From the Front Line: Sharia Compliance in the US Military

Pamela Geller for American Thinker:

I recently received this shocking letter from a man who has served as a contractor in Afghanistan.  It reveals the appalling extent of sharia compliance in the United States military.

My name is John Craig.  I have been a contractor in Afghanistan for over five years as a mechanical engineer.  Recently I have been dismissed by the command of Bagram Air Field and lost my job.  I am in Kuwait and in route to go home and find another job.

The reason I was expelled from the base is because I had two copies of the Koran.  One was a hardback study book and the other a paperback Koran; it is my interest to study the religion in and of itself and take notes.

Well, what happened was that I wrote notes and highlighted throughout the books and came to the conclusion that the doctrine itself is that of murder, rape, and extortion.  That is my personal view of the religion.

Well, dumb me, I wrote on the paperback Koran in black marker right on the front – RELIGION OF MURDER.  That is what I think of it.  The Command M.P. (military police) did an inspection in our rooms and were searching for General Order 1 violations; it’s normal procedure finding drugs, alcohol, and pornographic material.  Well, in this search, they found my study Korans (under my bed) out of sight and out of view of others, and called me in to investigate why I had marked on the Koran RELIGION OF MURDER.
