But when you find out the same Mr. Weinstein is consulting with the military to help develop its policies in regard to religious tolerance, you may be a bit more concerned.
Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council reports,
The Obama Pentagon may not have been
responsible for blocking the Southern Baptist Convention website, but
there’s no mistaking their involvement in the military’s latest
anti-Christian offensive. (Emphasis on the word “offensive!”) In an
absolute stunner, the Pentagon is meeting with Mikey Weinstein–a man who
compared Christian evangelism to “rape”–to vet its new instructional
guide on religious tolerance in the military.
Weinstein, who heads up the cross-crushing, prayer-prosecuting Military
Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF), is the same man who just published
a blistering rant calling evangelicals “fundamentalist Christian
monsters.” (And that’s the nice part!) “We must,” he writes,
“vigorously support the continuing efforts to expose pathologically
anti-gay, Islamophobic, and rabidly intolerant agitators for what they
are: die-hard enemies of the United States Constitution. Monsters, one
and all. To do any less would be to roll out a red carpet to those who
would usher in a blood-drenched, draconian era of persecutions,
nationalistic militarism, and superstitious theocracy.” .
. .
Based on what we know of the document,
which has yet to be distributed, the regulations have Weinstein’s
fingerprints all over it. Among other things, the Washington Post explains,
it threatens to treat service members caught witnessing as enemies of
the state. “Leaders at all levels,” the document says, “must avoid the
actual or apparent use of their position to promote their personal
religious beliefs to their subordinates or to extend preferential
treatment for any religion.” Non-compliance, the Pentagon suggests, even from ordained chaplains could result in court-martialing on a case-by-case basis.
One of Wienstein’s staff members charged that proselytizing was an
act of “spiritual rape” that destroy the bonds between soldiers, and
thus Christian evangelism is a “national security threat.”Sexual assault and proselytizing are absolutely destructive of the bonds that keep soldiers together… This is a national security threat. . . . What is happening [aside from sexual assault] is spiritual rape. And what the Pentagon needs to understand is that it is sedition and treason. It should be punished.”
Perkins notes, “As Wilkerson probably knows, the punishment for treason in America is death. Are we to assume that MRFF would be lobbying for that as well?”
He adds, “To say that their quotes are outrageous is an understatement. But to hear that the Obama administration is not only meeting with–but taking counsel from–these men is downright shocking.”
