Do not eat or drink in front of Muslims, and learn more about their religion. That’s the directive that has gone out to active duty military personnel at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, a Department of Defense medical and graduate school in Bethesda, Md. The brigade commander sent an email to military personnel at the facility last month – just before the start of Ramadan – advising them to show respect to Muslim colleagues. “This is a period of great personal restraint and commitment in addition to renewed focus on worship,” Brigade Commander Col. Kevin Glasz wrote. “I’d like to encourage you to learn just a little more about this religion, but more importantly, I’m asking you to be considerate and do not consume food or drink in front of our Muslim colleagues; it is a simple, yet respectful action.” During the month-long period known as Ramadan, Muslims refrain from eating or drinking during daylight hours. The brigade commander also provided a link to a website about Islam, and specifically Ramadan. Heres my take on that...this is AMERICA not the middle east if they want treated differently than they need to go home. We dont need to change for them, they need to change for us. Thats the whole problem with immigration and this global movement for mass citizenship, this is America, learn our ways, our customs, our language not the other way around because if we dont stand up for our country before too long the foreigners will make for certain its not America any more. I dont see Christians getting any respect from Muslims in the middle east so why should we do the same here? I say we offer them up a nice lunch of shut the you know the what up with a side order of pork.
