#1 How about telling them that they are free to get stuffed move to Saudi Arabia?

A Muslim-American soldier, who declined to be named due to fears of persecution, said he was "ashamed" and "horrified" by the writings on the gunsights of weapons he used during deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan.

He should better keep his shock and horror for events like Fort Hood.

#3 The (night) shot that was heard around the world.

The number of suicide bombers is going to, well, explode. pity is, regardless of how one feels about the scripture on scopes, the islamists are going to be mad enough to, well, explode.

Regardless of the intentions of the scope company, American and other western soldiers have been placed firmly into a greater danger than ever.

#4 Regardless of the intentions of the scope company, American and other western soldiers have been placed firmly into a greater danger than ever. They never liked us anyway. Next controversy will be about firemen wearing their suspenders to form a cross on their books, LIKE CRUSADERS.

#6 It is a sign of great weakness that we are even listening to this nonsense.

#7 Not sure how a few alphanumerics at the end of a part number counts as proselytizing. Most of the offended ones are either lawyers or illiterate anyway. Certainly none of the offended would ever look at the part number unless they were so directed and had the meaning explained. This whole thing is bogus. If the offended ones would focus their "anger" on the Muslim extremists who keep killing innocent people, then there would be no need for "crusader" weapons to kill said extremists.

#8 Well, I am glad that there is nothing else about us the Muslim groups are mad about. Maybe if they will go and burn down a girls' school or blow up a kindergarten, they will feel better.

Perhaps I should etch "JN8:12" on my shotgun, in case they should want to come and discuss the matter further.

#11 I am here at the SHOT Show in Vegas. I will go by the Trijicon booth and thank them for pissing off these whining wankers. And try to get a decent discount on on of their ACOGs, suckers cost muchly.

#13 Keep haring about Muslims saying that Jesys is recognized as a prophet but when "Jesus" verses pop up any where their panties get into a wad. But what's new...

#17 Thes *&^#ers don't mind beheading innocent people, restricting religious beliefs, suppressing women, strapping bombs to kids, or blowing up planes but they do mind religious inscriptions on scopes. Screw em.

Like this kind of thinking ed. We should also start an airlines called "When Pigs Fly" and make sure there is an oinker on every flight.

#20 I must have missed the outcry from the athiests over the shouting of 'Allan's Snack-bar' by the splodey-dopes. And New Zealand can p!ss off, I used to think better of them.

#22 I'm sure that if there was some sura engraved on them, they'd have no problem with it whatsoever.

I think sura 5:81 might work. Had they believed in GOD, and the prophet, and in what was revealed to him herein, they would not have befriended them. But many of them are evil.

Yeah, I know, it needs to have something about everybody else being the sons of pigs and monkeys, and how fabulous Islam is, blah blah blah...but since they keep telling us all these guys named Abdul and Mohammed aren't representative of oh-so-peaceful Islam, wouldn't this be appropriate for these tender, easily inflamed flowers?

(Yeah, I know. Especially coming from a woman who walks around without a male escort and has flashed ankle from time to time....)

#26 In light of this, shouldn't Dwight Eisenhower be officially declared an unperson?

There's reason to believe that the very mention of his name would be offensive to Muslims and provoke additional attacks on western targets bot military and civilian.

His choice of words in official statements and literary works was certainly highly insensitive, if not implicitly islamophobic, equating "Islam" with the notion of "Evil" and "Enemy".

#27  SELECT * From [Angers_Muslims]

And the Geek of the Week award goes to...BP!

I'm torn between laughing at that and outrage over this tempest in a part number. I can't think of another example from history where organized murderers had such tender sensibilities.
