can it get any sillier? US Marines told not to piss in the direction of mecca. AAAaagggghhhhhh

People, honest.  I’m not certain if I wanna laugh or cry. Maybe both?  Or laugh till tears fall.

Now I should be honest about this and admit I haven’t checked it out fully.  OK, really not at all. But since she’s quoting a Marine media source ,, ?

Look, the world is so damn crazy now, even crazier then past generations thought about themselves. It’s so nuts that now I tend toward believing the unbelievable
cos the unbelievable is now the believable. 
Don’t believe that?  Fine.  Then read this.

Latrine directive another step on path to Islamification

By DIANA WEST
The Register-Mail

HAVING WRITTEN COUNTLESS COLUMNS AND BLOG POSTS arguing that the see-no-Islam counterinsurgency strategy (COIN) has led to failure in two wars in the umma (Muslim world) and the dhimmification of the U.S. military, it’s almost funny to see the debate more or less officially joined over my recent column on what appears to be simply the gross-out, PG-13 movie topic of peeing toward Mecca. Or, rather, not peeing toward Mecca.

The latter is the lesson that an Afghan Muslim contractor has been teaching Marines before they deploy to Afghanistan, in accordance with an Islamic canonical hadith called “The Prohibition of Facing the Qiblah When Relieving Oneself.” But maybe the debate had to take this excretory turn with the Pentagon awash in the phony fundamentals of Greg Mortenson’s discredited “Three Cups of Tea.”

Scatological or not, what we are talking about here is an untenable invasion of privacy of American citizens in uniform via religious dictate as taught by the U.S. Marine Corps.

The Nov. 28 print edition of Marine Corps Times carries both an article and a lead editorial on what the paper is politely calling “excretory etiquette” regarding Marines and Mecca—which, incidentally, is about 2,000 miles from Afghanistan. But this isn’t just about etiquette. Given its Islamic religious derivation, the Marines’ excretory instruction strikes me as a violation of religious freedom. Who is the U.S. Marine Corps to instruct American citizens to bring their personal hygiene practices into accord with Islamic law? The Corps in this case is acting as a vehicle of Islamic law, which comprehensively rules on all manner of personal habits, as well as on civil and legal affairs.

Needless to say, the Marine Corps doesn’t see it that way. Its spokesmen have contended narrowly that this lesson taught by a contractor (hired by the Corps) isn’t “formal Marine Corps doctrine,” as the Marine Corps Times editorial puts it. Formal or not, the editors also don’t think this Marine Shariah (Islamic law) is a bad idea. Headlined “Respect differences,” the editorial states: “Thing is, there’s value to this sort of insight.” Perhaps in the name of respecting “differences”?

Heavens, no. This is all about respecting Islam, not “differences.” After all, if it were about “differences,” the respect in question would extend to the non-Islamic belief that not all bodily functions taking place on planet Earth must key off the location of a town in Saudi Arabia. To each his own.

That’s not the editorial’s subject. The value, it says, comes “in light of the tense conditions under which both groups must coexist.”

Tense conditions—as in border firefights? Roadside bombs? No, again. The editorial refers to tensions between Muslims and infidels (BEGIN ITALS)inside the wire(END ITALS). “Consider that in the last four years,” the editorial continues, “nearly 60 coalition troops have been killed by their Afghan counterparts.”

So “respecting differences” here means pee straight or die. That’s the lesson the military wants to teach young Americans heading into the war zone—again, inside the wire. The only way it knows to increase their safety while on their own bases or when “partnering” with Afghans is to school them in the practice of Islamic law. In effect, then, collaboration with the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan requires the United States of America to Islamify its infidel forces, just a little, just to keep those religious crazies in the Afghan ranks from popping off.

More guidelines for U.S. forces: “If you must pass a man praying, pass at a respectful distance. Do not walk between a man praying and Mecca—always walk behind him. ... Do not touch Qurans or prayer rugs.” To be fair to the Marines, those rules come from the Center for Army Lessons Learned. But it’s all of a Pentagon piece. And guess where such “safety” education—the dhimmi rules of Shariah—will be taught next?

I bet it would surprise the brass at the Pentagon to learn that Islam means “submission,” and that the age-old choice Islam has offered infidels is to submit or die. Still, they seem to have learned, as the editorial puts it, that “certain behavior that wouldn’t get a second look stateside could lead to problems at a patrol base in Helmand province.”

“Problems.” What a way to invoke shootings of our people by Afghan forces—the spurting, flaring jihad none dares name. “Counseling Marines to aim east ultimately may head off trouble,” the editorial concludes. Submission always does.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
