Muslim groups reacted angrily after it emerged that the US military in Iraq and Afghanistan were using rifle sights inscribed with coded Biblical references.
The company producing the sights, which are also used to train Afghan and Iraqi soldiers under contracts with the US Army and the Marine Corps, said it has inscribed references to the New Testament on the metal casings for over two decades.
The British Ministry of Defense meanwhile announced it had placed an order for 400 of the gunsights with Trijicon but added it had not been aware of the significance of the inscriptions, in a decision criticized by the opposition Liberal Democrat party.
The Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) called on US Defense Secretary Robert Gates to immediately withdraw from combat use equipment found to have inscriptions of Biblical references after it emerged that Trijicon has contracts to supply over 800,000 of the sights to the US military.
The Pentagon sought to defuse the brewing controversy, saying it was "disturbed" by the reports.

Shaddap - or we’ll start dipping our rounds in pig fat.
Boo hoo hoo. Cry me a river.
so go buy muzzie scopes. Just don’t issue them to those covering your back, Omar.
To bad......!!!!!
Unreal!
Please, please, don’t tell them about the pork fat bullet lube!
You can bet - with a Muzzie in the White House (closet or otherwise) - the contract will be killed. The safety and security of our fighting men and women, as well as the effectiveness of a product don’t mean crap to those who HATE America and her CHRISTIAN foundation.
Snore.
Next they’ll want the Koran quotes off the toilet paper.
Since when don’t muslims display anger?
“Muslims” and “anger” are synonymous.
It was an honest mistake. The engraved bullets for the US Army “Jesus loves you” is also an honest mistake.(sarc/)
I thought Muslims revered Jesus as a prophet.
Screw them.
They should be happy that we don’t bury them wrapped in pig hide facing away from Mecca with a body part cut off.
I’m on a domestic flight the first day when nearly all of our air marshals will be on foreign flights, per 0bama’s order and announcement to our enemies.
I’m carrying on a 3 oz bag of real bacon bits.
In the event of, uh, trouble several of my closest seat-mates and I will be spitting partially chewed up bacon into the faces of troublemakers.
Go to Hell, Achmed.
The Koran says Jesus will "return to destroy the Cross" and "denounce the Gospel"
Muck Fuslims
And we'll have to stop buying NATO-spec ammo from Singapore (mostly moslem), and IMI (Israeli Military Industries), mostly Jewish.
Oh, and take pork products off the cafeteria menu.
So what are they complaining about?
