Topeka ? The founder of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation is threatening a lawsuit against the U.S. military over anti-Semitic materials on a Fort Leavenworth Web site.

Michael Weinstein said Wednesday that the foundation was meeting with attorneys to pursue legal action over three Bible study lessons on the post chaplain’s Web site, which were removed after he and others complained. He said the lessons pushed Christianity and blamed Jews for acts of terrorism, including the crucifixion of Jesus and the persecution of other early Christian leaders.

Weinstein said the foundation isn’t saying soldiers and officers can’t practice their faith or have discussions about issues. What is wrong is for the government to post such documents on a public Web site that suggests such views about Jews or other Christians are acceptable.

“This is not at all a Christian-Jewish issue. This is a constitutional right or wrong issue,” he said.

Weinstein said the materials were an example of a larger problem. He said a lawsuit is necessary to stop “widespread” violations of religious freedom in the military.

“It is hardly at only Leavenworth. It is all over the U.S. military,” Weinstein said. “We are going to have to do this, because letter writing and phone calls aren’t enough.”

Fort Leavenworth removed Bible study materials from the chaplain’s Web site, while information about services for various religious groups remained Wednesday afternoon.

Janet Wray, spokeswoman at Fort Leavenworth, said officials were assessing the materials.

Officials at the Department of Army headquarters had no immediate comment. Wray said Fort Leavenworth officials planned to issue a statement later in the day.

Weinstein said he wasn’t surprised that Fort Leavenworth removed the materials, which had been posted for several years.

“Whenever we catch them, they stretch the crime tape and say, ‘Move on; there’s nothing to see here,”‘ Weinstein said. “It’s not a remedy.”

Weinstein, who is Jewish, said he has received calls about Fort Leavenworth from people with various religious backgrounds. Many feel they are being coerced by higher-ranking officers to attend religious gatherings or share similar religious beliefs – or face lesser career opportunities, he said.

Pedro Irigonegary, a Topeka attorney, said he was reviewing the situation and gave no timetable for filing a lawsuit.

“Our United States Armed Forces, by law, are required to remain neutral, as far as religion is concerned,” he said. “We are diligently reviewing all the facts to determine what if any steps are going to be necessary to take to protect that neutrality.”

Irigonegary described the documents on the Web site as “very offensive.”

“I’m concerned when I read documents that attempt to describe our Jewish population as the ‘Jewish problem,”‘ Irigonegary said. “It’s simply not right.”

It wouldn’t be the first time Weinstein has sued the military. He filed a lawsuit in 2005 against the Air Force for allegedly imposing evangelical Christianity on academy cadets in violation of their constitutional rights to religious freedom.

Fort Leavenworth is home of the Army’s Combined Army Center, including the Command and General Staff College, where hundreds of officers receive formal training each year. It also is home to many schools and centers that are intricately involved in the writing of doctrine related to the fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Lt. Gen. David Petraeus commanded the post before he was tapped by President Bush earlier this year to lead coalition forces in Iraq.
