Female Soldiers Asked To Wear Hijabs

Tuesday, April 5, 2011




A report came out recently detailing how American female soldiers have been asked to wear hijabs when out patrolling in Afghanistan. Many are disappointed in the request, but frankly, if we aren't at war and are on a peace keeping mission - and it doesn't compromise safety or compromise our morels - we should make an attempt to abide by their customs.

Gravatar.com hi. Allan, I submited a post on this topic [agreeing with you], but it was rejected on the grounds that the web master [I guess it was him] believes I might be spamming you. I'm not. What happened? Please check .This is definately an error.

Gravatar.com You are wrong this is not a missonary situation. We are dying and being shot at all the time. This is a disgrace of the American Uniform Code. We burned
our soliders bibles that took to Iraq and I guess this was to make them like us. No wonder we are so much trouble. We only show a weakness and this is why they will kill more of us. You have crossed over. Sorry for your loss as
someone I respected.

Gravatar.com Our soldiers should only wear the standard United States Uniform. I am tired of our country bending over backwards to apease these people. We are over there to fight a war and help them become independent not to look like them. I'm am sick and tired of all of the political correctness. We are Americans and citizens of the United States of America. If they want out help, then they accept us the way we are, United States Soldiers. We are not missionaries trying to make them happy by looking like them. When is this all going to end. We as Americans are losing our identy. Our President even said "We are not a Christian nation". Evidently he doesn't know much about American history. This is not and will not ever be a Muslim country so NO we should not ask our women soldiers to dress like a Muslim woman.

Gravatar.com They didn't ask for our help. And help against who ?The Taliban? The Taliban ARE the people of Afghanistan .So we're fighting the people of Afghanistan which makes us the agressors. We're there kiling them in retaliation for 9-11.If they're killing us it's because we're there killing them. Alquada was blowback for our support of dictators for our own self-interest.. Alquada should have been dealt with as criminals.If we're not imperiaiists,trying to impose our values and beliefs then we should respect the people we say we're there to "liberate". Otherwise we ARE imperrialsts and they are indeed justified in fighting back.[Actually they're justified in fighting back when we invade them for whatever our stated reason].All imperialists agressors claim morally superioty to justify their invasions.We reserve for ourselves the right to torture and kill people. People who are "sick and tired' of the "political correctness"are indeed imperialists and the biggest threat to world peace.on the planet. And it's dishonest to claim you want top be there to "liberate' them but don't respect their culture or religion. It's that "ugly Americans" mentality that created this Alquada and the blowback of "terrorism".
