Trijicon's "outrageous practice" of stamping Christian references on rifle scopes used by the U.S. military "was an unconstitutional disgrace of the highest magnitude to our military, and an action that clearly gave additional incentive and emboldenment to recruiters for our nation's enemies," Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF) head Mikey Weinstein said, after Trijicon Inc. said it would stop the practice.
"It is nothing short of a vile national security threat that, despite our nation's efforts to convince the Muslim world we are not pursuing a holy war against them, our military and its contractors time and again resort to unlawful fundamentalist evangelical Christian practices, even on the battlefield," Weinstein posted on the MRFF website.
MRFF -- a watchdog group of "the free exercise of religious freedom in the military" -- is taking credit for breaking the story earlier this week, and is now calling for a congressional investigation.
