In January, Lt. Col. Khallid Shabazz received the call every Army chaplain dreams of, the call that validates years of intense study and hard work toward keeping the U.S. military in good spiritual health.
He was offered the job of chaplain for an entire division, an honor for anyone in his field but a milestone in his case. After a ceremony this summer, Shabazz will become the first Muslim division-level chaplain in the history of the U.S. military – a Muslim spiritual leader for more than 14,000 mostly Christian soldiers.
Shabazz, who’s dedicated his life to working across religious lines, found it hard to keep calm as he received the news at his desk on Joint Base Lewis-McChord near Tacoma, Washington.

It appears Obama appointed him in January. No indication of why he was chosen over others except that he is Muslim.
Sounds like just another Obama attempt at sabotage right before he left.
I remember that chaplain that led the Marines in a Shinto service on Iwo. It was a great moment in diversity celebration.
That surname looks like a Black Muslim’s name...
This Chaplin got skunked in a debate by a Muslim soldier. It says he did not know his own Christian faith well enough and obviously knew nothing of Islam. That seems to be the way with a lot of these conversions.
All that said this makes me very nervous
Since it appears that military chaplains cannot mention the name of Jesus, perhaps this clown cannot mention the name of the piss-ant god, allah?
Sick.
Can he pick up a rifle and shoot Muslim extremists?
If not, he should GTFO.
No umma. No sharia.
Protect and defend the Constitution of the USA.
I sure hope he doesn’t kill any of our soldiers.
If I’m in that division, time for a transfer. Sir.
That’s what I thought too. NOI?
Ah...what’s wrong with this picture?
Christian soldiers should file a discrimination claim because of their faith!
“...perhaps this clown cannot mention the name of the piss-ant god, allah?”
Don’t bet on it.
Plenty ....
Speed bumps ahead.
Um
No
The absurdity of this is highlighted by the fact there are 3500 muslims in the entire armed forces. Why not pick a witch?
Yeah, Shabazz, Shabazz, where have I heard that name b4?
Looks Nation of Islam to me.
he ministered to the terrorists at Gitmo, and our soldiers at Ft Hood, among other places.
