Top Marine celebrates Ramadan at a Baltimore mosque
By: Shawn Snow and Kyle Rempfer  

The top Marine was a guest at a Baltimore mosque June 7 where he stopped by for an Iftar dinner — the evening breaking of fast by Muslims celebrating the holy month of Ramadan.

The Commandant of the Marine Corps Gen. Robert B. Neller was invited to the Masjid Bait-us-Samad just over a month ago by Marine veteran Mansoor Shams, who also founded muslimmarine.org.

In an email to the top Marine, Shams said, “By you coming to the mosque, not only will you be sending a powerful message to anyone who is a Muslim in the Marine Corps, but also the rest of the armed forces.”

The way this was framed,he pretty much had no choice BUT to go to the dinner.

Duty call. Once invited by a public invitation,he had no choice but to go or the USMC would have started taking hits from politicians for bias against Marine Muslims. Both of them. At the same time.

Like a lot of other duties,it matters not a snowflake in a blizzard what you want to do,you WILL do your duty.
