Servicewoman faces Islamophobic bullying over "Muslim-sounding"
name
Thursday, May 9, 2013
Sgt. 1st Class Nadia Nova (birth-name: Naida Hosan) is not a
Muslim – she's a Catholic. But her name sounded Islamic to fellow U.S. soldiers in Iraq, and they would taunt her, calling her "Sgt. Hussein" and asking what God she prayed to.
When a Muslim soldier, sailor, or airman stands up for themselves, they are often the subject of vicious reprisal and retribution.
What Sgt. Nova has gone through after even being mistakenly identified as a Muslim is horrible,
but all-too-typical
in today's
U.S. Armed Forces.
"VINDICATIONS" OF MRFF LEADERS ARRIVE FAST AFTER PENTAGON MEETING, CHRISTIAN FUNDAMENTALIST HYSTERIA
Sexual assault news follows warnings by 'anti-Christian' military experts
Wednesday, May 8, 2013
Selected Article Excerpts:
- Military sexual assault revelations on Tuesday and Wednesday seemed to vindicate at least part of the message delivered to U.S. military leaders on April 23 by Larry Wilkerson, Mikey Weinstein, and former ambassador Joe Wilson. A hostile publicity campaign continues against the three men, who had warned military leadership that they needed to address the sexual assaults, suicides, lowering entrance standards, misogyny, Islamaphobia, and (pressured) proselytizing that were threatening the discipline and military cohesiveness.
Conservative advocacy groups focused on the group’s mention of proselytizing, repeatedly misstating facts about about the meeting and about military policy. As a result, a percentage of Americans have been persuaded that Christians are being persecuted by the U.S. military. Numerous conservatives have called Mikey Weinstein, head of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, "anti-Christian." They have also accused him of attempting to purge Christians from the military.
- When Larry Wilkerson and the other men met with military leaders on April 23, they had been blunt in assessing the state of military cohesiveness.“The armed forces are on the verge of falling apart,” Wilkerson, who is former chief of staff to Secretary of State Colin Powell, had said to the Washington Post. He warned that sexual assault and proselytizing of subordinates “are absolutely destructive of the bonds that keep soldiers together.”
LIES, DAMN LIES, AND FOX NEWS
Todd Starnes Gets His
Persecuted Christian Story
Facts Wrong - Again!
Thursday, May 9, 2013
Selected Article Excerpt:
In the last couple of years, during his ongoing crusade (or is it jihad) against The Military Religious Freedom Foundation, Jesus' special BFF, Todd Starnes, made several claims about the organization which, according to the legal letters sent to Fox News, were "outright false statements portrayed as fact" and "inflammatory." While we don't know if the inaccuracies, promoted by Starnes, were the result of sloppy research or, as claimed by Mikey Weinstein's attorneys, a deliberate attempt to malign Weinstein and his group, it is apparent that Starnes continues to make factual errors, not all of them involving the MRFF. His most recent "fact," in yet another screed about persecuted Christians, actually differs from that of a local Fox affiliate! The old adage about being entitled on one's opinions but not one's facts comes to mind! But then again, Starnes works for Fox News!
