Defense department agrees to allow Muslim cadets to wear hijabs

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) announced today that the Department of Defense will begin allowing Muslim and Sikh students who wear an Islamic head scarf (hijab) or a turban to participate in the Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (JROTC).

“We welcome the fact that Muslim and Sikh students nationwide will now be able to participate fully in JROTC leadership activities while maintaining their religious beliefs and practices,” said CAIR National Executive Director Nihad Awad.

In October, the Washington-based Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization wrote to Defense Secretary Leon Panetta after a 14-year-old Muslim student at Ravenwood High School in Brentwood, Tenn., was forced to transfer out of a JROTC class when her commanding officers told her she could not wear hijab while marching in the September homecoming parade.

JROTC = Jack and Shit to the real military.

1/2 of the time their uniforms are all dicked up anyways.

 

[rightwinger]

JROTC?

Who gives a shit?

 

[Sallow]

I thought this was the regular military.

I would be in strong agreement with the thread if it was. No religious symbols should be allowed on the uniforms. That's one of the reasons they are called "uniforms".

JROTC?

It's that attitude right there that is the reason for most of the CRAP that CREEPS it's way into our life and traditions... the "who gives a shitters." Obviously the fucking MUSLIMS give a shit, enough to IMPOSE their SHIT on AMERICAN TRADITIONS.

Thank God for those of us who care, otherwise this country would be far worse now than it already is.

JROTC = Jack and Shit to the real military.

So school where cadets learn how to become soldiers is JACK SHIT? You don't know much about the military do you?

1/2 of the time their uniforms are all dicked up anyways.

Prove it.

Chip chip away..

all our traditions are being spit on..

good job.

Yeah. Me too.

Given the thread author, you should have anticipated the deception.

The ability of the right to obsess over irrelevant idiocy is remarkable.

Blah, blah, blah.

You are right. I don't give a shit about High School kids who want to play soldier.

You can go apeshit if you want.

LMAO. They aren't learning to "become soldiers". If they were, they'd have to actually adhere to the height/weight and PT standards that real soldiers do. They are not under contract and have no legal obligation to serve. They are also not under the UCMJ.

It's basically a snazzy recruiting tool for the military.

I remember helping to assist a JROTC unit on an FTX once. It was pretty funny.

1/2 of the time their uniforms are all dicked up anyways.

Prove it.

Anecdotal.

It's not a dumb move by the DOD. If we are going to recruit High School students, we should reach out to Muslims as they speak the language and know the culture of the places were are currently fighting wars.

For a second I thought this was going to be about the Military Academies or ROTC and I was going to be as upset as the next man.

But JROTC? Please.

 

[Mr. President]

This is Bull Shit. What happened to separation of Church and State? Or is that only Christian church and State?

 

[Kiki Cannoli]

I don't think any religious display should be tolerated as such, I don't support this admission.

But please explain, What American tradition is being spit on?

lol agreed but this seems really dumb to me.

 

[Sunni Man]

The British Army has allowed this type of head gear to be worn for years with no problems.

 

[old navy]

JROTC is a high school elective.

Most of the kids do not enter the military after high school or college.

As someone else said, JROTC kids look like a bag of asses in uniform anyway.

 

[old navy]

I think this should be an approved uniform item.
