Barack Obama's administration has just released a statement stating that any American soldier who openly professes his Christianity can now be subject of a court-martial and may even face imprisonment and a dishonorable discharge. That apparently also applies to military chaplains in in the military.
That statement was released to Fox News on the 6th of May:
Religious proselytization is not permitted within the Department of Defense... Court martials and non-judicial punishments are decided on a case-by-case basis.
Clearly, all this either stands or falls or what exactly is meant by "proselytization." The Obama government realizes this. There has been specific talk about proselytization in terms of "coercion and the abuses of power to force religion on others". Nevertheless, I doubt that this is really about literal coercion or abuses of power because American Muslims, both inside the army and activists on the outside, have been agitating for this policy.
In other words, any talk of Christianity, any wearing of crucifixes in public, or even the holding of a Bible, will have been -- and has been -- deemed "coercion and an abuse of power" by Muslims both within the Army and outside. In fact, Muslims in Muslim/Islamic countries believe that any outward showing of Christianity, from the wearing of crucifixes to the very existence of churches, constitutes the "abuse" of Islam (or Muslims).
It is no doubt the case, then, that absurd and grotesque phrases like "spiritual rape", which have been used in this case, come directly from Muslims both inside the army and from their activist helpers on the outside.
In the UK, Muslims have also complained about crucifix wearing, Bibles, etc....

F no!
Period.
How many years will it take to undo Obama’s damage to America?
Anybody catch the invocation at Darlington Raceway this past weekend? Done by a military guy in camouflage BDUs. He started it off by saying that those of you who don’t pray please remain silent and take a minute of reflection. He then invited “those who do pray” to bow their heads and join him in prayer. It looks like the fags at the Pentagon have the soldiers scared to death. I know that public pressure has caused the fags to back off and deny this but they’ve got the soldiers in ACLU mode of “why take a chance”. Just forget the whole thing whether it’s legal or not. You might do something wrong and the ACLU will sue you. Pretty disgusting.
What makes you think “presidents” Hillary Clinton, Michelle Obama and Rahm Emanuel will undo it?
It’s the perverted sense of payback for the progs. Now the Christians can serve under the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” condition. I suspect it will get worse.
That is not funny!
depends how long we allow him to remain in power.
you mean they are copresidents right all three in the oval office at the same time well i think they will be so busy arguing over who left the toilet seat up no one will ever notice they are there
A month of hangings, deportations and feeding the sharks a mile offshore.
