Troops told to refrain from eating, drinking in front of Muslims

Do not eat or drink in front of Muslims, and learn more about their religion.

That’s the directive that has gone out to active duty military personnel at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, a Department of Defense medical and graduate school in Bethesda, Md.

The brigade commander sent an email to military personnel at the facility last month – just before the start of Ramadan – advising them to show respect to Muslim colleagues.

“This is a period of great personal restraint and commitment in addition to renewed focus on worship,” Brigade Commander Col. Kevin Glasz wrote. “I’d like to encourage you to learn just a little more about this religion, but more importantly, I’m asking you to be considerate and do not consume food or drink in front of our Muslim colleagues; it is a simple, yet respectful action.”

I guess since we have a moo-slime in the WH the entire US military is supposed to capitulate to the moo-slime faith while, in certain areas of the world, they shoot as us.

Unlawful order!!

BS.

Most muzzies maintain the charade when the sun is out, after that; it's party time.

Like flying El Al to London. You leave Saudi airspace out comes the booze, into the bathrooms go the ladies and when they return you see which ones should have kept their veils on.

I think eating a pork tenderlon sandwich at your desk would be appropriate.

Did a similar memo go out about Catholics during Lent? You know, Ash Wednesday and not eating meat on Friday.

The troops should defecate, expectorate, and micturate in front of — and ON — muslimes, however.

But if you’re a Christian baker you must make a wedding cake for homosexuals.

Is there no one in the entire military that will stand up to Obama? I am so furious over this. I am losing respect for our military day by day.

Western Civilization owes no respect to Islam. For that matter neither does a sewer rat.

There’s a chow hall at Bethesda, and on almost every military base. Are they closing it during the day in “respect” for Muslims? If not, why not?

What if a Muslim walks by and smells food, and sees people going in? What if he follows them in and sees—PEOPLE EATING!

Also, the hospital itself has a main cafeteria, and of course, they bring breakfast and lunch to the in bed patients—during the DAY TIME! WHAT IF A MUSLIMS SEES THAT?!

"The white flags went on the Brooklyn Bridge already."

Western Civilization has it's margins I suppose. Dar Al Harb, or Dar Al Islam.
