Air Force Officer Faces Review Over Bible
Townhall.com ^ | August 17, 2016 | Todd Starnes

The Military Religious Freedom Foundation is demanding an Air Force major be “aggressively punished” for having an open Bible on his desk at Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs, Colo.

“It [the Bible] is very obviously a statement of Christian preference, Christian primacy,” MRFF founder Mikey Weinstein told me. “Had that been the Book of Satan or the Koran there would be blood in the freaking streets.”

He accused Maj. Steve Lewis, a supervisor at the Reserve National Security Space Institute, of “harboring and encouraging a truly abhorrent example of First Amendment civil rights violations.”

Mr. Weinstein is a fussy little fellow, isn’t he?

Col. Damon Feltman, the commander of the 310th Space Wing, told me they are reviewing the incident involving the Good Book.

What if it was a Koran instead of a Bible—we would not even be having this discussion.

Mikey Weinstein is an abhorrent little man who wields entirely too much influence over the Air Force as an outsider.

The idea is to force one branch into submission, and then the others have to follow precedent. He has been at this game for years.

The fact that one of the airmen snuck up and took a picture of the Bible on the desk, to use as evidence against the officer is all I need to know.

This is an open attack on Christians. If it had been a Koran or a Book of Satan, nobody would have cared, nor would they have complained.

The same lawyer bringing this case would have defended them by claiming that Christians were trying to rid the workplace of opposing views, and he would have been waving the First amendment all over the place.

Never be fooled by the groups name. The Military Religious Freedom Foundation. They have nothing to do with religious freedom. They are filled with hatred for anyone in the military that tries to lead a Christian life.

Outrageous that these charges should be brought.

Welcome to the club. I never thought that I would be alive when a majority of those that voted demanded, via their votes, that a muslim have the rule over them [and us]. But it is here and so am I. I don’t like it and I don’t like them.

Many things I see today never thought I would see. I remember the first time I heard NWO. Creeping Sharia too.

“I am intimidated by the display, and I am a practicing Christian,” the unnamed airman wrote. “This open Bible is discrimination at the highest level.”

The airman went on to say that he wasn’t just offended by the Bible – he was “outrageously offended.”

Suuuuure - he must be one of them "Christians" that praises allah if he's intimidated and outrageously offended by the primary Christian text.....they need to get rid of this twerp as he isn't fit to wear the uniform.

Not sure the race of the man with the bible. This is a way they force white makes out to bring in 3rd worlders for their dictatorship. Satan’s followers are doomed.
