I received this in my email box. I don't generally pass on chain emails, but I don't see anything wrong with posting it here.

From: "Patrick Dempsey"
To: registrator@foreign.ministry.se

Subject: Terror Art has no Honour

My name is Patrick Dempsey. I am an Irish Catholic author on the Holocaust and I am appalled that any credence can be given to a piece of "artwork" which so denies the right of peaceful citizens to go about their daily lives. The mass murder of innocents does not constitute a piece of art. It is abhorrent to think so. Art that depicts the murder of innocents deserves nothing but contempt. If you can look to the lives of Swedes, forfeited in the name of future art, then you know more about the potency of ignorance than I do. Murder is murder, it is no more than that. The Jews have experienced this anti-Semitic outpouring for thousands of years.

The most graven image ever to come before mankind is the Holocaust. Lest we forget? 6,000,000 Jews were murdered while we, the West, Christianity and the enlightened, did nothing or next to nothing and even very little to help these Jews. We have done precious little to assuage our own guilt. If it would prove problematic to depict the ashes of 6,000,000 murdered Jews as other than an affront to human dignity, and our own Humanity, it is inhuman to represent, as other than a depraved act by a Godless murderer, the destruction of:-

1) Ze'ev Almog -71,
2) Ruth Almog -70,
3) Moshe Almog -43,
4) Tomer Almog -9,
5) Assaf Staier -11, the grandchildren
6) Bruria Zer-Aviv -59,
7) Bezalel -30, her son and
8) his wife Keren -29,
9) Liran -4,
10) Noya -1 the grandchildren,
11) Zvi Bahat -35,
12) Mark Biano -29 and
13) his wife Naomi -25,
14) Hana Francis -39,
15) Mutanus Karkabi -31,
16) Sharbal Matar -23,
17) Osama Najar -28,
18) Nir Regev -25,
19) Irena Sofrin -38,
20) Lydia Zilberstein -56,
21) George Matar -59.

What one person chooses to call art does not make it art. What one person represents as free speech becomes racial hatred, if the intention is to abuse an other's rights. Sweden stands accused of erring toward the indifferent. There is but one line drawn in the sand and it is for those to stand either side, for Law and Order, for Justice and Integrity or for those who wish an expression of age old bigotry, hatred, terror and Intolerance to continue. Terrorism is not heroic! Suicide bombers have no honour, they do not deserve praise, they deserve ignominy, castigation and damnation.

--What to Do Next and for those of you who come after, if you endorse my anti-Genocidal views click on Reply to All and Cc: to one more recipient. Spread the word, before the murder of a Loved one becomes a mockery of all human emotion!

"Syme: It's a beautiful thing, the destruction of words. You wouldn't have seen the [Newspeak] Dictionary 10th edition, would you Smith? It's that thick. [illustrates thickness with fingers] The 11th Edition will be that [narrows fingers] thick. Winston Smith: So, The Revolution will be complete when the language is perfect? Syme: The secret is to move from translation, to direct thought, to automatic response. No need for self-discipline. Language coming from here [the larynx], not from here [the brain]" -1984 (film)
