New Army Manual Orders Soldiers Not To Criticize Taliban
Here is a strong indicator that the Obama Administration’s crusade to appease Islam has gone too far; a new U.S. military handbook for troops deployed to the Middle East orders soldiers not to make derogatory comments about the Taliban or criticize pedophilia, among other outrageous things.
It gets better; the new manual, which is around 75 pages, suggests that Western ignorance of Afghan culture— not Taliban infiltration—is responsible for the increase in deadly attacks by Afghan soldiers against the coalition forces.
The soon-to-be-released Army handbook is still being drafted, but a mainstream newspaper got a sneak preview and published an article that should infuriate the American taxpayers funding the never-ending war on terror. The manual is being created because someone with authority bought the theory that cultural insensitivity is driving insider attacks on U.S. troops in Afghanistan.
More than three dozen insider attacks have killed 63 members of the U.S.-led coalition this year, according to the article, and some blame “American cultural ignorance.” The bottom line is that troops may experience social-cultural shock and/or discomfort when interacting with Afghan security forces, the new military handbook says. “Better situational awareness/understanding of Afghan culture will help better prepare [troops] to more effectively partner and to avoid cultural conflict that can lead toward green-on-blue violence.”
The draft leaked to the newspaper offers a list of “taboo conversation topics” that soldiers should avoid, including “making derogatory comments about the Taliban,” “advocating women’s rights,” “any criticism of pedophilia,” “directing any criticism towards Afghans,” “mentioning homosexuality and homosexual conduct” or “anything related to Islam.”
At least one high-ranking military official had the backbone to publicly criticize the new manual, albeit through a spokesperson. U.S. Marine General John Allen, the top commander in Afghanistan, doesn’t endorse it and rejected a proposed forward drafted by Army officials in his name. “He does not approve of its contents,” according to a military spokesman quoted in the story.
Earlier this year the Obama Administration changed the way federal agents are trained to combat terrorism and violent extremism by eliminating all materials that shed a negative light on Muslims. Under White House orders, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) destroyed instructional material that characterizes Muslims as prone to violence or terrorism in a government-wide call to end Islamophobia.
Under Obama practically every major federal agency has been ordered to participate in Muslim outreach initiatives, including the Justice Department with a special program to protect Islamic civil rights, Homeland Security meetings with extremist Muslim organizations and the nation’s space agency (NASA) with an unprecedented mission to focus on Muslim diplomacy.
Additionally, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton signed a special order to allow the reentry of two radical Islamic academics whose terrorist ties long banned them from the U.S. and the administration sent an America-bashing mosque leader (Feisal Abdul Rauf) who blames U.S. foreign policy for the 9/11 attacks on a Middle Eastern outreach mission. The Obama Administration even ordered a government-funded meal program for home-bound seniors to offer halal cuisine prepared according to Islamic law.

I guess this explains why they watched Ambassador Stevens be raped and murdered without helping him.
We went there ti kill Taliban or make them surrender. This is insane and an obvious demoralizing campaign AGAINST our troops by the administration and complicit traitors in the pentagon.
Keep pushing and don’t be surprised at the far-reaching implications and impact such anti-Americanism will bring.
KUDOs to General Allen for making the point that this bird won’t fly in his own way.
And to others that say “we’ll be bowing to allah”…maybe you lack the personal moral convictions to refuse. A line has been drawn in the sand and the infection caused by progressive ill-logic is continuing to assail our LIBERTIES. You go right ahead an “bow”. I refuse and will do everthing in within my capabilities to say HELL NO whether or not folks like it, find it repulsive or are want to call me names while attaching labels of prejudicicial nature indicating I’m racists, near-sighted or along some form of extremist.
MERRY CHRISTMAS AMERICA! If the brakes aren’t soon applied with fevor on this runaway train of Nanny State mentalities…this could be your final Christmas season that has any hint of being merry! Time will soon tell.
No one has done more to advance the cause of islam in the world, none other than the muslim president of America, Hussein Obama.
islam is the enemy of the free world! If we stay on this track soon all will bow to Allah.
It’s not Islamophobia, WHEN THEY REALLY ARE TRYING TO KILL YOU! dumbass…..
Whats disappointing is our Government is going out of its way to pee the Americans off, the Judicial System is also doing every thhing to tell us that our Government seized American and took over but yet. we are all sitting here twitting our fingers looking at each other and saying “Is someone going to stop it?” because that is what we thought you were for, to stop this crap! if you cant do it then who can, or are we all screwed? If so…. Tell us to just get out while we have a chance to save our families before they bring war to the United States!
Im just curious if anyone plans on doing anything other than writing news articles about it ? Seriously if these people are doing something wrong wouldnt you think Americans would take back Congress or are we just going to sit around reading news articles of you doing NOTHING about it!
That’s because they enemy isn’t comprised totally of Talliban.
