A little misleading....they should state right off the bat that this applies to US personnel IN AN Islamic country.
That changes the context quite a bit from what is in the title of the article.
Agreed. You’re in another country, you are subject to their laws - even if you do think they are utterly bizarre. Frankly I’m surprised these kinds of guidelines and restrictions were not already in force.
You claiming that churches on “Islamic” soil are also forced to go against their beliefs?
There you go, ruining a number of rants!
I agree. When you are off base in a foreign country, there are some things that are dictated by simple security. In Bahrain you don’t stare at the ladies all in black. It angers the natives. That’s just the way it is.
And it sounds like it’s for the protection of our service men and women from these whackos who think it’s awful to eat in public.
It’s more than a little misleading. U.S. forces are not required by our government to do anything other than dress more conservatively.
It’s the policies of Islamic businesses and restaurants and foreign governments that will probably make Americans adapt when off-base.
Yellow journalism.
I caught that too. Pretty inflammatory headline. The muslime don’t need any help pissing people off.
Meanwhile, solders over here have to take part in gay pride events.
they shouldn’t force this on-base. not when they kick christianity out. seems only christians are punished and forced to adhere to another religion, and that’s’just totally fine with everyone.
