US Military Personnel forced to Submit to the Sharia during Ramadan

Editors Note:    I read the original notice I got about this and thought it was wrong.  Upon researching it I found it was correct!  I am amazed.  This is what the Obama administration and the US military are obsessed with as armies of jihad tear through the Middle East, murdering, plundering, raping and mutilating??  Our military even have to wear clothing considered decent by these medeival, barbaric muslims and greet them in a certain way?? What is even worse it the propaganda even quotes a US soldier, a Petty Officer 1st Class James Ramirez as saying, and I quote from the article here:     “It actually made me want to do a lot more research into the religion.”  Religion???  No folks, Islam is not a religion.  It is a cesspool of filthy, degrading, inhumans and is a cult where the so called God they worship is a sick paedophile (Muhommad). They are intollerant of all who are not Muslim and their aim is world domination and the implementation of Sharia Law.  God help you if you are gay!!  They have no plans to integrate into any other society than their own.  Cultural Diversity, a phraze so beloved by the left, is not eben in their vocabulary.  They even have the President of the United States, a usurper of unknown lineage,  background and history, with a Muslim name (HUSSEIN)  and an upbringing in a strong Muslim country (Indonesia), supporting any Muslim aim he can, arming them with American weapons, even those groups alligned to al Qaeda who are sworn to destroy the Big Satan (America) as well as Israel.   Obama and this sick cult even were united in the plot to murder, rape and violate the ambassador in Libya and the other three American heroes murdered with him in Benghazi. America, our military are being slowly destroyed by the left wing and the Obama Administration and this is just a further nail in their coffin….Just my opinion America, Fred Brownbill.



US personnel in Bahrain prepare for Ramadan

Ali Hassan, a base cultural adviser at Naval Support Activity Bahrain, briefs about 150 U.S. personnel about Islam, the Islamic lunar calender, and about customs and traditions during Ramadan, Tuesday.

MANAMA, Bahrain — U.S. personnel accustomed to drinking their coffee on the drive to work will have to put that habit on hold for about a month. It’s one of a few lifestyle changes Americans will have to make during the holy month of Ramadan.

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar. Officials expect Ramadan to begin at sunrise on Saturday, depending on when the new moon is sighted. The holy month lasts for approximately 30 days — until about July 28. For Muslims around the world, Ramadan is a month of fasting and devotion to God. Most Muslims fast from dawn to sunset, when families gather for Iftar — the meal that breaks the fast.

For the 8,200 U.S. personnel living here, and those serving throughout the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility — including service members, civilian personnel, contractors and family members — the month may require changing some daily routines.

Businesses and government offices will reduce hours and most restaurants will be closed during daylight hours.

While not required to fast during Ramadan, in Bahrain, Americans can be fined or detained by local authorities for eating, drinking or smoking in public when off-base during daylight hours.

Navy officials are requiring U.S. personnel to dress more conservatively off-base during Ramadan. Although not a requirement by Bahraini authorities, the Navy is demanding that men wear long-sleeved shirts and women wear sleeved blouses that cover their elbows. Also, men must wear long trousers, and women should wear pants or skirts that cover the knees.

Base cultural advisers have spent the last few weeks conducting Ramadan briefs to educate Americans about the holy month. Ali Hassan briefed about 150 personnel Tuesday about Islam, the lunar calendar and customs and traditions during Ramadan.

“It actually made me want to do a lot more research into the religion,” said Petty Officer 1st Class James Ramirez. He said the additional requirements during the month aren't a big deal to him. “For such a small period of time, it’s a small sacrifice,” he said.

Other service members echoed that sentiment.

Hassan encouraged personnel to experience Iftar in a Ramadan tent, many of which are set up at various locations around Bahrain during the holy month and welcome non-Muslims.

“Make it a point to visit these tents while you’re here. You don’t know if you’ll ever come back to Bahrain in the future,” Hassan said during the brief.

While the tents offer a more traditional atmosphere, many restaurants put aside their regular menus during the month and serve special Iftar dinners.

Things to Know During Ramadan:

Eating, drinking, chewing and smoking in public are civil offenses in some Islamic countries.

Men should wear long sleeves and pants. Women’s sleeves should extend below the elbow and pants or skirts should cover the knees.

Avoid critical remarks about fasting or any religious practice.

Most restaurants will be closed except those in 4- and 5-star hotels.

Businesses alter and reduce hours during the day; some open at night until early morning hours.

Arabs are good hosts and may offer you food or refreshments during daylight hours. Such offers should be declined.

All consumption of alcohol by U.S. military personnel is prohibited at any off base public venue in the U.S. Navy 5th Fleet Area of Responsibility during Ramadan.

It’s customary to say ‘Ramadan Kareem’ during Ramadan.
