for one this is a crusade, us aginst a religion that wages war on us. Who cares what the enemy calls it? as far as this religious freedom group for military, do they have anything to say aginst the prohibition of religious items or displays or talk by our military folks that we impose so as not to provoke the nice muslims that our guys are dieing to defend?

what a bunch of pooey, if folks are sent in harms way, I say let them have all the religion they want, specially if it is offensive to the enemy.

my vote would go for dipping all rounds in pig fat prior to combat, and burial of enemy dead in pig carcusses, but heck that's just me.

It's a private business making a business decision.

The government making a big deal out of this is a waste of time and taxpayer resources, but then that's pretty much government's purpose isn't it?

All I can hope for is a price reduction for the ACOG with a surplus of non-usable military versions being returned

"It's wrong, it violates the Constitution, it violates a number of federal laws," said Michael "Mikey" Weinstein of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, an advocacy group that seeks to preserve the separation of church and state in the military.

I don't think so. I don't see how a bible reference stops someone from having freedom of religion, any more than having a Book of Mormon on my bookshelf makes me a member of the Latter Day Saints. And I'm for heck sure that the US penal code says nothing whatsoever on whether a manufacturer can print biblical references on the side of a scope.

Having said all that, I'd agree that it was inappropriate, in the same way that when I used to fly Alaska Airways, I didn't want the little religious quotes on my meal trays. I don't push my religious views on people, and I don't really want them pushing theirs on me.

The jihadists I shot, never claimed discrimination.

Nice to see the free market stifle religious freedom.....snicker.....

Given that the lines can be referenced, if I recall correctly, in a context other than Biblical (they almost all deal with light in the dark somehow), and thus relevant to the topic at hand given that these people make sights that produce light in the dark.

Regardless of where the line came from, interpreted in the context of the glow-y weapon sights I'd argue it to a certain extent loses its original meaning, and thus becomes a clever line about light in the dark...that's just me though.

I'm not seeing the issue, and I usually do when it comes to religion in public life...

"It allows the Mujahedeen, the Taliban, al Qaeda and the insurrectionists and jihadists to claim they're being shot by Jesus rifles," he said.

Maybe you just need to see the light?
