Washington: In a strange revelation, a US website has repored that non-Muslim United States soldiers, who are stationed in the Muslim world, are being subjected to what some might call indoctrination.
A report in the freedompress.com said that cultural advisers have spent the weeks conducting briefings on Ramzan to educate Americans about the holy month. Ali Hassan briefed about 150 personnel on Tuesday about Islam, the lunar calendar and customs and traditions during Ramzan, the website reported. This can be interpreted as “proselytising” to non Muslims, it said.
American service men and women are expected to not do anything that may potentially rock the boat. They can’t smoke or drink alcohol, drink coffee, or eat during regular daylight hours off base.
The website then launched itself into an attack on the polices of US President Barack Obama. “Obama’s policy on Islamic relations has always been to just give in. It’s easy for him at least, a cultural Muslim. He wants everyone to respect the religion of the people that trying to kill them (sic). How absurd is this? Obama’s administration has also banned soldiers from having Bibles in their hospital rooms.”
