My Email to Kaukab Siddique

Dr Siddique, 


I was greatly disappointed that you broke off our Facebook exchange last night. 

As a former part-time teacher at a major California university, I would have 

expected you to engage in the free exchange of ideas as any good university

professor should. Instead you shut down your site and hid. I would like to share 

with you my last comment which I was unsuccessful in posting. 

" Whatever it says in the Bible it is old pages gathering centuries of dust 

may oppose gay marriage, but we don’t kill them. Obviously in Islam it is still

carried out- with your approval. You also approve of killing blasphemers and 
those who speak ill of mohammad. Remember this? 'Almost all Islamic scholars 

of French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo killed 12 people." 

I would have liked you to discuss your apparent support for killing blasphemers 
and justify it if you can. 

Had we gone further, I would have liked you to discuss why apostates from Islam 
are punished by death. 

I would have liked to go further into your history of slurs against Jews. 

I would like you to explain how we can implement these barbaric practices in the US-a country you have chosen

 

 But you apparently are not willing to engage with those who have taken the time 

to do the research. Sincerely, Gary Fouse Orange County, Calif.
