West Point cadets take tour of Jersey City to learn about diverse cultures
The Jersey Journal ^ | April 23, 2016

Cadets from the United States Military Academy at West Point learned about different faiths earlier this month by touring Jersey City's diverse cultural groups.

The cadets spent time with Coptic, Jewish and Muslim groups, among others, during a three-day tour of the city for their class, "€œWinning the Peace," which has annually brought cadets to Jersey City for over a decade.

During their April 15 visit to the Muslim Federation of New Jersey at 530 Montgomery St., cadets asked questions about Islam, ate traditional Pakistani dishes and attended a prayer session with the local Muslim community.

“I think they used to refer to it as “slumming”!”

In my day we called it “Going to Chinatown for Chinese food” or “Going to the North End for lasagna”

Simple.

Damn! I hope this next GOP POTUS cleans house on all of the PC weenies in Defense that have been doing their best to weaken our military forces by following Obama’s orders to do so just to save their jobs.

Actually the child was nine when Old Mo raped her. Her name was Aisha.

Mohammad also hit her when she left the house without his permission:

Hadith Muslim, book 4:2127

Muhammad b. Qais said (to the people): Should I not narrate to you (a hadith of the Holy Prophet) on my authority and on the authority of my mother? We thought that he meant the mother who had given him birth. He (Muhammad b. Qais) then reported that it was 'A'isha who had narrated this: Should I not narrate to you about myself and about the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him)? We said: Yes. She said: When it was my turn for Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) to spend the night with me, he turned his side, put on his mantle and took off his shoes and placed them near his feet, and spread the corner of his shawl on his bed and then lay down till he thought that I had gone to sleep. He took hold of his mantle slowly and put on the shoes slowly, and opened the door and went out and then closed it lightly. I covered my head, put on my veil and tightened my waist wrapper, and then went out following his steps till he reached Baqi'. He stood there and he stood for a long time. He then lifted his hands three times, and then returned and I also returned. He hastened his steps and I also hastened my steps. He ran and I too ran. He came (to the house) and I also came (to the house). I, however, preceded him and I entered (the house), and as I lay down in the bed, he (the Holy Prophet) entered the (house), and said: Why is it, O 'A'isha, that you are out of breath? I said: There is nothing. He said: Tell me or the Subtle and the Aware would inform me. I said: Messenger of Allah, may my father and mother be ransom for you, and then I told him (the whole story). He said: Was it the darkness (of your shadow) that I saw in front of me? I said: Yes. He struck me on the chest which caused me pain, and then said: Did you think that Allah and His Apostle would deal unjustly with you? She said: Whatsoever the people conceal, Allah will know it. He said: Gabriel came to me when you saw me. He called me and he concealed it from you. I responded to his call, but I too concealed it from you (for he did not come to you), as you were not fully dressed. I thought that you had gone to sleep, and I did not like to awaken you, fearing that you may be frightened. He (Gabriel) said: Your Lord has commanded you to go to the inhabitants of Baqi' (to those lying in the graves) and beg pardon for them. I said: Messenger of Allah, how should I pray for them (How should I beg forgiveness for them)? He said: Say, Peace be upon the inhabitants of this city (graveyard) from among the Believers and the Muslims, and may Allah have mercy on those who have gone ahead of us, and those who come later on, and we shall, God willing, join you.

Zero objections from me regarding Sikh soldiers in the U.S. armed forces. They know Islam, and oppose it. They also fight with honor and ferocity.

Sorry, you give an exception to Sikhs for beards and turbans, you have no more boundary to ANY uniform alteration, for moslems or any other group.

That may be, if one feels constrained by artificial standards of “fairness” with regards to Islam in the military (or anyplace else).
