The edited/censored Letter to the Editor


The published letter:

While Donald Trump is definitely not my choice for US president, his latest statement on Muslim immigration has a precedent in US history. During the Cold War, Communist Party members needed a special waiver to enter the US.

The actual letter sent: 

While Donald Trump is definitely not my choice for US president, his latest statement on Muslim immigration has a precedent in US history. During the Cold War, Communist Party members needed a special waiver to enter the US. Islam is a religion as well as an ideology and the purpose of Political Islam is to through stealth jihad and Sharia Law overthrow the government of the US.

It is precisely the third sentence of the letter that the Jerusalem Post letters editor chose to ignore which is essential.   The crux of the whole argument is that Islam is a political ideology as well as a religion, and this fact is being ignored by virtually everyone in their reaction to Trump’s statement. After all, Ayatollah Khomeini said: " Islam is politics or it is nothing."
