In reaction to the Fort Hood shootings, the founder of Albuquerque-based
Military Religious Freedom Foundation is calling on President Obama
to condemn harassment of Islamic military personnel.
Mikey Weinstein says the president must issue a zero-tolerance
policy for any military man or woman "inflicting harassments,
retribution or reprisal against an Islamic member of the U.S.
military."
The foundation has 18 active cases at Fort Hood "involving soldiers
who allege they have been subjected to nonstop fundamentalist
Christian proselytization,"
according to MRFF. Weinstein calls it one of the worst hotspots
among the 1,000 U.S. installations around the world.
Weinstein is himself a military man who graduated from the Air Force
Academy.
He's a Republican and was White House counsel during the Reagan
administration. The Alibi reported last week on the foundation's
2010 nomination for a Nobel Peace Prize.
