Assuming the Muslim festival in question has a history of supporting the military, has a portion of its event specifically focused on the military, and has been granted flyovers for the last 40 years … OF COURSE I’d support it. Who wouldn’t?

I see…

Doesn’t this discriminate against religious festivals that are less than 40 years old?

Anyone here support a flyover for Muslim Festivals?

Or should the Christian Higher Entity get more attention than the Muslim One?

The truly faithful christians will return to the one true historic and apostolic Church that Christ founded..the Orthodox Church.

Could it be. . . St. Olaf is back?

Dumbass, Muslims would claim they were being threatened, so yes, I would love for more flyovers at Muslim Festivals. Never know when we may need a strike.

Glad you love the idea. I’ll take that as support for it.

Any festival/event that meets whatever the military criteria are, regardless of it’s faith basis, (or lack thereof.)

Those who don’t like religous intrusion into public life would do well to remember that discrimination against religion is just as corrosive as discrimination in the name of religion.

Fair enough.

Pilot: Roger that. You want fast and furious, or slow and steady?

CT: Lets go with fandf this time. They were pointing last time, we like to make em scatter.

P: Roger

Seems we’ve been doing a lot of that out in Fuzzystan.

I’m pretty sure many truly faithful Christians fled from these established, flawed churches dominated by bureaucrats.

See you in 21 years. Hopefully the Orthodox Church will have flourished. Pretty sure the Evangelical Protestant churches will have as well.

“If people are saying that, they’re probably looking for media attention or looking to disparage other faiths.”

These people are such fanatics. They think that if YOU believe your faith is True, then you are disparaging other people’s opposing faiths. In other words they truly believe that if you believe something is TRUE,then you are a criminal who should be prosecuted for hate crimes infractions.

This is relativistic truth at it’s best: If you believe something is absolutely True..then you are an intolerant nazi.
It is such a shame that “non denominational” protestant christianity has been infected with the moral relativism of the 20th century.(i.e. all opposing and varying interpretations are true)

This is why protestantism will die out completely within the next 20 years.

Pam Baldwin, executive director of the Interfaith Alliance of Idaho, said there’s no basis for the assertion that the denial amounted to federal government discrimination against Christians.

“Everything is not about whether folks are Jews or Christians or Muslims,” she said. “If people are saying that, they’re probably looking for media attention or looking to disparage other faiths.”

Got it. Those intolerant Christians are at it again.

Those “God and Country” types?

They make up the bulk of enlistees in our armed forces.

Catch the interest of a young person with an fly over…and who knows where that young kid’s interests will carry him or her? There is a retired Air Force colonel down the road…an air show with USAF fighters in a flyover when he was very young carried him to the Air Force Academy, and then to the astronaut program, and he still holds the record for the number of space shuttle flights he flew.

Had it not been for that up close and personal viewing of awesome aircraft flying by when he was a young kid, he’d be like most of his elementary and high school friends…a local small farmer or working in a factory worried about retirement and paying the bills.

The public affairs people (and the legal beagles) are really overlooking opportunities.

Dumb.

More than 70 new recruits from multiple branches were sworn in as part of the festival this year…

Enjoy being the Janissaries in Khalifa Obama’s army kids.

What a load.

I’m seriously confused.
