WARNING: Muslims(?) Using Fraud to Get Gmail Passwords

I just received a third attempt to obtain my gmail password. The wording of all of these messages is the same and they are a type of phishing attempt. If they can get your password, they can then delete your entire blog. I believe these attempts originate with online jihadis as they always come right after I criticize Islam.

Their phony warning email to me (and my responses in red) are below.

Nice try, you illiterate bastards. Your lousy spelling and punctuation give you away.

Warning: Phishing Attempts Made on GMail Accounts

Certain leftists and practically all Jihadis would delete this blog (and others like it) if they could.

If leftists/jihadis had my gmail password, they could use it to delete Saber Point. A couple of mouse clicks and three years of blogging would disappear in an instant. Yesterday some of them attempted to get that password by sending me a fraudulent email purporting to be from Google.
