"They want to co-exist until they can control, dominate and then, if need be, destroy."
We, because of political correctness, continue to shoot ourselves in the foot.
"We live in a world where everyone is looking at the United States saying, 'You're anti-Islam,'" explained West Point Chaplain Col. John Cook. "But here at West Point, that's not what we do."
And to think, these are to be our future leaders.
Check that. He's a dangerous fool.

I wonder how many US Marines would have been permitted to worship at Shinto shrines in 1943.
My guess is none.

WTF?!
You assume that we are at war with Islam as a whole. No. We are at war with a heck of a lot of them, but not all of Islam. I don't believe in Islam, and I definitely don't like extreme Islam, but I also don't think this is a war between religions. We are the good guys; we have restrictions the other side does not. However, we will win in the end because we are the good guys and we have not justified the means by the ends.
The outcry from bleeding heart liberals would have the good Chaplain's head on a platter!
With all due respect to the politically correct liberals, Barney Frank them. I want what's best for the military because I want to win this war.
I assume it because it's true.
I don't believe in Islam
What you believe or don't believe in is irrelevant. They believe in it and they believe in it to the point they'll kill you for not believing in it.
but I also don't think this is a war between religions
It's a war between civilizations. islam isn't a religion. It's a political ideology dressed up as one. Big difference.
However, we will win in the end because we are the good guys and we have not justified the means by the ends.
That's dangerous thinking and it'll get thousands of people killed.

"everyone is looking at the United States saying, 'You're anti-Islam"
What's wrong with that?
We're also anti murder, anti pornography, anti cocaine (well a lot of us are). In WWII we didn't build Nazi parade grounds and reviewing stands for dictators, or Shinto shrines for Japanese prisoners.
What's wrong with America? It sounds like termites are already so far into our woodwork as to be running our house their way.
The Sperry article on this was posted 6 months ago just after the promotion took place.

I know "Saif," as we call him. Despite his background, he is well liked among the chaplain corps and Navy in general.
So, this makes him a good little Nazi?
Even spiders know how to lure prey into the web.
Semper Fi
Prior to Clinton there was no endorsing agent for muslims. These fifth columnists lobbied him to start the program.
Part of my research included face time with Chaplains here and overseas. Asking about muslim Chaplains pushes their buttons big time.
Hooo-ah akbar.
"You assume that we are at war with Islam as a whole."
We are. All Muslims? No. Islam, yes.

Bethelgrad, After reading your "about" information and your post, I will defer my opinion on this issue until someone can establish that this man will be harmful to our country.
Thank you for your service Marine and have a Merry Christmas.
