Trijicon, a weapons contractor in Wixom,Mich., has several multimillion-dollar contracts with the US military to produce rifle sights.

Stamped on the sight base , at the end of the scope’s model number, you can find “JN8:12″, which is a reference to the New Testament book of John, Chapter 8, Verse 12, which reads: “Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.”

It seems the founder of the company was a devout Christian from South Africa. He ordered the bible verses be printed on every sight produced.  What he probably doesn’t know is that proselytizing by US soldiers, stationed in Middle East is strictly forbidden.  Iraq and Afghanistan are Muslim countries and the sights endanger troops.

Mikey Weinstein, founder of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, said:

“It’s wrong, it violates the Constitution, it violates a number of federal laws…..

This plays right into the hands of maniacs who say, ‘Look, it’s a jihad,’”
