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.
Hed like to think his transition will be as smooth as those of his Christian peers, but he knows that not everyone will welcome him as warmly as the senior officers who gave him a standing ovation when the news was announced at a meeting on base.
Shabazzs switch in faiths didnt exactly go smoothly with the military, either. He had to write memos for even the smallest religious accommodation, such as time to perform the traditional Friday prayers. Hed fast during the holy month of Ramadan, though his schedule called for grueling work in the field. Ravenous by the end of the day, hed come to the mess hall only to find pork chops. Hed raise concerns with his superiors from time to time, but made little ground.
Shabazz said. I have a real opportunity to be an ambassador for the Army and for my religion.

This is a FAR CRY from the Chaplain who shouted “Praise the Lord and pass the Ammunition” at Pearl Harbor.
Christian Soldiers are supposed to go to this Muslim for Spiritual Guidance and then go out and kill Muslim Jihadists??? Somebody has gone PSYCHO!!
Conservatives will never be able to reconcile the First Amendment with defending America from Islam.
Keep on clucking, Cucks!
I just learned how to post pictures, so there may be hope I’ll get there someday.
If this Muslim has to know Christianity in order to minister to Christians
then can God (of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob) use this to His Glory?

Not long after Hasan transferred to the base earlier this year, he sat down with Muslim chaplain Maj. Khalid Shabazz to discuss carrying out Shabazzs vision at the Fort Hood chapel when Shabazz was away.
I found him to be very pleasant, Shabazz said of Hasan.
Shabazz, who recently left the base, met privately with Hasan several times.
Before his posting at Fort Hood, Shabazz ministered to Muslim inmates at the military detention camp at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, where he was known as a sympathizer among military police. Shabazz scolded MPs for making noise while al-Qaida detainees were praying.
He’s in charge of chaplain services for a division. He’s not a combat unit commander. He can’t tell them what to worship, he can’t suppress them, he will be required to giving each religion equal funding and opportunity, he will be expected to provide as much variety of worship and religious freedom as possible. It don’t mean anything.

Thanks, my bad. I thought you were referring to his current assignment.
Unreal
Shabazz counseled Hasan. Scroll down, Shabazz talks about what a likeable fellow he thought Maj. Hasan was.

Many a parade I stood listening to those words I would come to despise: "...something that has never been done before...".
In most cases I would have pointed out that "no one has ever done that before" because even the greenest, most addled 2LT could see it was a hair brained idea from the start and would probably cost tons of money and worse, soldier's lives. But, Generals have to make that next star somehow so...
I liked to say that the first person who ever taught a monkey to fuck a football thought it was a great thing, too.
ARMY heh heh
And he [Jesus] declared, that the enjoyment of felicity in the world hereafter, would be reward of the practice of benevolence here. His whole law was resolvable into the precept of love; peace on earth good will toward man, was the early object of his mission; and the authoritative demonstration of the immortality of man, was that, which constituted the more than earthly tribute of glory to God in the highest
The first conquest of the religion of Jesus, was over the unsocial passions of his disciples. It elevated the standard of the human character in the scale of existence
On the Christian system of morals, man is an immortal spirit, confined for a short space of time, in an earthly tabernacle. Kindness to his fellow mortals embraces the whole compass of his duties upon earth, and the whole promise of happiness to his spirit hereafter. THE ESSENCE OF THIS DOCTRINE IS, TO EXALT THE SPIRITUAL OVER THE BRUTAL PART OF HIS NATURE." The American Annual Register (1830) by Joseph Blunt, Ch. X, in a section entitled "Christianity contrasted with Islamism", p. 269
