Defense Dept. Okays Process Allowing Cadets to Wear Hijabs for JROTC Program

Army Announces Changes to Hijab Procedure for JROTC | Demin Zawity

In October, we brought you the story of Demin Zawity, a Muslim member of the Junior ROTC member at Ravenwood High School in Brentwood, Tenn., who was not allowed to march in a program parade because she insisted on wearing her head covering, or hijab. At the time, military rules forbid such head coverings. Zawity employed the help of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), and now, the Department of Defense has relented and changed the rules.

CAIR announced the decision late last week and says it will apply to both Muslim and Sikh students.

“We welcome the fact that Muslim and Sikh students nationwide will now be able to participate fully in JROTC leadership activities while maintaining their religious beliefs and practices,” CAIR National Executive Director Nihad Awad told the Orlando Sentinel.

Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army Larry Stubblefield outlined the new exception procedure in a Dec. 19 letter to CAIR:

 ”I have been asked to respond on behalf of the Secretary of Defense Leon E. Panetta to your October 13, 2011 letter concerning Miss Demin Zawity’s request to wear a religious head covering (hijab) while participating in an Army Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC) event at Ravenwood High School.

“Based on your concerns, the Army has reviewed its JROTC uniform policy and will develop appropriate procedures to provide Cadets the opportunity to request the wear of religious head dress, such as the turban and hijab. This change will allow Miss Zawity and other students the chance to fully participate in the JROTC program. Additionally, a representative from the U.S. Army Cadet Command will contact Miss Zawity and provide her the opportunity to rejoin the Ravenwood High School JROTC unit.

“The Army prides itself in being a diverse organization, comprised of individuals from many faiths and religions. We appreciate you bringing this matter to our attention.”

Under U.S. Army policy, full head coverings are prohibited during official uniformed ceremonies.

“I was like, you’ve got to be kidding me. I wanted to just break down crying right there,” Zawity told Nashville’s WTVF-TV at the time. “They‘re telling me I’m not allowed to march in the parade just because of a piece of cloth wrapped around my head. And to me it‘s not like it’s just a piece of cloth, to me, it’s like my symbol.”

      Know one thing about high military leadership. They care not one whit for the troops under their command. All they are concerned with are pawns of any kind that they can move around the board and manipulate to perform their many hare-brained tasks, and they’re willing to accept anybody, promote anybody, and overlook divisiness in order to get as many bullet stoppers and as much cannon fodder as they can, while they manipulate entire units any way they choose, and those individuals lost, because of their idiotic policies, are counted merely as “collateral damage,” people that they’re willing to sacrifice as part of what they perceive to be the big picture.

      They DID NOT abolish DADT, because of any principle; they DID NOT pursue AA programs, inserting unqualified officers under their command, because they think it is the “right” thing to do; they DID NOT waive standards for dress for Muslims, because they feel doing so will make for a better military. They did all of it, because they perceive some advantage to themselves in what they perceive as their pursuit of victory within the big picture.

      And, all these things they did knowing they won’t be accepted by the vast majority, but they don’t care.

      They don’t care. There are NO Eisenhowers in today’s military who anguish over sending men to die in battle. What we have now are bithering idiots who are determined to look out for number one even if it sacrifices many thousands of lives.

      If you are in the military, how do you feel knowing that your life depends on others who may be wearing the same head covering as the enemy. Would you feel safe? Would you feel an added stress to the already highly stressful situation?

      If the same rules do not apply to everyone, then there is no loss of individuality which is necessary in order to have a cohesive unit. Does anyone think that our soldiers do not know about the Muslim terrorist attacks that have already occurred from within the military?

      IMHBLO, it now appears that the military has lost its ability to learn from history, along with everyone else.

      The fall of Rome began this exact same way. And today we are witnessing the same exact tactics used on us. All because we can’t (actually, we choose to refuse) to learn.

      IMHBLO, I venture to say that the other great civilizations, all of them, failed for the same reasons. Aztec, Mayan, Egyptian. (http://www.ourcivilisation.com/study.htm) based on historic evidence and/or the lack of it.

      This is wrong. Even though it involves high school students, the JROTC program is diminished by making this kind of exception. Either everyone wears the uniform with the same components or it is not a UNIFORM and the concept of good order and discipline, which is the backbone of the program, is lost, and it might as well be replaced by a Boy Scout or Girl Scout troop.

