Recently we got some hate mail from someone calling themselves Baruch Goldstein. Obviously a reference to the Extremist Jewish settler who killed 30 Muslim worshippers at the Ibrahimi Mosque in Hebron. It seems the ghost of Baruch Goldstein haunts us still and he came back from the dead to let us know what he thinks about Islam and our website.
Baruch Goldstein
Nice try at obfuscating the supremacist, genocidal ideology of islam from the actions carried out in its name.
I know Armenians that would rip your f**king head off Abdul.
He ends his polite email with the hallmark of the spirit of Goldstein, a call to violence. Goldstein (none of us are Abdul’s by the way), I know Armenians who would happily have a cup of tea with us here at LoonWatch and would rather not rip our heads off.

Douchebag is the only term that fits here. Armenians would flee from the creep.

Take that hate-mail as a badge of honor. You know you’re doing well when this kind of freaks gets out of the rock they were crawling under to spit their venom.

I hope Loonwatch keeps a database of IP addresses, should you need to report to the police.
From the tone of the email, it sounds like whoever sent it is trying to stir up anti Armenian feeling here too, for some reason.
To me, that sounds like someone playing the Turkey card (Armenian genocide) and since the threat is most likely to be coming from one of those who have been “exposed” here, and who may also have a grudge against Turkey…(it doesn’t take a genius to figure out who it may be
ummm, an enemy of Turkey and who has been featured here…well the name ROBERT SPENCER, comes to mind, as he is of Greek origins and probably resents Turkey’s coquest of Constantinople…that’s not to say that it is him who sent the email, but it may be someone who is a fan of his, or it may not…
That is pure speculation though, and it may well be a fan of someone else who has had the honour of being exposed here….it may be a complete stranger…or pamela geller or one of those connected to him..
Oh well, Loonwatch, just be vigilante, this is part of the bloggers game, it happens to everyone who blogs…and quite frankly if you didn’t get threats, it would mean your website was not attracting interest.
I would advise you to be careful though, and not give any personal information to anyone even if they appear friendly here. They could be plants.
Well….that’s enough detective work for this evening…:))

Sucks for him though because a majority of Armenians do not like Israel to begin with. Not to mention that they are the staunchest supporters of Palestine within the Christian world.

Maybe you should write on the whole thing more often
