Not much here. There are no doubt chapels in the Pentagon, but all military chapels are non-denominational. There are no synagogues, churches, or mosques in the military, only chapels. The chapel can be decorated to take on the appearance required of the type of service.

Found several sources that said the Chaplains were quite happy to have this particular chapel since they'd never actually had one in the Pentagon.

Remember, there's a bunch of Navy Dept stuff at the top of the hill, so they may have been using that.

I've been in the public areas over the years and don't recall a Chapel although I recall drugstores, department stores, and restaurants, coffee mess, etc.

So, tell me where "the chapel" was located before 2002.

"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away, for his name is Obama."

Whoever thought this was a good idea needs to be fired.

Actually it goes back a long way to when the govt. mandated that employers can't discriminate against employees' religious observances.. As a result, the religious observances of any employees have to be accommodated even if it means they have to take their shoes off, kneel on a mat and pray in the middle of a board meeting............slight exaggeration but you get my drift.

My company had such an individual who transferred from our closed stamping plant in Phila. to our now closed plant in Detroit. He was an African American convert to Islam who demanded his "prayer" time and we had to accomodate him. We said ok, you pray on your breaks and on your lunch time.

Did I mention that he left a wife and kids back in Phila and the Friend of the Court had to garnishee his wages in order to pay his back child support?????? LOL!

Welcome to Free Republic.

The title you created

“I am absolutely furious. Who permitted a mosque inside the Pentagon?”

did not match the title at the linked source and had to be changed. Also you omitted the date of the article.

Please only use published titles and include the published date.

Below I have posted some links to important information which you'll want to read, bookmark and refer to before posting any published material here.

There is the answer ...no Mosques at Ground Zero but they can pay for a non-denominational chapel if they want

The picture in your post #27 sums up what I think about allowing Muslims in the Pentagon. Why take the risk?

There are Moslem in the military who deserve a chapel as much as military men and women of every other religion.

I agree, but until political correctness is done away with, and Islam is recognized for the murderous cult that it is, I regret to say that we are stuck with them.

IMHO..... ;^)

But the Pentagon was hit on 9/11. It’s a Ground Zero in its own right.

Are you some kind of idiot? It is one thing to die in a crash of a airplane into your workplace. It is quite another to be in top of a burning building doomed, and make final phone calls, and after you are dead 70% of the Islamic world celebrating and passing out candy in the streets.

No comparison, quit trying to find loopholes for your Islamist buddies.

The number of lives lost at WTC? A NON-military site? Non-government site?

Time to rethink your position, Mr. Elliott?

Is it different from the 9/11 Memorial Chapel?
