truth about islam do us all a favour. ALLAH THE ALMIGHTY IS WATCHING YOU:)

Subject: Deeply AppreciativeYour website is a treasure of art and a monument of freedom. It’s both beautiful to behold and defiantly and powerfully brandishes the freedoms of expression and information-sharing.
I wish you health, safety, and an inextinguishable passion to continue with your work!
It’s back to back, belly to belly
I don’t give a damn, cos I got one already
Back to back, belly to belly
At the zombie jamboree.
Good work O anonymous one! May the fleas of a thousand camels infest all their beards! Don’t worry. There will be no room in hell because it will be full of mohammedans.
Just a simple “Thanks.”.
It’s a powerful reminder.
I appreciate the slings and arrows you’re taking for the team. In solidarity:

i want to set up a biosphere on the moon and live out the rest of my days there, away from the insanity and volatility of people compromised by religious zealotry…
Wow, how Emre C. S. and kosti get mixed in with Betty Noise/sleazits?
Hi Kyber!
43. Women will imitate men.
44. Men will imitate women.
Oh well, the more the merrier!
la-la la-la-la Lola!
“72. Lies will become a habit of the rulers and the rich.”
When will this start? I want to be ready.
What a pathetic bunch of responses. If the Islamodudes had any respect for their religion, they surely could have come up with more cogent and thoughtful thoughts to add to the debate. Is all this just Islamo-astroturf?
Nothing here to get excited about, just your ordinary run of the mill homicidal maniacs from the Religion of Peace. Must be nice to be a maniac and have so many friends praying along side of you. What a bunch of dorks.
And just think, those were only the close relatives of Feisal Rauf. Islam proves itself to be the religion of peace once again.
So. Since a true Koran is only written in Arabic, which means that non Arabic speakers – the majority of Muslims – along with the illiterate – again the majority of Muslims – are unable to read it; how many of the knuckleheads cursing you have actually ever read their “Holy” book?
That the followers of a “religion” started by a mass-murdering, illiterate pedophile produce such bilge should surprise nobody.
Free speech is free speech. I do not care to mock Islam or Muslims, but I find it interesting Islamic protestors actually burn the U.S. flag (or Bibles) to protest the threatened burning of Korans.
Is there no irony in Islam?
I do not care for book burnings, I find the practice distasteful. You can do it (because there is free speech to do so) but I do not care for it.
But to protest the threatened burning of Korans, Muslims burn the U.S. Flag and Bibles. Is there no irony in Islam?
I really love the translation programs your “fans” are using!
Of course, like all apocalyptic signs, these most of these 72 signs could be attributed to almost any period in history. People will wear clothes of animal skin? Justice will be sold in the courts? Peace will become rare? Puleeze! Might as well make Bears defalcating in the woods number 73.
73. And the cartoon cats will lie down with the cartoon dogs, and the Voice of the Turtle (P.B.U.H.) will be heard throughout the land.
The face and reality of the Pig Ignorant.
And we are told to accept, understand, and deal with them.
I have a better idea.
These emails speak for themselves. 1,400 years of Islamic perfidy, death and destruction in the world and they continue to behave like 7th Century barbarians.
Islam trains Muslims to be dualistic in their treatment of human beings. There is no Golden Rule in Islam. What is especially galling to anyone capable of intellectual reasoning is that Islam can not be assimilated into Western Civilization without destroying it.
The very nature and teachings of Mohammed and his Allah is psychopathic; there is no empathy or feeling for non-human kafirs (non Muslims). After 1,400 years and the murder and destruction of 200 Million non Muslims in the world they have to be stopped.
Islam is neither peaceful nor tolerant. It is going to be a real shock for these 7th Century barbarians when America and Americans finally say enough.
Reading the emails, I began to feel sorry for these people. So ignorant and childlike. How do they even get on the internet?
The only one that depressed me was from Bosnia. We obviously wasted our time saving that guy’s life.
Sooner or later (sadly sooner) the American people will get sick of this BS and then the Islamic world will feel our Wrath. we don’t need to declare war on anyone, we can just remove ourselves from the rest of the planet, YOU LOSE! And then if you screw with us we will just flatten your punk ass, GAME OVER. We don’t hate anyone but we will only tolerate so much, don’t push us YOU WILL LOSE!
God bless you all,
Jeez, these Muslims are touchy bastards.
Point out that their “prophet” was nothing more than a cheap, two-bit kiddie-diddler, and right away they start getting all upset.
….Or as my maiden aunt would have said, “A dirty old man”.
We will never be able to kill enough of these bastards.
Hmm ..
I got here from Instapundit after reading Walter Russel Meade http://blogs.the-american-interest.com/wrm/2010/09/11/911-islam-and-war/
Apparently the Muslims he talks to don’t talk like the ones you talk to. I can understand religious people becoming angry when their holy things are desecrated. I was pretty upset at P–s Christ. But it never entered my mind to do violence to the producer (to call him an artist would be to desecrate art). In fact I prayed for him and still do when the matter comes to mind. If any Muslims are reading this, please tell me if this sort of non-violence is in your tradition. It is important for us to know the answer.
always the same, dont hurt feelings or you will be hurt
kind of a hard game to win when its a one way street
and the tough guys are emotional sissies (that helps you win)
only fools like obama and his ilk (40%~ of America) play that game
good luck America
Those moderate muslims.Such kidders.
Lucky they are so much more enlightened than all thos Episcopalians blowing themselves up…..
