Air Force Academy's Muslim Cadets Denied Accommodation During Ramadan: Allegation
 
The Gazette (Colorado Springs, Colo.) | By Mary Shinn
Published March 04, 2025 at 9:16am ET

As Muslims around the world mark the month of Ramadan, some cadets at the Air Force Academy may need to push through rigorous physical training without food or water or forgo a few days of the holy fast.

In recent years, Muslim cadets have been excused from physical training to allow them to participate in Ramadan, said a cadet, who spoke to The Gazette on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisal.

 
The cadet said he planned to fast, forgoing food and water from sun-up to sundown, during the physical training event following the academy’s decision.

“I would rather pass out than not participate,” he said of the importance of Ramadan. The holy month started Friday evening and lasts through March 29. It follows the lunar calendar and does not have set dates.

Were they hoping to be able to rape female cadets of the book? :whistle:

I very much hope this is true. How much accommodation are Infidels given in Islamic countries? other than being raped, tortured, and killed?

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists

Wars do not accomodate religion.  It's everyone kill, or be killed, all the time. 

We need a secular military.  Otherwise, the DoD needs to find boatloads of fish to serve Catholics on Fridays during Lent.

I wish they would just accomodate nobody.

Exactly, will they demand to be allowed to unroll their prayer rugs in the middle of an assault?

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

There should not BE any "muslim cadets".
Not at the Air Force Academy.
Nor at any other of the military academies.
