Washington – The Pentagon is currently classifying ultra-Orthodox Jews as “Religious Extremists” in presentations being shown by U.S. Army Reserve recruiters to potential enlistees.

MAILONLINE (http://bit.ly/16IHUF1) is reporting that, in a slide entitled “Religious Extremism” taken directly from the presentation, ultra-Orthodox Jews are listed alongside Al Quaeda, the Nation of Islam, the Klu Klux Klan, Hamas, and a host of others, including Evangelical Christians, Catholics, and Mormons, as potential threats.

The presentation goes on to define “religious extremism” as “beliefs and actions” that are “far” removed from the “ordinary.”

At one point in the presentation the Pentagon warns that “extremism” is on the rise and one of the military’s biggest concerns going forward.

Citing a Southern Poverty Law Center report as evidence, the Pentagon lists; economic dislocation, conspiracy theories, a changing racial make-up, and another four years under a black president as reasons for the spike in extremism.
