Excerpt:
Clarksville Mayor Johnny Piper is being criticized by local and national Muslims for forwarding an anti-Islamic e-mail Friday morning.
The e-mail urges "patriotic Americans" to protest a U.S. Postal Service stamp commemorating two Islamic holidays.
Piper did not make any comments in his e-mail, the body of which has been circulating nationally.
The e-mail asks readers to remember a series of what it calls "Muslim" terrorist attacks. For example, "Remember the MUSLIM bombing of the World Trade Center in 1993!"
After a series of similar comments, the e-mail concludes: "To use this stamp would be a slap in the face to all those AMERICANS who diaed at the hands of those whom this stamp honors.
"REMEMBER: Pass this along to every Patriotic AMERICAN that you know and let's get the word out!!!"
