I sent this letter to a local "conservative" radio talk show host that I've been listening to in the mornings. I talk about Christian culture, but many of the same things could apply to Jewish people too because of the basic decent morality we're all trying to conserve.

Dear Joe, I've been listening to your program on my way home from work recently and I don't understand why you say things the way you do. When you get a caller who is anti-Islam, or who is against Islam gaining a foothold here in America, you tend to shoot them down, and act as if Islam is just as much of a part of the American way of life as say, Christianity. You seem to be of the opinion that a mosque is equivalent in every way to a church and just as benevolent in nature. I really don't understand how you can take this stance and then still describe yourself as conservative. What are we conservatives trying to conserve, if not Western values and Christian culture and Biblical morals?
One thing that really stood out to me and that was when you said that the terrorists on 9/11 "claimed to be Muslim". Joe, come on man, be serious! Are you saying that they weren't following what Islam teaches and weren't doing their terrorist acts in the name of Islam? All Muslims believe in jihad because war is what Mohammed used to spread his religion. There is just no getting around that fact, no matter how prettily you try to dress it up, no matter how much they say they're for peace. Muslims are laughing at you because you fall for their taqqiya.
I'm sorry if this letter seems disrespectful, but I feel very upset whenever I listen to you shoot down callers who take a stronger stance on Islam than yourself.
