“Infidel Tattoo” Incident At Lake Wales, FL. Airport Causing National News
The Daily Ridge ^

Posted on 04/05/2013 8:28:09 PM PDT by Fast5

A Broken Soldier and relates a story of he was embarrassed while attempting to skydive at a local business Skydive Lake Wales. I fully expect to be treated differently when I am visiting another country – when I am in America I expect equality and toleration;

Coincidentally there are soldiers from the country of Qatar being trained there.

Here is the definition of said tattoo: “Kafir an Arabic term used in an Islamic doctrinal sense, usually translated as “unbeliever,” “disbeliever,” or “infidel.” The term refers to a person who rejects God or who hides, denies, or covers the “truth.” The Muslim’s from Qatar saw that tattoo and complained to the dropzone. Once they did so I was called to the back office and asked to cover it up by the OWNER. After I told her that I had no pants to cover it up she told me that she has DUCT TAPE that I can use to cover it. I told the lady that I was not going to cover it up, as it was nothing more than a tattoo saying “I am not a Muslim”.

What kind of America do we live in where someone comes back from war; disabled and decorated… while serving overseas was called an “infidel” for over 2 years, and then get asked to leave an establishment because of a tattoo I have that says just that, because of a culture of people visiting our country, and an American Business with no ethical sense or a backbone for that matter.

The DailyRidge.Com contacted Skydive Lake Wales and they did advise that they were approached by some of the members of a skydive training team here from Qatar and advised that the tattoo was offensive to them.

Why the hell is that company training moslems in any activity involving aircraft of jumping out of aircraft?

While the company attacks this guy’s tattoo, sounds like the camel jockeys are doing a dry run for “Hijack aircraft mid-flight, then parachute to safety while the sabotaged aircraft plummets and crashes.”

PS I’m getting a tattoo of bacon.

“Coincidentally there are soldiers from the country of Qatar being trained there.”

Repeat after me. It’s called a TERROR CELL.

What are they training for? Why are they training at our air fields (sounds familiar). Why is this going on? After 9-11, you would think Muslims wouldn’t be allowed to do this sort of thing in our country.

Why are American air fields catering to Muslims and punishing veterans?

These are all questions the media needs to be asking, but of course it will be Americans need to be hyper-sensitive and have empathy for these men from Qatar.

BTW, they are staying at the local Holiday Inn Express in Lake Wales, from what I’ve heard.
And they also have the conference room booked just for them for the entire length of stay so they can do their so-called prayers, from what I’ve heard that is.

If I lived near there, I’d sign up for skydiving lessons and always be munching a bag of bacon bits.

Screw the Religion of Terror (murdering everybody for 1,400 years).

Just because Omoslem is moslem doesn’t mean the rest of us are.

The post came from Mr. Bryant’s blog page Adventures of A Broken Soldier and relates a story of he was embarrassed while attempting to skydive at a local business Skydive Lake Wales

Was this translated from another language?

You can send them an email here

http://www.floridaskydiving.com/

I did -

I wrote:
“You dishonored one of our heroes - a Sky Soldier with a purple heart - because foreigners - who CALL our soldiers “Infidel”, didn’t like it.

Look at this - THIS is why that hero had that little tattoo on his leg - .

http://abcnews.go.com/Nightline/infidel-tim-hetherington/story?id=11636074

RIP, Tim

You owe that Sky Soldier - and all our soldiers - a big apology.

Watch the award winning movie “RESTREPO” - get a clue. And hang your head in shame.”

signed:
a grandmother of one of the Korengal “INFIDELS”.

I got this reply:
“It gives me a heavy heart to ever think that anyone that knows us would think we would be disrespectful to anyone from any country. This is a neutral place for all walks of the world to come to and enjoy. You may have not heard the complete story.

Yesterday afternoon we had an issue with a tattoo and the Qatar General bought it to our attention and that it was very offensive to him and to the other Qatar’s that were here. So manifest said she would ask Eddie to come talk to me about it. I asked Eddie if he had something to wear to cover it up while he was here and he said he did not, I said maybe a piece of tape or a little duct would work. Then he proceeded to say well maybe I will go over to Tampa Bay or somewhere to jump and I said then that was your choice to leave. He left my office and nothing else was said until we start getting slanderous phone calls and the facebook and social media began. He was never asked to leave. He volunteered to leave on his own. Betty”
*************
(I bet Betty has sent that email out several times -

My rebuttal to her clueless defenses I sent back to her:

“the point is not whether he was asked to leave or left voluntarily - after being insulted to please foreigners - especially from Qatar.

You insulted him - big time.

He wasn’t in Qatar - he was in the USA - the country he fought for, was injured for, defending our rights - like FREE SPEECH.

That should have been explained to the ‘offended ones.’

But of course, it’s really about money.

Sometimes, it shouldn’t be.

You failed the test. Money over patriotism.

So take your medicine”

Drop ‘betty’ a line - Stand up for our soldiers and OUR COUNTRY>
