It sure is. WHAT are they thinking? So does the Air Force Academy in Colorado get to build a big ol' church on their grounds now? And while we're at it, sheepdips at Quantico, if you're going to be so pathetically PC, I want a synagogue built right next to that mosque.

The Academy has a beautiful chapel, and there are a few Synagogues at large installations. The Naval Academy has one. I wouldn't be concerned about the Mosque, though a headcount of 24 is rather small, rather the fact that it's wahabbi based. It will be interesting to see if prostylization, a no no for Christians, is overlooked. I'd listen to the Navy Chaplain.

"I have great concern about this young Muslim chaplain," said Lt. Comm. Gary P. Stewart, also a Navy chaplain. "I don't trust him."

I think I recall some controversy surrounting Lt. Saifulislam in the past. If it’s more than simply his relationship with the Marine deserter, I’ll post it.

I've read about the Muslim chaplain too, and none of it was good. In fact, it was so bad I wondered if he was being monitored as a way to find out who he was working with.

This is an article about how Muslim chaplains in the US military are under investigation for referring their spiritual charges to radical clerics.

This Muslim chaplain has said he would not tell superiors if a detainee had a weapon!

On January 31, 2002, the Miami Herald printed an article (link requires payment of fee) by Carol Rosenberg that starts with the sentence, “You’re the first-ever American Muslim cleric to minister to a prison camp full of suspected terrorists and one confides he has a weapon. Do you keep the secret? Or do you breach religious confidentiality?”

According to Ms. Rosenberg, the Muslim Chaplain, US Navy Lt. Abuhena Mohammad Saiful-Islam would look “for a third way to resolve the clear conflict of interest between the crescent moon pin stuck in your left lapel and the lieutenant’s bars on the right side of your uniform.”

Lt. Saiful-Islam would look “for a third way”? A commissioned officer in the service of the United States Navy, upon discovering the presence of an illegal weapon among suspected terrorists would look “for a third way”? Lt. Saiful-Islam responded: “I will say, ‘give it to me,’ – and not tell the general who had it,.” A commissioned officer would deliberately hide the fact that a terrorism suspect was holding an illegal weapon in a prison?
