I've experienced that here, and believe me, they're more serious here. Hardliner radical people here threatening me for my liberal views. All that happened was I once took a beating which wasn't that bad!
And Aaron, about that letter supposedly by Ms. Lyday. It's not by her:

And I don't see what's wrong with some of the points mentioned. Obama said that the US is no more a christian nation and that it is now a nation of different beliefs...which is true.
Most of the other points show that the author...whoever that is...does not have a proper understanding of public diplomacy. The trips and speeches Obama has done to Europe and the Middle East are pubic diplomacy that have made you much safer than before - much more than the two wars ever made you safe.
"One of the great strengths of the United States, is ... we have a very large Christian population -- we do not consider ourselves a Christian nation or a Jewish nation or a Muslim nation. We consider ourselves a nation of citizens who are bound by ideals and a set of values."
