"British Army Features Islamic Soldier Praying To Allah In New Commercial"

infowars.com

"A commercial for the British Army featuring a Muslim soldier in prayer is part of a new ad campaign called 'This Is Belonging 2018' that many are ridiculing as politically correct and a weakening of the military’s image and targeted recruiting.

The advertisement is sub-titled 'Keeping My Faith' and depicts a Muslim serviceman of presumably Middle Eastern descent going through the time-consuming Islamic worship rituals of boot removal, hand washing, and kneeling facing Mecca on a prayer mat, while his less pious fellow infantrymen wait patiently and monitor sounds from the battlefield.

Comments are disabled for the video, but its unpopularity is betrayed in a nearly 10:1 ratio of negative to positive ratings at the time of this writing.

And it’s not the only advert welcoming Muslims into the service.

Other commercials in the 'This Is Belonging' series include —

'Can I Practise My Faith In the Army?' — a soldier chronicles his personal jihad as a devout Muslim, unable to relate to peers drinking at the pub and struggling to find a job that would enable him time to pray – until he joined the British military, where one can always find a quiet corner to 'do your prayers.'

'Can I Be Gay In the Army?' — narrated by a soldier who thought his sexual orientation would hinder his social acceptance in the military, but is now 'not afraid to talk about having a boyfriend.'"
