There is however this - "US arms manufacturer has agreed to remove coded biblical messages stamped into gun sights used by British, US and New Zealand troops in Afghanistan".
"The markings, which blend into the serial number and other product information stamped into the metal, include JN8:12, an apparent reference to John 8:12.

I don't know what the fuss and chest-beating is for. These biblical references have been on Western weapons for decades.

They provide embedded chaplains who were given Officer rankings and they even bless the weapons of destruction. During the Vietnam War, for instance, the Catholic Cardinal Spellman went to Vietnam - amongst other things - to 'bless' the tanks.
Hence the age-old call:

ReplyDeleteSometimes we who are well protected and well-off forget about our fellow humans who are in dire and unjust conditions.
A little wish like yours goes a long way in spreading the need to be aware and kind.
We know we cannot change the discrimination and injustice but knowledge and awareness brings in a little light and insyallah that light will get brighter as it spreads.
You are a small light but an important one.
