Military personnel at a government-run health science university in Maryland were reportedly instructed not to eat or drink in front of Muslims during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.
The brigade commander at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in Bethesda sent an email last month to military personnel instructing them to show respect toward their Muslim colleagues during Ramadan fasting, which ended July 28, Fox News reported.
This is a period of great personal restraint and commitment in addition to renewed focus on worship, Col. Kevin Glasz reportedly wrote in the email. Id like to encourage you to learn just a little more about this religion, but more importantly, Im 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.
The brigade commander also provided a link to a website about Islam, specifically about Ramadan....

Outrageous!
“Muslims never see these as “considerations”...they see every time any “Yields” to their demands that we’re yielding to Islam. “
That is correct.
I pray when the time comes our military will wake up.
INSANITY!
With a talllll glass of whole milk.
That way you can “trumpet” the sunset that day to celebrate!

While stationed in Saudi Arabia 30 years ago, in the embassy, we were requested not to eat in front of Moslem employees during Ramadan. I had a Tech Sgt working for me, a black guy. He was driving home from work one afternoon, smoking in the car. While stopped for a light on Palestine Road, a Saudi opened his driver’s door and ripped the cigarette out of his mouth, screaming at him in Arabic, thinking he was an African Moslem who was violating Ramadan rules. Of course, the Royal family would never think of violating the rules, especially if alcohol were involved.
That would be a problem there I believe Jeffrey gave his life to the Lord 2 weeks before he was murdered in prison. Who knows, anything is possible. Yet I have no doubt Obama will get his judgement. God waits and sees.
It gets frustrating watching our government make decisions without any understanding of the mindset of cultures here in this country.... They do not think like we do.
In the case of Muslims the Government, and many in this nation, are more than clueless, they’re dangerous for everyone of us.
Hey Col. Kevin.....are you going to tell them not to eat MEAT on Good Friday in front of the CATHOLIC ones????P.Our ONCE FINE Military is becoming an EMBARRASSMENT!!!
Most of them are probably lying.
It reminds me of the racists of the 60s. “I don’t have anything against colored people. I know some of them.” The blacks finally figured it out.
Muslims told not to eat, drink, or shag camels and goats, beat servants and wives, chop off Christians` heads and hands, marry 8 year-old girls, & kill their sisters in front of American troops during the next 20 centuries.
there fixed it
'The present war is only between the King and a part of the Lords and America.
The Lords say all Americans shall become slaves or servants to them, shall plow no more than they say, EAT NOR DRINK, nor war nor hunt but only by their leave shall not kill deer, moose beaver or any other thing but by their consent.
Americans say they will and that the King by the Lords advice has sent redcoats to kill us if we will not be subject to what they say.
And we have thirty thousand men with guns great and small to fight in our defense we only want to live as we have lived here to fore We do not want to fight if they would let us alone."

Nice. Thanks.
“We will never forget!”
yeah, right.
While I don’t agree with it, it does make sense to not intentionally inflame the host nation against you. We had the same order when I was in Iraq. Too tell the truth I don’t see why anyone would eat outside over there as your food would end up covered in either dirt or sand.
The Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences is in Bethesda, Maryland, not Baghdad, Iraq.
