Letter to the Editor: Naftali Thomas responds to allegations of racism

I am not a racist. I did not make any statement that could have been viewed as racist.

There was nothing in my letter to allow Dr. Afflitto to brand me a racist. I did not label every Muslim. My point was that many Muslims with little or no connection to the area are coming out of the woodwork to stand by their fellow Muslims for the first time in recent history.

I made no racist statements. I asked questions about historical incidents and how they relate to current events. Instead of answering my questions, both Afflitto and Michael Zimny chose to attack me personally rather than to deal with the issues I was trying to clarify.

Those who called me childish are now in an all-out name-calling war and are ignoring the historical and political issues at hand. No wonder there has been so little progress.
