Allah Akbar From the Pentagon….
I really don’t care if anyone calls me an Islamophobe, but this is the worst place to be chanting "Allah Akbar." Jihadis in Iraq and Afghanistan chant the same slogan as they kill our troops on an almost daily basis, cut off people heads, blow themselves up in marketplaces etc….
Navy imam Chaplain Abuhena M. Saifulislam lifted his voice to God as he called to prayer more than 100 Department of Defense employees Monday at a celebration of Ramadan at the Pentagon.
“God is most great,†(also known as, Allah Akbar -ed.) sang the lieutenant commander and Islamic leader, in Arabic, as iftar — the end of the daily fast began.
Uniformed military personnel, civilians and family members faced Mecca and knelt on adorned prayer rugs chanting their prayers in quiet invocation to Allah.
“We do all we can to help meet the religious needs of our soldiers,†said Deputy Pentagon Chaplain Army Maj. Alan Pomaville, a Christian, who attended the iftar alongside the Muslim chaplains. “The leadership in the [Defense Department] wants to care for the body of the whole soldier.â€
As the Pentagon celebrated Ramadan, the White House is in preparations for an iftar feast tomorrow, said Lt. Cmdr. Saifulislam, who will be participating at the White House events.

And to think the left screamed bloody murder (no pun intended) when former Attorney General Ashcroft held Bible studies with his employees before work hours. They won’t be screaming bloody murder (again, no pun) about this, though.
This story offends me in so many ways I don’t know where to begin. The Pentagon allows
members of Islam to pray, but we are not allowed to pray at our schools, football games,
or public meetings? We must remove the Ten Commandments?
Why don’t we just delare an islamic state and get it over with.
