Regarding Monika Kono's Sept. 12 letter, "Double standard against Christians": I do understand and agree with the feelings of the reader when it comes to religious freedom in many so-called Muslim countries. But I cannot agree that the United States should follow the same path of religious fanaticism. This country was built on the foundation of religious freedom and that's what we stand for.
Islam is very much part of America — like Christianity, Judaism or Hinduism. For example, the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, the oldest Muslim organization in the country, is very active in the community. It speaks out against religious persecution (www.muslimsforpeace.org) and intolerance anywhere across the world. It engages in humanitarian activities without bias against any color, race or nationality.
