Killers? Intolerance?

That's called Islam.

How far does the military have to go to make itself socially acceptable to you? Pull all the crosses off the graves? Require all members renounce their faith (and there are a hell of a lot of them even now in the age of immorality)? Religious intolerance by athiests who require everyone to bend to their will so they won't be offended by things they don't believe or care about is absolutely hypocritical.

Why are athiests, Islamics, homosexuals and mutants, and 'people of color' the only ones who can be offended? Of course then there are those who will be offended for them (like you).
