#1 So how did he get a chance at the job in the first place? I heard on the news that he had studied in Saudi Arabia. Great on one's resume.

#4 It's a similar story in the Navy. There are very few Muslim chaplains in the Navy and they usually will only do the bare minium they're obligated to do, then they get out. One I spoke with said he was getting out because he was used as a showpiece instead of focusing on his duties as chaplain. He was constantly negotiating between tribesmen and U.S. authorities and he felt like he was always pointed out as an example to the tribe leaders of how caring the U.S. government is for Muslims because ,"Look right here, see, we've got a Muslim on our side." Like when the racist white guy denies he's racist ,"I have lots of black friends, um...". Muslim chaplains in American institutions are going to be at odds with the very basics of our structure, especially our military, from the very beginning. As well as they should,(I'm in the middle of the Koran right now and it is no religion that should be allowed equal footing with the traditional). Better to have no chaplains than to have to include the Imams in it.

#5 OK we have had the WTC Memorial hijacked and then they hire this tin-foil hat immam, sn't it time for someone in NYC to get a clue and stop the liberal policies? Begin with dumping Shrillary next year and wrk up from there.
