[On a picture of a Muslim-American soldier's grave for Memorial Day.]

In a documentary on the USS Abraham Lincoln I saw some years ago, it detailed the day in the lives of two members of that US Navy carrier's crew. One being the US Marine pilot of an F-18. The other the weapons officer.
The latter is a Muslim .
It showed him, with a prayer mat & a compass - in a quiet corner of the hangar bay, with other crewmembers walking by - checking the direction of Mecca, then laying down said mat in that direction, then proceeded to pray in that direction.
He wasn't bothered in any way by anyone walking by.
If a documentary is 'propaganda', then the only one waging holy war are yourselves .
You do realise that Muslims have existed in your country since the mid-19th Century, do you not? So why so unconcerned about them up to just after 10th September 2001...?!
You do realise what this means re. 'Propaganda'. Do you not ...?
Everyone has seen pictures of the rows on rows of crosses that are the monuments of dead soldiers. A Muslim soldier dies for the US and it's fucking "Muslim propaganda," however, to show his monument?!
I'm starting to think Donald Trump has been sent by god to punish the United States for a toxic mix of pride and brain-dead stupidity.

To be fair if we read Ezekiel 16:45-49 we find that America, especially right wingers are very much like Sodom was. Though I am more convinced if there is a god (mind you I'm polytheistic) he (or I prefer they) put him in power, then will take him out of power in a way that should embarrass him and his supporters exposing their hypocrisy.
You might ask people in Great Britain and Ireland about all the bombs going off in those Christian countries, as the Catholics and Protestants in Ireland fought each other.
You might also walk through a military cemetery of any size and see how many of the 65 approved religious symbols are on the monuments. Hint: less than half of them are Christian sects.

You are not worthy to touch the shadows of their memorials.
What did you do in the war, Donald...?! [/John McCain, Bruce Springsteen, Oliver Stone]
Confused?