You just know that these losers were slapping the salami while they were creating their “manly” missives. Bunch of sad deluded wankers the lot of them.
Great work Zombie.
I think the proper response to these emails is: “Ha ha, made you look!”
“you fuck bitch of son”
Yoda? Is that you?
“60. Instruments of music will be kept with great care.”
I wish someone had told this to my younger brother. He was goofing around with my Stratocaster and broke off one of the tuning knobs!
Instead of spanking him I should have said, “You’re preventing the arrival of the Twelfth Imam and delaying the Islamic Judgment Day! So stop touching my guitar!”
Didn’t I see “Klaatu barada nikto” in there ?
Wow.
There ARE aliens.
Especially “Syen hasan Muslim legal head, Officer of national military mecca”. I have to admit I’ve never heard of National Military Mecca before. I also have to admit I’m not all that impressed…
Also the guy who spoke of “the genocide of Muslims and Coptic that happened in Palestine” — I’d always heard that the population of Muslims in what was formerly known as “Palestine” has gone from a few hundreds-of-thousands to MILLIONS. Does this person not understand that genocide is “wiping out”, not “enabling to multiply like bunny rabbits”????
And I laughed at the one asking “if you’re worried about your friends in South Park because of the threat of death” — OMG they killed Kenny! Again!! (Don’t worry, A. Pribadi, he’s a cartoon character and comes back to life for each new episode.)
Sigh. As for “whoever drew the cartoons, honest to god did you reserach islam and teh prophet Muhammed”… Yes, actually. We have a greater understanding of The Perfect Man Worthy of Emulation than you do. He was a psychopath who invented a fake “god” who was really his alter ego– cruel and narcissistic; then he made up a religion “revealed” by that alter ego which allowed him to treat people as mere objects to serve his perverse fantasies. That is why Islam sees people as things to be controlled and manipulated, not as human beings with innate worth and value. And THAT is the bitter truth of Islam. (Yes, I know that many Muslims are not psychopaths and DO consider other humans to be of equal value. But Islam-the-belief-system is skewed to psychopathy, and the crazies are sure made to feel welcome there.) Just see the list of “signs of the end times”: There will be tall buildings! A man will obey his wives! (Oh, the horror.)
“you fuck bitch of son.”
Really, what more can be said? A for effort, I guess.
And they wonder why we’re not falling all over ourselves to send aid to Pakistan.
Where’s our president out reminding Americans and the world that while we may not all agree with burning the Quran, our first amendment rights trump all the sensitivities that want to shut us up? Remember that speech on August 12 at the Iftar dinner at the White House, where he came out in support of the mosque in lower Manhattan? Our Dear Leader would not have to change many words to use the same speech to make this ‘deadly’ crisis a ‘teachable lesson.’ How about this:
“But let me be clear: as a citizen, and as President, I believe that [protesting Americans] have the same right to practice their [first amendment rights] as anyone else in this country. That includes the right to [burn the Koran] on private property in [Florida], in accordance with local laws and ordinances. This is America, and our commitment to [first amendment rights] must be unshakeable. The principle that people of all [opinions] are [tolerated] in this country, and will not be treated differently by their government, is essential to who we are. The writ of our Founders must endure.
We must never forget those who we lost so tragically on 9/11, and we must always honor those who have led our response to that attack – from the firefighters who charged up smoke-filled staircases, to our troops who are serving in Afghanistan today. And let us always remember who we are fighting against, and what we are fighting for. Our enemies respect no freedom of [expression]. [The tyrant's] cause is not [liberty] – it is a gross distortion of [liberty]. These are not [tolerant] leaders – these are [statists] who murder innocent men, women and children. In fact, [political leftism] has killed more [freedom loving human beings] than people of any other [ideology]– and that list of victims includes innocent [Americans] who were killed [throughout the twentieth century].”
There…that wasn’t hard, was it? but will you ever hear a defense of our individual liberties coming from this president? Will you ever hear him speak to the sordid history of humanity where the freedom to express one’s outrage against government and religious tyranny has been far too rare a sight for us to take such a thing for granted? That while the prospect of burning the Quran is no less thuggish than some hippie burning an American flag (he supports that, right?), we must all endure some unpleasant sights if we are to remain true to that which is “essential to who we are?” No. Not when it conflicts with where he wants to take this country.
Barack Obama may be our president, but he isn’t a leader. We’re still looking for one of those…
Evil are they, die they must.
For such a ‘prudish’ people, they sure do know a lot about aberrant forms of sexual conduct. But then they’ve had 1400+ years to practice the ways of their true gods: Dagon, Molech, Baal. They plagued Israel all through Old Testament Scripture, it’s only fitting that they plague us now.
Don’t forget then when you write Mohammed (PBUH), you must add the PBUH. Pig Blood Upon Him!
It’s the 99% of mooslims like these that give the other 1% a bad name.
Just send him one of these links…

Thanks, Zombie. Both for keeping the Mohammed Image Archive, and so often showing the preparations the leftists undertake before staging a protest, and how they conduct themselves throughout. You arm the public against those who so often have manipulated them in the past.
genuinely have to state you make several great facts and will probably post a a small number of thoughts to add in as soon as a day or two.
