In February 2009 , Colonel Kimberly Toney , commander of the USAF 's 501st Combat Support Wing sent an email with a link to a religious-themed web video about the life story of Nick Vujicic . The sponsoring site of the video , 4marks.com , is a Catholic website . USAF service members who looked at the site after following the emailed link complained that the site contained criticism of President Barack Obama . Weinstein said the incident represented a textbook case of improper religious influence and added , " There 's a pervasive pattern of constitutional abuse when you have a wing commander who sends out a direct , proselytizing e-mail with a link to a Web site that slanders the president of the United States . " Following the Fort Hood shooting in November 2009 , the religious right American Family Association issued the statement " No More Muslims in the US Military " , which explicitly stated that Muslim military enlistees be barred from military service in the United States armed forces on the grounds that " ... just as Christians are taught to imitate the life of Christ , so Muslims are taught to imitate the Prophet in all things . Yesterday , Nidal Malik Hasan was simply being a good Muslim . " Weinstein 's denunciation of the AFA position as " bigoted , racist , and vile " was featured prominently by Hatewatch , the official blog of the Southern Poverty Law Center civil rights organization
