Regardless of any charities or whether or not this guy is a douche bag, the issue here is pandering to Muslims. Regardless of what the guy has tattooed on his body, is it within the rights of anyone to ask him to cover it up? Especially foreighn Muslims in America. JMO, but I feel THEY should be sensitive to OUR feelings. That general from Quatar and the manager of the drop zone are wrong. As for the tattoo, if it is indeed Kafir, then so what. That is THIER word for us. I wish I had a penny for every time I saw a Muslim do something that offended me.

Revenue from training a group of soldiers vs what this guy was gonna be paying - might be as much a "pandering" to the $$$ (profit margin) issue for the drop zone facility as some perceived cultural slight.

Some sort of "We're under contract to train these guys and while they're here we ask that you..." scenario.

I would bet that they will be losing some money now. It may take a while, but that action will cost them (if it has not already).

I understand the money aspect and the contract.
It was still the wrong thing to do in this Country....kafir is not an obscene term.
We, in the US and the military, just like to be accomodating to the point of being stupid and allowing ourselves to be made fools of.
This is a little example but one non the less...."we are offended by our arabic term for non muslims...we are offended because he is proud not to be a muslim ...make him go away".
Like the Christian Chaplains removing their Cross insignia from their uniforms In Saudi...just a little thing, defering to Islam.
The religion of peace as long as we get our way.
