The Navy will not use a target depicting a Muslim woman holding a gun at a new training range for SEALs in Virginia Beach.
The announcement came hours after the Council on American-Islamic Relations asked the Pentagon to remove the target. A picture of the cardboard target, which shows a woman in a headscarf holding a pistol, was published in The Virginian-Pilot on Tuesday. The image shows verses of the Quran hanging on the wall behind the woman, which also generated criticism from the group.
Nihad Awad, executive director of the Washington-based council, said in the letter to Defense Secretary Leon Panetta dated Friday that the target "is offensive and sends a negative and counterproductive message to trainees and to the Muslim-majority nations to which they may be deployed."


Just saying, WTF this is some crazy shit.[BooHoo]

They'll probably pull any target that looks like a person next. Wouldn't want the military training to "kill people". They'll just have to use the old, black police-type silhouette targets.

What a bunch of tards. If they need to replace the targets of the Muslim women, maybe they could use some with guys in business suits that look an awful lot like politicians.

I guess this just doesn't surprise me at all...

^^^This.

Not surprised...now that being said, it would've been a bit more accurate had you not been able to see her full face and she should've been weilding a krink. Just sayin'. If you're going to do it, damnit...do it right. [Mad]

What? You can't have the police train to shoot at black targets, that's racist.

maybe the seals can cross train on the new border patrol policy...

Better question .......Why the heck is this public info? Shouldn't a SEAL shoot house be a little more secret ?

Well yeah, how do you think it got through the metal detectors?

I had this big long rant but then thought this is our modern society along with these ridiculous petty little things that one group gets offended writes a letter and get some press and politicians cave over fear of offending a group that might come back calling them racist.

My opinion Islam is a barbaric sexiest religion that really doesn't belong in a free society.

Why is this even exposed to the public as was mentioned above?

We used to shoot the "white, middle aged, business man targets" or what I liked to call "shoot your partner" targets.

The fact that most of us noticed that the young woman in the photo does not have her finger on the trigger (good trigger discipline) means that we already had more time to examine the target than you get in many real life shooting situations.

Unless the target is moving and you are moving, you are doing it wrong.

Be safe.

I was thinking this very same thing! Keep the female target but train the SEALs to bust through the door, make some sort of "Oh my gosh she has a gun!!" noise, run away, and lock the door.

Hell yeah, there are a few likenesses that I could imagine being very popular.

[sniper7]

this just in, Seals can only shoot white on white targets. no color of any kind allowed on the paper except white.

[Ah Pook]

They can use images of my ex-wife. I just want video.

Islam is the enemy, get it through their goddamn heads!
