Hello there: Dr. E. here. This is the second article in a series by new TMV writer, Dr. A: Arif Ahmad, a Pakistani-American cardiologist from Wisconsin. [This post is timely, though written a few days ago, as today, December 7-2015, Mr.Trump has called for a stop to all immigration of Muslims to the USA; what Trump called a “total and complete shutdown” of Muslims’ ability to enter the United States “until our country’s representatives can figure out what is going on.” Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski is quoted as saying the ban would apply to “everybody,” including both immigrants and tourists.”]

Your thoughtful and civil comments are appreciated.

Dear Mr. Donald Trump,

Are you really happening?

I thought long and hard about taking you up. I asked myself if I should even take someone who carries whatever that thing is on your shoulders seriously. The answer was obvious. I had to do this for all our children.

First it was the Hispanics and now the Muslims. I find your comments on American Muslim database and closing of the Mosques in poor taste though probably a good reflection of your person and personality.

Not only was the question and your answer Un-American but let me make something very clear to you right at the outset. As much as you exude inequality, please for a minute do not think that you are any more American than any other law abiding citizen.

If anything such questions and comments only polarize the society more and create layers of citizenships the exact breeding grounds for the misery which at the breaking point of some souls is called extremism, the worst form of which is terrorism.

Actually tell me a little more about your forefathers. Were they looking for a better life, fleeing persecution, why really did they come to America? How were they welcomed? Has any of the Trumps ever committed a crime and if yes does that make all Trumps criminal?

I believe you are a decoy. A person who is creating so much damage in his path that it will make your opponent run away with the race. The disservice you are doing to your party and its ideals is probably beyond repair in the short term at least.

Not only this, you are hurting the very basic fabric of this country. You are so not American and pro-anarchy, chaos and terrorism. You are a terrorist’s best case scenario for you shall increase the breeding grounds several folds.

You divert energies away from the real issues by assuming that all lives are not equal. You are a symbol of what America is not, a cocky, rude, obnoxious, disrespectful, and distasteful billionaire. Please remind me to remove this last line from my final draft as I am trying my best not to stoop down to your level of ‘decency.’

Shame on you and your thought processes.

Enough. Please.

Let me also educate you about Islam in one line. Like any other faith, Islam is just as good as the majority of its followers and just as poor as its deviants and distractors and yes it has nothing to do with the price of tea in China.

And yes as long as you keep unloading such misery and then some more, deviant response, extremism and terrorism are going to keep flourishing and that is probably why so far all the King’s men and all the King’s horses have been unable to put Humpty Dumpty together again.

So to our equal American children, I say, be as much pro-Islam, pro-all religions or no religion, pro-America, pro-world, pro-humanity, pro-universe as you want and wish.
You all go and drown this world in good.

Best always.

Arif Ahmad
