Reality

By razib on November 6, 2008.

A Muslim blogger who I am acquainted with, Tariq Nelson, has been threatened:

To the coward that called from a BLOCKED NUMBER and threatened me! I HAVE CALLED the police and I am PUSHING HARD to FIND OUT WHO YOU ARE and I will prosecute to the fullest extent possible! Apparently you know of me in some way or know someone that had my phone number. I am not going to tolerate your BS for one second and I will NOT allow you to harm me or my family.

I am posting here so that everyone will know that I am receiving these threats and that a phone call is too close to home. I want people to know that in the event that anything happens to me or my children they will know that I have been receiving threats.

You will NOT intimidate me into stopping my message or achieving my goals.

And these are supposed to be "Godly" people???

H/T Aziz.
