Serving a virulently anti-Christian government does come with these risks.
IF some folks had their way in WW2.. Pinups would have been banned and bombers grounded..
I guess there is an inherent price to be paid by some and not others.. No reason or rhyme to this one..
Maybe a fellow Muslim Marine might have been offended and went jihad.
Btw, I never met a Marine that was an atheist. I guess they do exist, Id certainly prefer them to be in another foxhole when the fit hits the shan.
This is not a religious liberty issue. The Marine in question disobeyed a lawful order. Marines are not allowed to affix ANYTHING to ADPE (automated data processing equipment) in their spaces. Personal items such as photos or stickers of “Hello Kitty” are also disallowed. Her SNCO and OIC have authority over what items are allowed on desk spaces, providing it does not take up the majority of the space. All Marines are expected to maintain a professional environment and not clutter their desks. This Marine disregarded all orders to the contrary.
If all personal touches were banned from that workplace, then she was in the wrong. If others were allowed personal decorations, quotes, pictures, houseplants, etc., and the order was based on the content of her quotes, then the order was not a lawful order. I did not see a clear indication in the article on which was the case.
Should have posted verses from the Qur’an - safer and 0bama would have given her a certificate/medal or something.
Becha Command doesn’t have the stones to tell someone to take down “Aluha Akbar” signs.
(and, NO! I DON”T care about the spelling!)
“At least one other religious liberty advocate thinks the lower court’s findings should be left in place. Mikey Weinstein...” This is the dumbest statement I have seen in a long time and shows the anti Christian bias of the writer. If Weinstein is a religious liberty advocate, then Satan is in rehab.
Hmm, A combative Marine
Best to drum her out of the corps.
But it will be a real resume enhancer if she decides to apply for work at some leftist company!
Another example of leading from your heart instead of your brain....on both sides of the incident!
That said here has to be more to it than what’s stated in the article....takes a lot of pushback from a L.Cpl. to get that kind of reaction from a SNCO.....been there, hammered L.Cpl. of same temperament.
If she was allowed to decorate her monitor, then everyone would have to be allowed to decorate their monitors and that could get out of hand. So do as you’re ordered. It isn’t her equipment to begin with.
