Muslims Angry Over Jesus Rifles

Wow! Who would have thunk it?

I wrote a blog earlier this week, outlining the controversy of the revealed Jesus codes supposedly encrypted on American military rifles by the sighting company that provides special sights and optics to our military.

I knew then as well as many other Americans recognized, that this story would become the tempest that would quickly swell and outgrow it's teapot. And apparently it has.

Muslims Angry Over U.S. Military 'Jesus' Rifles

Muslim groups reacted angrily Wednesday after it emerged that the U.S. military is using combat rifle sights inscribed with coded Biblical references.

Army officials have said they will investigate whether a Michigan defense contractor violated federal procurement rules by stamping references to Bible verses on the gun sights used by American forces to kill enemy fighters in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations on Wednesday said the continued use of the sights with the religious references would send a negative message to the Muslim world.

"The use of military equipment with hidden Bible references sends the false message to Muslims worldwide that we are at war with Islam," said CAIR Legal Counsel Nadhira Al-Khalili. "In addition, these sights are a potential recruiting tool for anti-American forces, endanger our troops and alienate our Muslim allies. They should we withdrawn as soon as logistically possible."

The Marine Corps, another major customer of the telescoping sights that allow troops to pinpoint targets day or night, says service acquisition officials plan to meet with Trijicon to discuss future purchases of the company's gear.

We certainly wouldn't want to send any negative messages to the Muslim world now would we. I mean the religion of peace? Might just up and launch a movement of peace and love against us. They might go from strapping on homicide vests and planting roadside IED's and looking for planes to crash into our buildings, to singing cumbaya and tossing love beads while they recite their holy Quran and attempt to win us over with their love.

But somehow? I don't think so.

I think, that our Muslim friends in the middle east will do what they always do. They will continue to attack and murder any and all who don't subscribe to their seventh century beliefs and they will do it all the while shouting "Allahu Akbar!"

So I see it as only fair and reasonable that our warriors remain equipped with weapons that bear the scriptures of our faith. And as a second thought? I hope that many of our soldiers are inscribing their bullets with bible verses and injecting these infidels directly with the love of our God.
