Dear Mr. Swan,

Thank you for your thoughtful post, for your kindness, for not succumbing t0 the media, for being a good enough person to believe that no religion in this world could possibly support such violent, disgusting, and inhumane acts. These people who call themselves followers of Islam have absolutely no clue what Islam actually teaches and have absolutely nothing to do with me or any other TRUE Muslim. I sincerely wish there were more people like you who understood that.

Thank you, again, for making me feel there’s still some hope left.
