Coded references to Biblical passages are inscribed on gunsights widely used by the US and British military in Iraq and Afghanistan, it has emerged. The markings include "2COR4:6" and "JN8:12", relating to verses in the books of Corinthians II and John. Trijicon, the US-based manufacturer, was founded by a devout Christian, and says it runs to "Biblical standards". But military officials in the US and UK have expressed concern over the way the markings will be perceived. The company has added the references to its sights for many years, but the issue surfaced only recently when soldiers complained to an advocacy group. John 8:12 reads: "When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, 'I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."
Interesting, I wonder how the Middle East will perceive this, given that these rifles are being heavily used in two controversial wars in Muslim nations at the moment. I also wonder what the media reaction would be if it were messages from the Koran that were inscribed on them?
