A religious freedom foundation says it has uncovered evidence that bolsters its federal lawsuit claiming that the military is permitting widespread violations of religious freedom at installations across the country.
Included in the evidence disclosed yesterday are photos and videos of religious materials and activities at Fort Riley in Kansas, the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, and Fort Jackson, South Carolina.
The evidence is part of a lawsuit filed by the Military Religious Freedom Foundation -- headed by 1977 Air Force graduate Mike Weinstein.
Among the evidence is a book for sale at the Fort Riley post exchange titled "A Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam."
Other evidence includes a display outside a military police battalion's office with a quote from conservative columnist Ann Coulter that reads: quoting -- "We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity."
Military officials say their policy is to accommodate all religious beliefs.

It’s interesting that Weinstein is referring to these as “violations of religious freedom”, shouldn’t they rather be cited as “EXAMPLES of religious freedom”? Once again, ignorant liberals confuse “freedom OF religion” with “freedom FROM religion” which, as anyone with an 8th grade education who bothers to check can tell you, DOES NOT EXIST! (but when was the last time these folks actually cared what was in the Constitution anyways)!
Seconding Debbie's comments. I have the Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam and the Crusades and that's exactly what it is. How is having a contrary point of view violating someone else's freedom, religious or otherwise?
Well done, Debbie. The MRFF just needs to pack up their bags and go away. This constant resurgance of ridiculous and miniscule claims is getting old. Mikey does not represent myself, my family, or any one that I know...get a life, loser!
