The Islamic Society of North America endorsed Lt. Saleha Jabeen to become the Air Force's first female imam
2020-01-11
[Air Force Times] The Air Force last month commissioned the first female Muslim chaplain in the service.

Second Lt. Saleha Jabeen
...naturalized Indian-American, multi-lingual theologian, social justice advocate, interfaith professional, and former US Army medic who wrote about her journey here...
was commissioned Dec. 18 at the Catholic Theological Union in Chicago by Air Force Chief of Chaplains Maj. Gen. Steven Schaick, the Air Force said in a release Friday.

The Islamic Society of North America
...one of the Muslim Brotherhood’s American front groups. Perhaps someone should look into why they have endorsed this particular lieutenant...
endorsed Jabeen to become the Air Force’s first female imam, a spiritual leader in Islam, the release said.
Female imams are not usually the Moslem Brotherhood’s style...
"Any time we advance religious freedoms, it’s a win for all persons of faith," Schaick said in the release. "This is a big day not just for Muslims, but for persons of all faiths."

While Air Force chaplains are ordained in their own particular faith, they are responsible for counseling and supporting the spiritual needs of all airmen in their units, even if the airman follows a different religion, or no religion at all.

In his remarks at the commissioning, Schaick spoke about the importance of diversity in the Air Force’s chaplaincy.

#4  I'll bet there's scuttle and efforts to do away with christian chaplains as well, right ? I mean who needs those ? There's gotta be a move somewhere to make them all atheist, new-age counselors. Only muslim imaams can remain.

WT actual F, guys ?! That's a hijab ! Do you know what that means ? She's a wahabi sunni, a sect that follows the Al-Durar al-Sunniyya fi al-Radd ‘ala al-Wahhabiyya. That is a book which preaches 'death to all christians and jews is necessary service by muslims' for the Muslim eschaton to happen.

Jesus Christ , people !

#1  DARPA and USAF partnering on development of Centaur jet pilot ejection seat. A non-trivial challenge. Centaur pilots may be limited to trash haulers. More funding dollars desperately needed.
