I mean, yeah, it makes sense.
Was there any specific reason it wasn't provided before?
Seems fair enough to me. Islam is the second largest faith in the world, with 25% of the global population being Muslims. Really no reason why it shouldn't be accomodated, so long as other major religions are already being accommodated.
Can't wait for people to use this for "LOOK EUROPE IS BECOMING THE MIDDLE EAST" They should do it for all religions with a decent size in the armed forces
The Canadian forces started doing this last year IIRC.
If there is a sizeable portion of thr army practicing Islam there is no reason why islamic clerics cannot be in to attend to the spiritual needs of those troops. I see no issue here.
As long as they don't get the imams from the local wahhabist or salafist sect, there's nothing wrong with this.
As long as they can cast miracles like any other cleric.

Miracles, I presume? Yes, I know.
woah nice Is Canada bad, like legit bad, at anything?
We're bad at taking care of our Natives.
I'm sure someone in the AfD's head exploded already.
damn, their offensive spells are certainly impressive
Nothing wrong with this. US Military has Chaplin's and/or prayer services for just about any main stream faith imaginable. Infact, norse paganism is actually making a resurgence in the Navy. I'm surprised Germany doesn't already have military imams. Military service is Germany is pretty shitty to begin with, if German Muslims are willing to deal with that to serve their country they have every right to the same religious accommodations christians do.
Even the US military has chaplains for different faiths including Islam.
That's putting it mildly.
