7. I respectfully wish to disagree with this issue being an issue.
Edited on Mon Jan-25-10 07:07 AM by Festivito
I understand that some of our military can misuse such things. But, lets be clear, these are our nut-heads, not Islam's nut-heads.

Islam accepts Jesus as a prophet (yes, not as a god, just a prophet) and accepts the Bible as the prophet Jesus' book. Quoting the Bible is not a problem for Islamics: Muslims.

So, why the continued outrage? I charge that this issue is CERTAINLY not driven by Muslims, it is partly driven because some have already made a strong loud stand, is could be driven by a desire to spend more tax dollars in shock doctrine style, it is mostly driven by a NOT UNREASONABLE zealousness against religions in general since too many religions have been co-opted into performing for the Republicans.

The last is, too, reason for me to be angry, but my path in rectifying the Religion-political connection is different. We don't need to resort to promoting this kind of non-issue as an issue.

EDIT: Some clarity
