Reader: Let Fred Phelps and Westboro Baptist Church lie

Our post on the death of notorious Westboro Baptist Church leader and funeral protester Fred Phelps stirred up a lot of emotions in readers — no surprise there.

Writes Latifah Abdul’laah:

You should have kept it classy…if you wanted to really stick it to them, you’d have wished him a peaceful journey and left it alone.
