Air Force Scheduled Showing of Anti-Catholic Film to Appease Muslim Complaints....
Dhimmitude at its absolute fucking worst. Because of Muslim complaints that the Air Force Academy allowed former Muslim terrorists to speak critically of Islam, they decided to appease them by showing a documentary that trashes Catholicism. Sanity prevailed and the showing was canceled at the very last second. Still though, the damage was done....
Air Force Academy officials declined to show clips from a documentary critical of Christian proselytizing in the U.S. military at a seminar Wednesday on war and religion.
Footage from “Constantine’s Sword,” a documentary premiering April 19 in New York, was scheduled to be shown to cadets during the panel discussion.
But academy sponsors decided at the last minute against using the film clips because several Catholic organizations nationwide complained that the footage was anti-Catholic, said academy spokesmen Johnny Whitaker.
Catholic League President Bill Donohue said in a statement Wednesday that the documentary is “a propaganda film that trashes Catholicism.”
The seminar, titled “USA’s War on Terror: Not a Battle Between Christianity and Islam,” was delayed 25 minutes while academy representatives debated whether to show the controversial footage, which reportedly included scenes involving alleged religious discrimination at the academy between 2003 and 2005.
The speakers were former U.S. Ambassador Joseph Wilson, a critic of the Iraq war; Islamic scholar Reza Aslan; and academy graduate Mikey Weinstein, who sued the Air Force in 2005 for allegedly encouraging Christian evangelicals to proselytize to cadets. The case was dismissed before going to trial.
Wednesday’s event, which was not open to the public, was organized to counter charges of bias from the Muslim community and others after a February seminar at the academy in which cadets heard speakers claiming to be former Islamic terrorists who characterized Islam as a dangerous religion.Wednesday’s speakers, by contrast, argued that the U.S. military’s embracing of Christianity sends the message to Arabs that the Iraq war is not about freeing Iraqi people but about converting the Muslim world to Christianity.
