Najma’s been getting ridiculous email.

From: jay franks<br/> Date: 02/10/05 23:53:49<br/> To: nblog04@gmail.com<br/> Subject: your blog

i dont understand why you always post dumb comments, like how americans are constantly shooting randomly like scared idiots. grow up. american soldiers receive 2 years of training in the US before they are even sent to iraq, so i highly doubt they start shooting any anything that moves during a conflict. it’s disturbing to see the increase in your propoganda for the terrorists and your blatant lies about americans. are you a racist? i’m positive no one in your immediate family voted or even cares about freedom. you would probably prefer to live in a stricly islamic society with a government like the taliban. your english is poor and you’re a spoiled ignorant muslim fool that knows nothing about what is going on in your own country. show a little respect before you post such stupid things..

I’ll let you read her response, but part of the argument is that her grammar is horrible. So she replies, rightly, I think, that she dares him to find more mistakes in her blog than in an American teenager’s, so he replies again about her horrible grammar, but he didn’t apparently have the simple intelligence to maintain his own standards while lecturing her on her own.

The irony was too great, so I couldn’t help correcting him:

First of all, i can find several mistakes in your email, so i wouldn’t even need to look for errors in your blog. and you know very little aboutamerican teens, so i really don’t know why you are so arrogant and think you are better at english grammar than they are. you’re just a childish little girl that doesnt know what she is even posting most of the time. most of your information probably comes from al-jazeera and michael moore movies. you probably think the americans and the jews are responsibile for all the car bombs. i dont believe in your God, allah, and i dont support your racist egotistical views of the world. you are a follower of a sick and evil religion that enjoys cutting peoples heads off and killing innocent old ladies. you people are scared and very disturbed mentally. sick sunni people, like you and your terrorist loving family, don’t deservefreedom. you only deserve more car bombs and more death.

I’m sure I missed way more. His sentence structures are so abysmal it’s impossible to correct everything without spending much more time rewriting it than I’m willing to spend.

If I were her, though, and I got email like that, I would be actually quite upset, and it would probably take me several days to get over it (I’m a wimp, I know). So that would be one heard and mind lost for those days. So what is he hoping to accomplish, by insulting a young Iraqi girl? I know he’s just some stupid moron, and none of us should pay him any attention, because life is short, et cetera, but I just don’t get it. What a waste.
