US Army Halts training labeling Christians as Extremist

[ABikerSailor]

I find it interesting that some people consider blogs as news and think that they're telling the gospel truth.

Got news for you..................if it's a blog or labeled an opinion piece, it's what someone thinks and not really what is true.

I mean...........................FAUX Nooze has done a good job of labeling their opinions as "news" and "truth" because so many of you sheeple agree with, and spout it, as fact.

You think MSNBC is going to report this?

What do you think Fox is lying about here? The training that labels Christians as extremists, or that the Army ordered a halt to such training?

WORLD | Army Reserve presentation calls Christians ?extremists? | Leigh Jones | April 5, 2013

The Archdiocese for the Military Services, which endorses priests to work in the military and at VA Medical Centers, chastised the Army for the presentation in a statement issued Thursday: “The Archdiocese is astounded that Catholics were listed alongside groups that are, by their very mission and nature, violent and extremist.”

The list of groups used in the presentation appears to have come from the Southern Poverty Law Center, an organization that has applied a “hate group” label to Christian organizations based on their beliefs about homosexuality.

According to the archdiocese, the Army Chief of Chaplains office investigated the training module and found it an isolated incident not condoned by the Department of the Army. It urged the military’s commanders to take steps to prevent similar training sessions in the future.

George Wright, an Army spokesman at the Pentagon, confirmed the presentation was produced by an individual without consent from or knowledge of the Army's chain of command. The presentation is more than a year old, Wright said: "After receiving a single complaint following the presentation, this person deleted the slide, and it was never again shown. … This person has apologized for any offense it may have caused, and we consider the matter closed."

In addition to labeling evangelical Protestants and Catholics as extremists, the training module said soldiers were prohibited from supporting “extremist organizations” by attending public rallies and meetings or taking leadership roles in the groups.

Chaplain Ron Crews, a retired colonel in the U.S. Army Reserve and the executive director for the Chaplain Alliance for Religious Liberty, also condemned the presentation.

“Men and women of faith who have served the Army faithfully for centuries shouldn’t be likened to those who have regularly threatened the peace and security of the United States,” he said in a statement. “It is dishonorable for any U.S. military entity to allow this type of wrongheaded characterization.”​

Do you think Wright and Crews were tricked by Fox into believing this?

Nice....................you quote some Adobe internet blog, and then quote some other blog to prove your point.

Tell ya what.......................when you can come back with a REAL news source, and especially if you can quote over 3 of them, then maybe I'll believe you.

Until then? Blogs and opinion pieces don't really work.................it's just someone else spewing the same bullshit that you want to believe, yet, there are no facts to back it up.

Keep trying though.......................

Your definition of a REAL news source being, of course, one that rubber-stamps White House press releases and reads them verbatim.

Run along now.
