A surprisingly literate Trump supporter in Iowa posted an ugly screed to The Islamic Center of Des Moines that was found yesterday and has naturally caused apprehension there.
“The handwritten note Dr. Samir Shams found called Muslims "filthy" and "vile" people.
The note was signed only "Americans for a Better Way" and appeared to be written by someone who claims to support President Trump. The note made Holocaust references, saying Trump is "going to do to you Muslims what Hitler did to the Jews."It warned Muslims to "pack your bags and get out of Dodge."
"We take something like this seriously," said Shams. "You never know when it could get to another level."
Free of any misspellings you might expect, considering the source of the missive, the sender is OTOH geographically challenged, thinking he is in Dodge City, Kansas.
There is some good news, however…
“Shams said the Islamic center is thankful for their "good neighbors" in the Des Moines community who reached out after word spread about the note Sunday.
One community member dropped off a card reading, "I heard about the hateful letter you received. Know that you are welcome here." Another left flowers and put up a sign near the center's driveway reading "You Belong" with a picture of the Statue of Liberty.
Shams said he plans to meet with members of the FBI on Monday to discuss the incident. He said the Islamic center has video footage of the incident they'll release to officials along with the threatening note.”
Sounds like they may have the jerk on video... I certainly hope so.
