The letter intends to convey that the writers religion is another religion than islam. However, the most logical advice to the muslims in that case would be something like, convert to the real God. Or even mention the real God. It's strange for a religious person not to mention that option. This indicates deception.

Sentence structure and verb tense usage is awkward in spots (“But, your Day of Reckoning <b>has arrived</b>.”. ) <br /><br />I *think* the author is a young (16-28 yr old + or -) Muslim male, but I could be wrong and probably am. :)<br /><br />1. Muslim- Lots of Islamic phrasing and imagery. The majority of t’s have precise horizontal strike through lines. Many Arabic letters require precise horizontal mid-lines. The k’s are similar in form to Arabic k’s in the slant of the “v” piece. In Arabic, all writing is in cursive, with the letters of words flowing together (except for a few stand alones). The letter spacing, both within individual words and between words, is abnormally sporadic. In line 3, note the distance between the first 3 letters in “mother”. In line 4, in “dogs” the letters are all touching and “you are” nearly creates one word…yet “evil” is too widely spaced. In the signature line Americans for a better way, “for a” nearly becomes one word and the t’s in “better” literally do flow into each other, with blobs at the bases where the writer seems to pause, as if mindful to disconnect them. <br /><br />2. Handwriting style is similar to most guys/men I know, based on my experience (the exception being left handed men-because most English letters are formed right to left, their letters require more effort and concentration, so they tend to be more carefully made="neater"). Men tend to view writing as just something that has to be done. Most girls/women tend to be more stylized, viewing handwriting as an outward expression of their personalities and personal sense of style.<br /><br />3. The writer is possibly left-handed. In forming the letter “o”, they are consistently completed on the left hand side instead of at the top of the circle or on the right side. Likewise, the y’s are exacting to the point of almost being over exaggerated. The spiral binding on the left side of a notebook would cause the y’s to be more difficult to write (and therefore more pronounced). <br /><br />4. Familial Priorities: The letter is addressed to the children first. That any children be raised Muslim is one of the father's most important priorities in Islam.<br /><br />5. Mother's purity is the next reference: A man's honor is bound in the purity of the women of his household and must be maintained at all cost. This insult is one of the most damaging, often with fatal consequences for the family's women. The only way to restore the man's honor is by he/his sons/a close male relative killing the offending woman. The woman's purity is actually almost more culturally important than the man's reputation. It is the men who cast this aspersion to other men. It is “man’s insult” to another man. (Likewise, the “Your fathers are dogs.”)<br /><br />6. The Sherriff and get out of Dodge references seem immature, in a letter that is supposed to be threatening. It’s almost as if the writer got caught up in his personal snarking of Trump and the "fun" of the deception, momentarily forgot his audience (the Muslim community and their community activist supporters) and his purpose (to instill fear and to inflame anger via anonymous “hate mail”).Foolsfeedonfollynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7164794708270892518.post-48740401009495382532016-12-04T01:22:54.835-05:002016-12-04T01:22:54.835-05:00Bobcat, Very interesting.

It really would seem too that whoever is behind the writing of the letter has some very odd political aims with the intention of making Muslims think everyone hates them, so Mr Ayloush seems to fit the profile in that way also. Excellent work Bobcat.<br /><br />I am also interested in whether Peter thinks the "cleansing" reference in the note could suggest the writer has a sexual abuse history.

Similarly, the Council on American-Islamic Relations is proud of its efforts to defend civil liberties and foster mutual understanding through its coalition work and peace-building initiatives. But the likes of Emerson aren't interested in such efforts to promote peace, justice, and unity. This track record undermines their aims to conflate Islam and its 1.6 billion followers worldwide with extremism. The toxic rhetoric of Islamophobes like Emerson results in a greater susceptibility to hate-based attacks among American Muslim, Middle Eastern and Sikh communities.<br /><br />Recent history has taught us that the crimes of hateful groups like the Ku Klux Klan in the U.S. and the <b>Nazis in Germany</b> were the <b>natural result</b> of a deliberate attempt to dehumanize others through their vitriolic speech and propaganda. It is a shame that the Register and Cohen would give space to the likes of Emerson whom we believe aim to marginalize the American Muslim community, and divide Orange County and America."<br /><br />Mr. Ayloush fits the analysis profile.

I have been a lifelong human rights activist who seeks to promote societies in which all people, including immigrants, workers, minorities, and the needy enjoy freedom, justice, economic justice, respect, and equality.<br /><br />2. I hold a B.S. degree in Aerospace Engineering from University of Texas, Austin in 1994 and an M.B.A. degree from California State University, Fullerton in 1999.<br /><br />3. I have been Executive Director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (“CAIR”) in Southern California since 1998. I have appeared in, and written for, local, state, and national media on American Islamic issues.<br /><br />4. I was recently elected as a delegate for the 60th Assembly District and Executive Board member to the CA Democratic Party for a second term and earlier as a delegate to the Democratic National Convention in 2012. Through CAIR's work of education and engagement, I have sought to maintain close contact with public officials and various law enforcement agencies to ensure a better understanding and treatment of Muslims. I serve on the board of the Muslim American Homeland Security Congress. I also formerly served on the Multi-Cultural Advisory Council (MCAC), which advises the Los Angeles bureau of the FBI.<br /><br />5. I have known and worked with Cyrus McGoldrick and Linda Sarsour for years. All of us are aware of Steven Emerson’s hostility to Muslim activists in general and to CAIR in particular, and we are familiar with his frequent references to CAIR as an “unindicted coconspirator” in the case involving the Holy Land Foundation.<br /><br />6. On November 19, 2012, I received a tweet from Linda Sarsour (@lsarsour), who tweeted to @cyrusmcgoldrick) and me the link to an article by Emerson with the comment, “damn these Islamophobes love us.” I understood, as would any follower of ours, that this comment about Emerson’s affection for us was not to be taken as fact, but was a sarcastic and humorous reference to how much Emerson seems to dislike CAIR, and how often Emerson tries to smear CAIR.<br /><br />7. On the same day I received a tweet from McGoldrick, addressed to myself and Sarsour. “@lsarsour @hussama Steve Emerson is an unindicted co-conspirator in the largest child pornography case in US history.” I, of course, understood that McGoldrick did not mean the statement literally. Referring to Emerson as a co-conspirator in a child pornography case was obviously a way of ridiculing Emerson’s comment, which he makes frequently, that CAIR was an “unindicted co-conspirator in the largest terrorism financing case in history.”<br />_________________________________<br />HUSSAM AYLOUSH<br />July 14, 2013Bobcatnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7164794708270892518.post-56161060942678121172016-12-04T00:31:29.701-05:002016-12-04T00:31:29.701-05:00Hey Jude wrote

Muslim people are finding the letter extremely devastating.

Apparently it has been sent to many mosques throughout the country and was sent out of CA, and the FBI is presently trying to identify the writer. <br /><br />I did not feel comfortable suggesting to her that it may have actually been written by a Muslim, I simply reassured her that the FBI is on it.<br /><br />I'm not sure why people, including Muslims, don't take a moment to contemplate whether the writer of the letter deserves to be given so much emotional weight considering it could as has been suggested here, be a middle-school aged kid.
