Thanks Michael. Your points are well taken. At this time the threatening emails have been forwarded to the section of the FBI that deals with hate crimes etc. If and when I do talk to them I will limit my discussion to the facts at hand in this case and if necessary, to the very public work that I do. I also won't be meeting with them alone. This is why I've asked CAIR to assist me in this process, and they are being very helpful. These issues aren't new to them, neither is the slippery slope of reporting hate crimes to the same agency that is harassing the very community they represent.
