“Crusader” Cash
Trijicon, maker of exception scopes for military and civilian use, has come under fire for inscriptions which appear on the company’s hardware. The inscriptions reference bible passages, often regarding Christ. The Muslim Public Affairs Council wants the inscriptions removed and no further shipments made to the U.S. military of hardware containing references to scripture. MPAC said the references “feed into the violent extremists’ narrative that the ongoing wars in Afghanistan and Iraq are a ‘crusade against Islam.’”
If references to God are unacceptable on military hardware, then the same argument can be made against sending U.S. Treasury notes to Muslim nations. Shall we stop sending bills with references to God on them to Afghanistan? Iraq? Think before you complain, MPAC.
