They shot at me in Iraq. I shot back, and apparently a little straighter, I came back (well most of me anyway).
I fail to see how an organization that backs a sect that is trying to destroy this country can have any privileges of determining what the military does. The military doesn’t fall under civil law in this matter and can just completely ignore them. And Congress has only the authority over financial and budgetary matters, through the enumerated power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises, to pay the debts and provide for the common defense and general welfare of the United States. Provide for, not command.
The people have been trained to believe that congress has this all-encompassing power over the US. It only takes what it is given, or threatens to intentionally falter. This is one of those cases.

Since the year 641, when Muslims invaded Egypt, the Copts-Egypt’s Christian, indigenous inhabitants-have been subject to persecution, discrimination, and over all subjugation on their homeland (etymologically, the word “Copt” simply means “Egyptian”).
The result is an Egyptian culture and mentality that sees Copts as second-class citizens, or, in Islamic legal terminology, Dhimmis-”infidels” who are tolerated as long as they embrace their inferior status.
The idea of subjugating non-Muslims, aptly coined “Dhimmitude,” comes from Quran 9:29 .. they pay the Jizya [tribute] with submission, and utterly subdued.
