His first email to me:

Extremists such as yourself and your followers invoke extremism. Why don't you, as the richer, more influential party in the world, use your power to get people together instead of killing each other? Think of all the good things you could be doing with your money.
But no, you choose evil over humanity. If there is a god, he will surely judge you and sent you down to hell together with your extremist brothers from al-quaida. With your views and ideas you are indeed exactly the same evil. No less, no more.

D....,
I have no idea what you're talking about. Fighting against terrorism is not extremism, it's the only way civilization can survive.

As for there being a much better application for the money that's being spent to turn back militant Islam, money that could be spent on the betterment of civilization and peoples around the world, you and I are in 100% agreement. Unfortunately, the decision to go in that direction rests with militant Islam; it is only in response to their desire to establish Islam as the ruler of the world. If you don't understand that, you will soon.

However, as I mentioned above I'll say again. Yes, you are right, we could all be using the money fighting the existing and expanding war to prevent militant Islam from destroying Western civilization, to a much greater and humane use.

Mr Richard,

... don't try to act as if you and I ultimately have the same ideas about humanity. You (measured by the content of the website you work for) and I have opposite goals, we are opposite peoples. You are a rightwing fanatic, calling legitimate resistance-groups 'terrorists' and you speak about terrorism as if it is a big threat. You lie to your own readers on a daily basis by intentionally withholding essential information about the middle-east-conflict. You incite anger and fear that are totally disproportional.

In this; I am the good guy, fighting for oppressed peoples and fighting for honest journalism.

There is little terrorism (which I detest) in the world today and some more legitimate (but harsh) resistance against several occupiers. The us and britain sell their wars and actions as 'fighting terrorism', but the truth is that they are merely fighting for gain of power, influence and oil. And in doing so, they kill, lie, cheat and pressure anyone that they will find on their way, or even worse, just anyone they can misuse for their (commercial) goals.

Now, I know that I am not gonna change your mind, and after this letter you will not hear from me again since I feel that debating with any person associated with such a website as yours is pointless. But I feel it to be my duty to point out to you once again, that the writings on your website are extremist poison and you are not helping mankind in any way. Even worse, allthough you won't acknowledge it; you are part of the problem. And because extremism invokes extremism, I am becoming part of the problem also.

Maybe on the day that you die, you will look in the mirror and turn completely cold inside when you finally realise that you actively contributed in harming your fellow man. Whether he is a white one or one with a bit of colouring and a different religion.

Having conversed with people like this many times in the past, I know that no amount of discourse will change their minds, so I no longer try. I usually make one pass at reasonable dialogue, but after that I don't waste my time. Ergo, I'm open to suggestions from readers as to how I/we should reply!

Perhaps the most alarming thing about this email is that people like this are allowed to breed - and they do - more of the same - and not just biologically.
