In Case There Was Any Doubt

Suuuuure

That America’s ideology is as fucked in the head as a militant Muslim jihadist, we have this touching story.

Coded references to New Testament Bible passages about Jesus Christ are inscribed on high-powered rifle sights provided to the United States military by a Michigan company.

Nice. Has any religious fanatic in this country ever read the New Testament?! I’m not so sure Jesus would sign an endorsement deal supporting this. And there’s nothing a right wing Muslim likes more than the seeds of democracy being fired at his face, laced with JC. WTF.

The sights are used by U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan and in the training of Iraqi and Afghan soldiers. The maker of the sights, Trijicon, has a $660 million multi-year contract to provide up to 800,000 sights to the Marine Corps, and additional contracts to provide sights to the U.S. Army.

Oh great. Not only are we using these sites to help kill Muslims, we are traning Muslims to kill other Muslims on the back of hijacked verses from the gospels. Gee, I wonder if this will have any repurcussions? I bet if it does, it’s because they hate us for our freedom and nothing else…
