Anti-Islam T-Shirt Goes On Sale At U.S. Military Base, Outrage Follows

An anti-Islam T-shirt was on sale at the Fort Carson military base in Colorado.

According to the Colorado Springs Independent, the offensive shirt was being sold as recently as Nov. 2.

The clothing featured the Statue of Liberty wearing an Islamic burqa with the message: "Don't Let This Happen To America." The star and crescent symbol of Islam appeared on the famous torch.

The T-shirt was sold at a kiosk inside a mall outside the post exchange on the U.S. Army base, notes The Associated Press.

The Army and Air Force Exchange Service told the vendor 'Merica Apparel to stop selling the shirt because it violated military rules against merchandise with religious or political messages.

The Military Religious Freedom Foundation told AP that one of its clients had filed a complaint about the T-shirt.
