Air Force to allow uniformed members to wear turbans, hijabs, beards in new dress code
2020-02-15
[FoxNews] The United States Air Force updated its official dress code policy this month, in observance of religious practices, to allow military personnel to wear turbans or hijabs as a part of the uniform.
Suicide vest optional
The Air Force released an update to the "Dress and Personal Appearance of Air Force Personnel" code on Feb. 7, now permitting airmen to request a waiver to wear religious apparel while in uniform as long as they are "neat and conservative."
One would think that would rule out diapers on the head
The material used for headwear must resemble the color of the assigned uniform. This includes camouflage, and must be worn in a fashion that presents a "professional and well-groomed appearance."
Osama hold overs? Good luck sealing your M40.

#11  ^ Very right. It was tamiyya, Hassan al Bana, and al Maududi that that bastard Sayyid Qutub channeled when he laid the foundation of parallel conquest by militarized brigades and lawfaring taqiya moderates.

His brother Mohammed Qutub, whom Ayman Zawahiri ardently followed based himself in Saudi Arabia and helped proselytize many of the arabs who were just getting rich. The star pupil of Zawahiri was Osama bin Laden.

People can say "That's a Mad magazine's 6 degrees of separation from an innocuous beard to another possible 9/11 !" But we think it's very credible.

#10  Jsst to complete the circle, the original Al Qaida was devoted to Ibn Tamiyya, and that Islamist fanatic is considered the progenitor of the modern Salafist movement.

#8  I'd like to also mention; the characteristic islamic 'mullet' beard demanded by sunnis is from classic wahhabi teaching. It's the addition of TaqÄ« ad-DÄ«n Ahmad ibn Taymiyyah, the 13th century mullah who added the concept of slaughtering jews and christians as an imperative of 'the faithful'.

We in India have always known this, and men noticed sporting such beards in the military are mentally tagged by their superiors and forever kept from any responsibility which could lead to them getting their hands on a $ 12 million machine of death with weapons of mass destruction.

#6  Of course, in 2018 we outlawed the muslim beard in the Indian Air Force.

Just to spite the motherfuckers.

#5  Sikh pilots often trim their hair and wear the short pagri , much like a bandana. They all have to trim the beards to a certain length because of the mask. Pilots wear the turban only with dress, not in the cockpit. Some, who are very religious will just wear their hair loose under the helmet and go into battle like hippie rockers.

#2  I believe that Indian Air Force allows Sikhs tow wear turbans, even in flight status. Dron can probably verify this or not.

#1  "Well, Col. Awan was walking past the intake and that thing on her head got sucked right in. I guess it was wrapped tight cause the colonel got pulled right in. I think that Rolls Royce turbo fan is a total loss..."
