What’s Wrong With This Picture?

F**kin’ asslifters. [my censorship]

The Dhimmification of the U.S. military is complete.

One very angry Army veteran expresses a point of view shared by many in and out of the military. The Left rails against so-called Christian excesses and beliefs but totally ignores death to infidels and the stoning of women for no more than looking at another man or showing their faces in public.

Adhan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia



Adhan is called out by the muezzin in the mosque five times a day, traditionally from a minaret, summoning Muslims for mandatory (fard) prayers (salah).

Don't be so dense!

This is a pictures of members of the U.S. Department of Defense in THE PENTAGON!

They are certainly entitled to their beliefs. But, I find it disgusting that members of a religion that preaches death to all non-believers blatantly display their religion in the center of the organization mandated by the U.S. constitution to defend this nation from foreign and DOMESTIC enemies.

ASSUMING that picture was made at the Pentagon Interfaith Chapel (there's no evidence one way or the other), the main thing wrong with this post is....that it's a lie.

All faiths hold services in the Chapel and the participants may be in uniform. It is run by two military Chaplains, one a Nazarene and the other a Southern Baptist.

Reward for combat duty: Loss of jobs
May 6, 2013 - The jobs of the nation's citizen-soldiers are supposed to be safe while they are serving their country: Federal law does not allow employers to penalize service members because of their military duties.

Yet every year, thousands of National Guard and Reserve troops coming home from Afghanistan and elsewhere find they have been replaced, demoted, or denied benefits or seniority. Government agencies are among the most frequent offenders, accounting for about a third of the more than 15,000 complaints filed with federal authorities since the end of September 2001, records show. Others named in the cases include some of the biggest names in American business, such as Wal-Mart and United Parcel Service.

With good jobs still scarce in many states, the illegal actions have contributed to historically high joblessness among returning National Guard and Reserve members -- as high as 50% in some California units -- and created a potential obstacle to serving. "The whole point of the National Guard and reserves, how they save the country money, is they get paid only when they are serving," said Sam Wright, director of the Service Members Law Center at the Reserve Officers Assn. "It's a great deal for the country, but if we don't protect their civilian jobs ... they aren't going to volunteer and serve." Veterans' advocates say that the heavy use of the nation's citizen-soldiers to fight the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan placed a burden on employers in a tough economy. Even as 11 years of war wind down, Guard and Reserve members are being called up for peacekeeping and other duties around the world.

The Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act, a 1994 law that strengthened job protections for returning troops first introduced during World War II, requires that service members are reemployed in the type of position they would have attained if they had not been called to active duty. Just how many service members are being denied jobs illegally is impossible to know. The nonpartisan Government Accountability Office estimated in 2005 that fewer than a third of service members with complaints seek help from the government. Many don't file lawsuits, either. Even so, the Labor Department and Office of Special Counsel, which investigate complaints for possible prosecution, have seen cases surge from 848 in fiscal 2001 to 1,577 in the 12 months ending in September 2011. Last year, the agencies handled 1,436 new cases, according to preliminary figures.

A Defense Department program that tries to mediate disputes handled 2,884 cases in fiscal 2011 alone, including 299 that went to the Labor Department when they could not be resolved informally. Although the law says the federal government should be a "model employer," federal agencies accounted for nearly 20% of the formal complaints in fiscal 2012, about twice the share recorded in 2007. The departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs lead the way with 105 and 47 complaints respectively. President Obama instructed federal agencies last July to intensify efforts to ensure compliance. But officials say it has been a challenge to ensure that supervisors working at offices across the country are familiar with the requirements. Obtaining redress can take months, if not years. For service members, the experience can be a maddening double-blow.

Amid flaring political debate about a proposed New York City mosque near Ground Zero, there has been little commotion about the Pentagon's chapel where Muslims can gather in daily prayer near where a hijacked jetliner struck the building Sept. 11, 2001.

Sometimes misidentified as the "Pentagon Mosque," the non-denominational Pentagon Memorial Chapel maintained by the Pentagon Chaplain's Office is where department employees who practice Islam can meet to pray.

Located at the site where the hijacked American Airlines flight 77 struck the Defense Department headquarters, the chapel honors the memory of the 184 victims of the 9/11 attack.

The 100-seat chapel is available to Pentagon employees of all faiths to come in prayer as they wish throughout the day. The Pentagon Chaplain's Office schedules weekly religious services in the chapel for Jews, Hindus, Muslims, Protestants and Episcopalians, as well as a daily Catholic Mass. Muslim worshippers can gather daily to offer prayers and can attend a Friday Prayer Service led by an Imam

In a nation with a 1st Amendment guarantee of the freedom of religion, and in a Pentagon dedicated to defending that Constitution against all enemies....why is AMERICAN Muslim's praying in an AMERICAN chapel, in the AMERICAN Pentagon a bad thing to you?

What? Do you think it's un-American or something?

 

[longknife]

Because Islam is a religion with a political system that claims to be above any other secular government. How can a faithful member of Islam serve any government that does not claim Allah's laws as being superior?

That we can still maintain our Constitutional protections of freedom of religion makes me proud of my country.

"...At least 6,024 U.S. service members who declared Islam as their faith have served honorably in overseas war deployments since the 9/11 attacks, and 14 Muslim-American troops have been killed in action, all in Iraq, the Pentagon informed the Committee’s Majority Staff. We honor these American heroes, four of whom are buried in nearby Arlington National Cemetery, for making the ultimate sacrifice in service of our nation...."

What do you say to them? That they're not "American" enough to suit you?
