HIKIND SAYS EQUATING JEWS, CATHOLICS & EVANGELICAL CHRISTIANS WITH TERRORISTS MUST BE A JOKE

Assemblyman Dov Hikind (D-Brooklyn) is asking officials at the Department of Defense to look into a story that originated at the DailyMail.co, a UK-based media site, which claims that official U.S. Army Reserve training materials list Catholics, evangelical Christians and Orthodox Jews in a “religious extremism” category along with the KKK, Hamas and Al Qaeda.

“When this story was sent to me, I had to look at my calendar to make sure it wasn’t April Fool’s Day,” said Assemblyman Hikind. “This story is so ludicrous that it’s almost beyond belief. Is it possible that anyone would be so out of their minds in this day and age as to equate legitimate religions and peace-loving observant people with terrorist groups? This must be a joke.”

The original story is here:
