Mikey Weinstein, founder of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation and author of the book “God on our Side” spoke at the Rochester Institute of Technology on October 17th. He emphasized that the greatest threat to our national security was the Dominionist Fundamentalist Evangelical Christian take over of our military. Mr. Weinstein also spoke about the proselytizing that goes on within the military, not just amongst the US military personnel, but also in the countries that the US now occupies. Mr. Weinstein stated and that American Fundamentalists Christians had been embedded with the US solders and that they had distributed over 1.8 million of their bibles while in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Re: Mikey Weinstein on Religious Freedom and the Military
The Fort Hood incident demonstrates the bizarre lengths our military will go to, even at insane risk to many lives, to grant Moslems freedom of religion.

Re: Mikey Weinstein on Religious Freedom and the Military
Perhaps Mr. Weinstein would like to see a government restriction against "proselytizing". Oh, wait, proselytizing means discussing and persuading, so that is protected by the First Amendment. Well, maybe that could be suspended for people Mr. Weinstein doesn't agree with! Problem solved.
