Dear Mr. President:

This Sunday morning I awoke to the news that another American has been beheaded by ISIL.  While I remain grateful and supportive of all your efforts to contain the evil of ISIL, I am emboldened enough to respect ask for your consideration of the following:

First, a declaration quarantining the geographical region where ISIL is present and active. 

Second, the ordering of all American civilians within said quarantined areas to return either home or to known safe places where the possibility of being kidnapped by ISIL would be all but eliminated.

I understand that some would dismiss my request as harsh and drastic.  Nevertheless, amongst the goals of our government to find and cut off the financial funding and arms to ISIL, why can we not add cutting off the availability of innocent American civilians for ISIL to kidnap and murder.  Our national family must not have to endure any more slaughtering of our loved ones.

I thank you for considering my request and please know that you have my prayers and support in your efforts to combat the evil of ISIL.

I remain,


Respectfully Yours,



Bishop James Alan Wilkowski
Presiding Bishop for the Evangelical Catholic Church
