you will NOT believe what the military is teaching to our folks in uniform...

[ourbluenation]

or maybe you will.

1. OMG!

I took a class about religion a couple semesters ago and in it we learned about Islam. I MUST BE A TERRORIST!! OMG OMG OMG!!

[librechik]

2. Of course we have to propagandize our youth

telling the truth to them leads to people saying no to enlisting in the war machine. And making people into blank faced demons it's okay to shoot is what our military is all about.

[Sonoman]

3. 'Madrasah's'?

That was in the second frame.

One would think - with all the talent at hand - that those asshats could at least know how to spell Madrasahs. Do they even proofread their crap or just leave a pile of it on the sidewalk?

4. Probably written by a freeper.

It has the same (lack of) quality as their writing.

My guess is that it hasn't been updated since the Bush era.

[Buzz Clik]

6. Soon, there will be language about calphates, courtesy of Glenn Beck.

[Foo Fighter]

18. Actually, that's one of the various transliterations of the word so it's

correct.

But what's really funny about that term is that it's Arabic for "school." A few months back when some "terrorist" was been arrested, the M$M kept repeating the meme that he had been to a "madrasah." I work with a guy from the ME and we were both just shaking our heads over that one. "Yeah. So the guy went to SCHOOL. So what?!?"

Of course, we both knew what the M$M was trying to imply by using that word. After all, everyone knows that madrasahs are places to train terrorists. <<<< Yeah, that's sarcasm.

5. Whoops. Somebody forgot what Constitution they were sworn to protect.

Somewhere in the amendments... something about freedom of religion?

[Shagbark Hickory]

7. Lost me in the 1st sentence" ...some of the most prestigious universities...

...Harvard, Columbia, and the University of South Florida"

OK, I went to USF (Go Bulls!), so I'm not saying that it isn't a fine institution but I wouldn't call it one of the most prestigious universities in the nation like Harvard and Columbia.

Fucking hilarious.

[snappyturtle]

8. I cannot believe anyone is afeared of the Islamic religion enough to

produce that piece of cr.....! If they would only use their time to point out what Christianity has in common instead.

[blindpig]

9. well, they're right about one thing.

Harvard and other Ivy League schools have been training terrorists for a long time. But they are domestic, ruling class terrorists.

[ThomCat]

16. Yes, they wear suits and end up in board rooms running

corporations that destroy economies, create intentional poverty for others, externalizing costs no matter what the risks and hazards are for others, leave death and destruction in their wakes as long as they get to keep making their quarterly profits and bonuses.

Oh, they don't mean Those terrorists?... When they talk about Ivy League Universities, it's just so easy to make the obvious connections... Sorry.

[obxhead]

10. Not only do I believe, I would be shocked if they were not.

When the first rule is to obey without question, the curriculum must reinforce it.

[sammytko]

11. I was in the Air Force - we used to skim through those mandatory

training slides on our computers without really paying attention. As long as you got the certificate and checked off that training - woohoo!

[NuclearDem]

17. Yeah, same here

And honestly, this looks fake. I'd really like to know where this guy got his information.

Not only does that slide look like it was written by someone who had played too much CoD, but it just doesn't look like a CBT slide...

[BeFree]

12. I do

Talked to a kid that I know was raised as a Christian.
He's now in the Army and due to be in Afghanistan in a year.
When asked why he wanted to go, he said, "To kill the Muslims."

The Army, imo, has been brainwashing him. Well, they had to didn't they?

[Modern_Matthew]

13. Here's some ex-Marines discussing some disgusting chants they had to do...

http://www.leatherneck.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-60379.html

So, no, I am not shocked at something like this.

[walldude]

14. Witch hunt.

Some people never learn...

[VermeerLives]

15. Saudi Arabia has given literally millions to Harvard, Georgetown and others

for "Middle Eastern Studies".

[david13]

19. Oh, no, I believe it. And that it's only the tip of the iceberg. dc

[highplainsdem]

20. Here's a newspaper article on the Air Force Level II anti-terriorism training,

which those slides would be part of, according to what it says at the bottom of each slide.

http://www.alamogordonews.com/ci_17493648

-snip-

Arlan Ponder, 49th Wing Public Affairs spokesman, said the anti-terror training is not only a military effort, but civilian organizations like the FBI and Homeland Security are also involved and attend the anti-terrorism training at Holloman.

-snip-

Clark said the Level 1 training gives students a basic knowledge of anti-terrorism techniques, such as what to do if a person thinks they are being surveilled. Level 2 training allows students to teach the Level 1 anti-terrorism course as well as serve as anti-terrorism officers for their units.

-snip-

"They say I'm crazy, but I enjoy doing it," said Dan Salinas, acting anti-terrorism officer, safety technician and civilian employee at the Airman & Family Readiness Center.

-snip-

Salinas urged everyone to practice good vigilancy, never trust anyone and "go with your gut feeling."

Anyway, those ridiculous slides are part of the course for people who will teach others about anti-terrorism.
