US Army: Beard exception for Muslims ok'd, exception for orthodox Jews denied

Jawa Report ^ | January 4, 2011

[La Lydia]

... A rabbi from Brooklyn, N.Y., is suing the Army over its “no-beard” policy, claiming the service violated his religious freedoms when it rejected him because he refuses to shave...lawsuit argues the Army is discriminating against him because it has waived the “no-beard” rule for several Sikhs and a Muslim, but not for him. ...

Some animals are more equal than others.

[Gaffer]

In my day in the service, the excuse was ‘foliculitus’ as a diagnosis to preclude shaving.....

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

It would truely appear that there is no end to this madness....

God, help us.

The noose fits better.

If Muzzie soldiers are going to be allowed beards from now on that is one big, big step towards dhimmitude.

Imam Rauf’s “Sharia Index Project” just pegged out.

Political Correctness:

”A doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical liberal minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.”

By spreading this definition around, perhaps we can employ one of the more effective methods of deflating and defeating the fools who practice and promote it: RIDICULE.

Unless stopped – and soon – PC will DESTROY Western Civilization -- if it hasn’t already.

PASS IT ON!!

THEN PASS THE KOOL AID!!

What does religion have to do with it? If you can’t fulfill the requirements of the job for any reason, don’t volunteer for it. One of the requirements, apparently, is no beard.

[La Lydia]

Sorry this issue of unequal treatment is too confusing for you.

... a small step forward for Islam, a huge step backward for modern mankind.

Western man thought up the achievements, not Islam, but yet islam is belling up to the trough and muscling out the innovators. Doesnt help when the most powerful muslim in the world sits in our White House. How long till he hoists a crescent?

Equality is making EVERYONE in the service shave reguardless of their religious afilliation.

[La Lydia]

That is what I think. And if they don’t want to shave, they have opted not to serve.

[Gasshog]

Let me say this.

Political correctness is Newspeak for Newspeak.

We have Newspeak thanks to the D party.

What’s next the Minsitry of Truth?

Seems to me a lot of good (and some not so good) men have served in military command with beards and did ok.

[Mr. Wright]

Already happening all over America. Nativity scenes are a “no no” on public property, while Muzzies praying on public property is “A-OK”.

[Michael.SF.]

Equality is making EVERYONE in the service shave reguardless of their religious afilliation.

Or

Equality is allowing EVERYONE in the service to not shave regardless of their religious affiliation.

"Seems to me a lot of good (and some not so good) men have served in military command with beards and did ok."

None of those folks ever had to get one of these to seal to their face...

[Ouderkirk]

[Duncan Hunter]

“If Muzzie soldiers are going to be allowed beards from now on that is one big, big step towards dhimmitude.”

Let ‘em. Makes targeting much easier.

I don’t believe any of them were named Mohammed though......
