This isn’t a religious war, but it seems the religious Right thinks it is. There comes a point where the degree of separation between our religious loons and radical jihadists in the Middle East are indistinguishable by all but native language.

Bush administration and the Pentagon brass understood the historical dynamic of the relationship between the predominately Christian West and the predominately Muslim Middle East well enough… to send a succession of women Secys of State to talk to these Muslims…
would only through gasoline…evidence of journalism by automation…and that's throw, not threw…
issue General Order 1A, which forbid all proselytizing by soldiers and contractors in the war zone. …forbade?…and how does that fit this?Military Religious Freedom Foundation…I guess freedom is still not free

It should be disturbing to anyone who cares about the safety of American soldiers. This kind of thing only inflames an already difficult situation and aids our enemies in recruiting. President Bush recognized that. Gen. Tommy Franks recognized it. That's why they tried so hard to prevent the Muslim world from getting the idea that the war was about religion rather than about national security. And these multiple instances I mentioned only undermine that message and pour gasoline on the fire of religious hatred. In the real world, this is a very bad idea.

I am a kosher and Sabbath observing Jew living in America.

Mike Weinstein should shut up and pray for the safety of American soldiers as they kill as many jihadis with these scopes as possible. If he has a problem with New Testament phrases on these scopes, let him start his OWN scope company.

Interfaith would better be called no faith. That's how they manage to be inter-faith. And any time the media sees a “Jesus issue”, they throw a fire bomb into the midst.

Mike Weinstein and the MRFF? They take credit for lighting the match. The inscription on the gunsight they picture reads “JN8:12″. If you weren't into it you would never notice it anyway, or probably figure it out …Unless you were an antagonist looking for trouble as MW apparently is. All the quoted scripture verses in the MRFF missile have the same leaning, the words of Jesus, “I am the light of the world, those who follow me shall not walk in darkness but shall have the light of life.” …Good message. If both the person behind and the person in front of the weapon got the message there would not be a weapon.

Disturbing to whom? The jihadis and their sympathizers? Great!

The real question is so. This company has always had these inscriptions, they never tried to hide it. They make the best scopes. The only people who care are those who are anti-Christian, anti-faith.

The Goal of War is to make the Enemy Bow the Knee and accept terms of Peace. If these scopes make the Enemy upset so be it.
