Pentagon: Religious Proselytizing is Not Permitted
Religious liberty groups have grave concerns after they
learned the Pentagon is vetting its guide on religious tolerance with a group
that compared Christian evangelism to “rape” and advocated that military
personnel who proselytize should be court martialed.
The Military Religious Freedom Foundation is calling on the
Air Force to enforce a regulation that they believe calls for the court martial
of any service member caught proselytizing.
President Mikey Weinstein and others from his organization met privately with Pentagon officials on April 23.
He said U.S.
troops who proselytize are guilty of sedition and treason and should be
punished – by the hundreds if necessary – to stave off what he called a “tidal
wave of fundamentalists.”
“Someone needs to be punished for this,” Weinstein told Fox
News. “Until the Air Force or Army or Navy or Marine Corps punishes a member of
the military for unconstitutional religious proselytizing and oppression, we
will never have the ability to stop this horrible, horrendous, dehumanizing
behavior.”
