This is an article about how Muslim chaplains in the US military are under investigation for referring their spiritual charges to radical clerics.

This Muslim chaplain has said he would not tell superiors if a detainee had a weapon!

On January 31, 2002, the Miami Herald printed an article (link requires payment of fee) by Carol Rosenberg that starts with the sentence, “You’re the first-ever American Muslim cleric to minister to a prison camp full of suspected terrorists and one confides he has a weapon. Do you keep the secret? Or do you breach religious confidentiality?”

According to Ms. Rosenberg, the Muslim Chaplain, US Navy Lt. Abuhena Mohammad Saiful-Islam would look “for a third way to resolve the clear conflict of interest between the crescent moon pin stuck in your left lapel and the lieutenant’s bars on the right side of your uniform.”

Lt. Saiful-Islam would look “for a third way”? A commissioned officer in the service of the United States Navy, upon discovering the presence of an illegal weapon among suspected terrorists would look “for a third way”? Lt. Saiful-Islam responded: “I will say, ‘give it to me,’ – and not tell the general who had it,.” A commissioned officer would deliberately hide the fact that a terrorism suspect was holding an illegal weapon in a prison?

A Muslim chaplain, not chaplains, his not their.