      The whole point of the military is to take people from different ethnicities, backgrounds and cultures and strip them of their individualism and mold them into one cohesive unit (culture) adhering to one set of standards. When you join the military you are trading your culture for the military culture, it‘s not a job it’s a vocation, it’s a way of life, at least it used to be. Thanks Obama. It’s only a matter of time before there are gay pride parades on military bases. The Left is slowly but surely chipping away at everything that is sacred in this nation. Then again how else can you FUNDAMENTALY transform a nation? When I returned from Afghanistan I had the opportunity (honor) to be a speak several times regarding my experiences in the war. When people asked me how much of a threat Al Qaeda was I always answered that our biggest threat was from within, from people who deep down inside hate what America stands for and want to fundamentally changer her. They want to remove God from ever facet of society, they are in favor of aborting babies in the name of quality of life and conserving resources, they want to indoctrinate our children into “alternative” lifestyles and sexual experimentation, the environment is their religion and their motto is “In Government we trust” Pray to God for our country, we need God now more than ever.

This country was founded on Church fundamentals and Christian beliefs. This is what makes the U.S. different than other countries and why we are the only super power. When you stop and think, this country is only a little over 200 years old but the strongest in the world. The reason is? Our foundation and faith in God.

Practice and get good with that gun. Switching guns causes accidents. Why do you think police train so much? The more you train the less likely to have an accident.

      Separation of church and state is not found anywhere in the constitution. The constitution simply states that the Gov’t cannot establish a state religion or force people to practice a specific religion. Just like everything else that the Left wing twists to suit them they have twisted this as well. The Left likes to twist words and meanings such as calling the murder of baies in the womb :“Choice” or the censoring of conservative radio “The Fairness Doctrine” or forcing people to purchase state controlled health care “The affordable health care act” or calling Terrorism “Man caused Disaster” or calling the War on Terror “Overseas Contingency Operation” or calling the mass murder of soldiers by an Islamic extremist “Workplace violence” or calling child pornography “Freedom of Expression”

They capitalize on claiming to be victims and they drool at any sign of sympathy like a wolf drooling at the sight of an unguarded hen house.

      I listen to so many of our youth today and they pride themselves in proving just how diversified they are. They go out of their way to to praise everyones culture but their own, American culture.

    What is wrong with our Military………….we are so crazy. We will never have to worry about anyone destroying us because we are doing it from within. If we DO NOT LEARN from history, than we will repeat it. Look at Rome and why they fell…………….men sleeping with men, no morals, etc. II Chronicles 7:14…………we take Christ out of everything and we wonder why our world is up side down. I am truly saddened for our Nation and I pray God have mercy on us. A Nation that forgets God will fall and we are falling fast. My freedom as a Christian is slowly being taken away. However, as a CHRISTIAN I will fight to the end.

    This all comes down to christian principles. Principles are a concept far from the core of either the leftist progressives or the Islamo/muslim terrorists. As Saul Alinsky advocates, any means necessary to achieve your objective and how in the Koran it specifically advocates lying to your enemy, deceptively acting as if they are not your enemy, to defeat them. There is no honor among theives and the left and islam are stealing our freedoms more every day, that is, until we christian principled people unite and defeat the cancer of civilized society! WE better wake up soon, or we will have no freedoms left, except the freedom to die at the hands of our enemies or live a life of slavery to the tyranny of big government!!!

    Our Country has been compromised from within; make 2012 count. We cannot afford to let the current administration and current congress to stay in power. No we don’t need a 3rd party, that would insure a win for the enemy of our great nation. Just be sure who you vote for who has America and her people’s best interest in mind.

    To Mr. Leon Panetta,
    You sir need to sit down and read the Quaran. I honestly believe these people are enemies of the United States. One of the reasons for the establishment of the U.S. Navy was to stop the muslims from kidnapping and enslaving American merchant marine sailors. What has changed in muslim theology since then? Exactly nothing. There is no greater glory than to die in jihad for the beloved prophet. We are the great satan. They want to kill us. Period. I spent 10 years of my life in the Navy in Photographic Intelligence and the world is not the nicey nicey place that you think it is or want it to be. We need to begin calling a spade a spade. Islam is the enemy, has always been, and will forever be. Political Correctness will not change facts.

    AGAIN. As long as we keep viewing Islam as a religion and not the political system it is, Islam will continue to use our freedom of religion guarantees against us to replace our laws with it own.
    Islam is not a religion. It is a political system which uses a brutal religion to enforce slavery on all it subjugates. The proof is in the original Arabic interpretation of the Koran. Not the sanitized for western consumption version.
