Military personnel at a government-run health science university in Maryland were reportedly instructed not to eat or drink in front of Muslims during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.
The brigade commander at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in Bethesda sent an email last month to military personnel instructing them to show respect toward their Muslim colleagues during Ramadan fasting, which ended July 28, Fox News reported.
“This is a period of great personal restraint and commitment in addition to renewed focus on worship,” Col. Kevin Glasz reportedly wrote in the email. “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.”
The brigade commander also provided a link to a website about Islam, specifically about Ramadan....

The HELL you say. I’ll eat Bacon, Pork Chops, and Pork Rinds when ever I want!!!
May even make some “Red Eye” Gravy to go with my country Ham...
“Oh, but I have a friend who is a muslim.”
Me too and what we eat is not an issue (and won’t be).
We owe Islam nothing!
this is all about undermining and tearing down American culture.
That statement is what a lot of lefties say. “I have a muslim friend and that makes me so cool. And she’s really nice.”
I hope that after Zer0 gets his judgement day he gets to be a cell mate with Jeffrey Dahmers.
“How long until everyone is required to observe Ramadan?”
Can’t be much longer. We already have Kwanza and June-Teenth forced down our gullet here in Madistan, WI.
*Rolleyes*
The state has established their religion.
I got that! Black, Muslim, Jew, Seventh Day Adventist, Jehova’s Witness, a lib will have one as a friend.
I actually have a Muslim friend and he’s watched me eat haram foods with no comment.
“Military personnel at a government-run health science university in Maryland were reportedly instructed not to eat or drink in front of Muslims during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.”
So much for the left’s obsession with the separation of church and state, eh?
What a bunch of krapola. Why should someone have to wait for lunch or skip a snack because someone else is fasting? I bet you if I asked that Muslims employees be asked to refrain from eating meat on Fridays during the Lenten season, I’d get mandatory “diversity training” !
Stealth Jihad is what our Military leaders are assisting in by ordering this nonsense...but if you figure who some of the leaders are now, as well as those in the Pentagon...well.... No wonder. Muslims never see these as "considerations"...they see every time any "Yields" to their demands that we're yielding to Islam.
......”How long until everyone is required to observe Ramadan?”.....
Might be much sooner then we think at the rate they’re moving here and in other nations.
Not enough bacon.
Fasting during Ramadan isn’t really a fast...they eat in the morning and after sundown so it’s like going without lunch....no big deal.
However to them it’s suppose to mean they’re Cleansing their Mind and Body......obvious it isn’t working!
I’d wipe my rear with a Koran in front of them with no regrets.
You know, if I really let myself go, I could eat that. Minus the bread,.
When I was in the ME twenty plus years ago, our commanders told us the same thing. That was under Bush the first.
