At least six mosques have received vile and threatening letters. I would be very worried if my family attended any of these mosques. The writer claims to support Donald Trump, but does he (or she?)
Who benefits by this letter? If a person wanted to bomb a mosque they would have already done so. So the purpose of the letter is to frighten people. Donald Trump is trying to court gays, blacks, and other minorities. His coalition of moderates and independents have been fickle in the past. These people supported President Obama in the past. Anything that increases racial fear weakens Trump's coalition a little. This is why Hillary Clinton kept warning about a white backlash. It never happened because oppressing minorities is short-sighted and immoral. According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, the number of racist whites in America has dwindled to no more than 6000. It is possible that a racist white person wrote the threatening letters. It is also possible that one of Hillary Clinton's bitter, die hard supporters wrote the six letters. When something like this happens again, ask yourself who benefits the most? i learned that from watching Agatha Christie movies.
