U.S. Soldiers In The Middle East Forced To Observe Sharia Law During Ramadan According to recent reports, United States soldiers serving in the Middle East are now being required to follow sharia law during the month of Ramadan. Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar. The Muslim ritual lasts for 30 days, and is set to disrupt the routines of many of our soldiers. Reports indicate that personnel will be required to make changes to their daily livesincluding eliminating all coffee from their diet for a month. Just is just one small change of many that our men and women in uniform will have to bear at the hands of the Obama administration. That change is minuscule compared to other restrictionslike reading the Bible publicly. And Navy officials are requiring personnel to dress in traditional garb while they are off-base during the holy month. Reports indicate that the Navy is demanding that men wear long-sleeved shirts and trousers, and women wear sleeved blouses with pants or skirts that cover their knees. These changes are not required by Bahraini authorities. What do you think? Is this absolutely absurd?
