Did I feel threatened?

A few years ago I received an e-mail from a purported terrorist who worked for ADC out of Washington, D.C. I forwarded it to the FBI and below is how the entire situation unfolded. By the way, ADC is the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, a civil rights organization committed to defending the rights of people of Arab descent and promoting their rich cultural heritage, so their website states. Marvin Wingfield is their Education Director.

Personally I don't see much difference between Americans and Israelis.

Both are regrouped scumbags from all over the world and both massacred the original inhabitants of the lands.

America is terrorist state since it was created, Jews didn't told Americans to butcher Red Indians, Jews didn't ordered Americans to massacre Filipinos, Jews didn't asked Americans to invade Caribbean islands and annihilated people in there, Jews didn't dropped nukes over Japan, Jews have no aims in butchering Vietnamese, Laotian nation or Cambodians.

Americans did those things because they were born MURDERERS.

Now, regarding Palestinian cause, Americans are not under the control of Jews, but in fact Israel is the one under the control. Americans can flix their muscles whenever they want, and Israelis can't help but to obey the orders coming from Washington.

Blaming Jews is the thing that makes Americans sons of b*tch feel slightly comfortable with, because it gives them the sense that they are under the control of external power and they wouldn't do what they did.

This is bullsh*t, Americans are our enemies as being Arabs.

And one day when we are finished with Israel, we will force the bastards behind the Atlantic to pay it back with their own blood.

Arabs don't forget nor forgive.

Sorry if my words hurt you, but it's not a personal.

My letter to ADC:

I received a threatening e-mail from your organization. I have no idea how my name and e-mail address came to the attention of the person who wrote it. Following is the letter and the response from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, which I forwarded on to them. I do not believe your organization is responsible for this letter, but I do feel it is your civic duty to find the person responsible and deal with him/her in accordance to the laws of the United States of America.

I did receive a very good letter from the attorney for ADC, apologizing and explaining that, yes, Marvin Wingfield does indeed work for ADC and, no, he is not at all responsible for the e-mail. He stated that ADC and the FBI work closely together on terrorist matters and ADC takes these threats very seriously. He asked me to send him anything else I might receive in the future, which I didn't. He asked me to call him personally if I felt the need.

Somewhere along the way, I lost this final response from the ADC attorney, but the whole thing was handled in such a professional manner, I considered the matter closed.
