Would you be equally happy if he'd been a Muslim quoting from the Quran and calling for the death of infidels while wearing his uniform?

I think people are being a little short sighted in this case and jumping to unwarranted assumptions about the intent of the UN Navy.

[jess35]

OUCH! Make that US Navy.

I'll let you take up for the Muslims. I am a Christian.

No. I'd throw his rear end in the brig. The Constitution says nothing about the right to proselytize for a gangster death cult.

Next question.

Your comment is based on the false moral equivalence of all religions. That's a key difference between Islam and Christianity. When have you heard Christian ministers calling "death to infidals"?

[Issaquahking]

"I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God." (Title 10, US Code; Act of 5 May 1960 replacing the wording first adopted in 1789, with amendment effective 5 October 1962).

"I, _____ (SSAN), having been appointed an officer in the Army of the United States, as indicated above in the grade of _____ do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign or domestic, that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservations or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office upon which I am about to enter; So help me God." (DA Form 71, 1 August 1959, for officers.)

The above is the oath of an offier to serve the United States, not your un navy. perhaps the quran may work for you in your new world order. For Me, this nation is a Judeo-Christian from the start.

Till I can hear the volume of muslims overcoming the chirping of crickets, in regard to showing they are of action, rather than noise in regard to the way their religion is of peace, I'll buy into something more like this.

I absolutely see the equivalence between the two scenarios...
