‘Gay’ Flag Flies Over Afghan Base While Cross Removed From Army Chapel and Atheist Rally Sponsored on Military Base
The U.S. military hosted an event over the weekend for soldiers and others who don’t believe in God. It was called “Rock Beyond Belief.” A so-called ‘gay’ flag flew over a U.S. military base in Afghanistan last week. Last year, the Obama Administration banned the Christian cross from a worship tent in Afghanistan. The cross was considered to be offensive.
“The U.S. Army has removed a cross that was prominently placed on the front of a chapel located at the remote base of Camp Marmal in Northern Afghanistan. . . . [O]fficials said that having a permanent sectarian image on the chapel violated army regulations. . . . One soldier referred to the decision and the regulation behind it as ‘a direct attack against Christianity and Judaism.’”
This isn’t the first time Christianity has been an issue in Afghanistan. Bibles translated into Afghan languages were sent to a U.S. soldier at a base in Afghanistan. They were deemed to be offensive to the Muslim population. And a ‘gay’ flag isn’t?
