#General Won't Quit Over Islam Remarks, Officials Say |
General Won't Quit Over Islam Remarks, Officials Say
Reuters
Friday, October 17, 2003; 3:32 PM
http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn/A42174-2003Oct17?language=printer
By Will Dunham
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A senior Pentagon intelligence official facing
criticism for his comments that Muslims worship an "idol" does not
plan to quit his post and believes his remarks have been taken out of
context, U.S. defense officials said on Friday.
Army Lt. Gen. William Boykin, deputy undersecretary of defense for
intelligence and war-fighting support, has "decided to tone things
down" although he "feels that his comments have been taken out of
context," said one defense official, speaking on condition of
anonymity.
Boykin has used speeches at churches and prayer breakfasts to portray
the U.S. battle with Islamic radicals as a clash with "Satan," saying
they sought to destroy America "because we're a Christian nation."
Referring to a Muslim fighter in Somalia, Boykin said that "my God was
bigger than his. I knew that my God was a real God, and his was an
idol."
A senior Democratic member of the House of Representatives, Rep. John
Conyers of Michigan, asked Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld to
discipline Boykin.
"I urge you to reassign or reprimand him; we cannot afford to have
such an extremist speaking on behalf of our nation and our military,"
Conyers wrote in a letter to Rumsfeld.
"This is a critical policymaking position, and it is outrageous that
someone who holds such extreme, closed-minded, zealous views would be
allowed such a prominent position in our military," Conyers added.
Rumsfeld on Thursday declined to criticize Boykin's remarks and
praised the three-star general's military record, and Gen. Richard
Myers, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said he did not think
Boykin broke any rules.
NBC News this week broadcast videotapes of Boykin, an evangelical
Christian, giving speeches while wearing his Army uniform at Christian
functions around the country.
Defense officials said Boykin was expected to issue a written
statement later on Friday.
One defense official said, "I would not expect him to engage in those
sorts of speaking engagements in the future."
The official did not make clear in what ways Boykin would "tone things
down," nor did the official state whether Boykin's decision was
prompted by anyone in the Pentagon leadership.
Two officials said Boykin is not expected to leave his Pentagon post.
White House spokesman Trent Duffy, asked to comment on the general's
remarks, referred questions to the Pentagon and pointed out that
President Bush has said the United States is not at war with Islam.
Boykin's remarks have been criticized by some civil rights and
religious groups.
The Interfaith Alliance, a Washington-based organization that promotes
religious tolerance, asked that Boykin be reassigned. John Peterson, a
spokesman for the group, questioned why Boykin did not get a strong
rebuke from Rumsfeld and Myers.
"If he were a Muslim officer who made similar comments about
evangelical Christians, the administration would have been all over
him," said John Peterson, a spokesman for the group.
"The Army is one of the most religiously diverse groups in the
country. And their own military chaplain code of ethics talks about
sensitivity and faith practices that are respectful of other religious
bodies. His remarks are the polar opposite," Peterson added.

Lo, many moons past, on 17 Oct 2003 18:50:35 -0700, a stranger called
by some (RCMan) came forth and told this tale in
alt.atheism
NBC News this week broadcast videotapes of Boykin, an evangelical
Christian, giving speeches while wearing his Army uniform at Christian
functions around the country.
OK, at this point he deserves to be court-martialed. Wearing the
uniform and making such remarkes is Conduct Unbecoming and Officer and
a Gentleman (Article 133 of the UCMJ)

That's a good christian answer.
Why exactly should what this man did be hidden from people? Why kill those
who report what was done?
Your comment is one of the reasons we fear a nation under such control. What
you and people like you don't realize is that you should be equally afraid
if you really believe what you preach.
With over 20,000 sects in existence, yours odds of being in the one that
takes command is slim.
Read a little history to find out what happened to those who picked wrong.

Not the point. But it adds to your history lesson.
Now you have to read about both the protestant revolution where having the
beliefs of one village could get you killed in another village and being a
moderate would get you killed in all of them.
You also must study the peasant revolution and find that they wanted to
bring people back to the bible.

and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come,

Actually it IS a good Christian answer. Jesus said that those who would not
serve under him should be killed (Luke 19:27) and the poster is just emulating

But he is suggesting killing the people who reported on the man's actions.
Maybe those people were just honestly reporting and may have done it to show
what a True Christian should do.
Had he said that any who disagreed with the general be killed, that would
fit what you say.

i agree with this comment. telling people to send
a missile is just like pat robertson telling people
we need to bomb the state department.
this is one of the reasons when i attempt to get
people to turn to God i have problems. they all
say look at this person or that one , i dont want
to be anything like that. then i have to explain
that to be a real christian is not to be like them
at all.
false christians are making it very difficult
to get people to turn to God. its amazing.
of course they usually roll their eyes in their
heads just like that female senator from texas
and say "its their right u know "

Perhaps it would be more profitable for the general to send a missile to
NBC or better yet buy them all a ticket to Iraq(one way of course).
Um. Why?
Because christians kill. It's what they do best, along with stealing
and molesting children.
I keep wondering how it is this "morality" is supposed to make society
better...

Lo, many moons past, on 17 Oct 2003 18:50:35 -0700, a stranger called
by some (RCMan) came forth and told this tale in
alt.atheism
NBC News this week broadcast videotapes of Boykin, an evangelical
Christian, giving speeches while wearing his Army uniform at Christian
functions around the country.
OK, at this point he deserves to be court-martialed. Wearing the
uniform and making such remarkes is Conduct Unbecoming and Officer and
a Gentleman (Article 133 of the UCMJ)

Simple: a dead unbeliever is incapable of breaking the law. Fewer
lawbreakers = fewer broken laws = a more "moral" society.

They all did their best--to kill being the chiefest ambition of the human
race and the earliest incident in its history-- but only the Christian
civilization has scored a triumph to be proud of. Two or three centuries
from now it will be recognized that all the competent killers are
Christians; then the pagan world will go to school to the Christian--not to
acquire his religion, but his guns.
-Mark Twain
