Weinstein's organization also discovered that Chaplain Waite is the author of an anti-Islamic book that calls in to question whether he can provide religious support to all faiths. Details about Waite's book, which was first published click here in January on the website Military.com led to further investigation into Waite's tenure as a chaplain in the US Navy.
Waite is the author of "Islam Uncovered," which holds that the Muslim faith is itself culpable for the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, Military.com reported.
"Undoubtedly our world will experience additional terrorist attempts or strikes all in the name of Allah. Some of these attacks may occur within the borders of our own nation by the remaining cell groups interspersed and hiding among the Muslim population of the United States. My words may make a number of Muslims in this country and abroad very uncomfortable. To them I would say, 'Deal with it!' The suspicion that you encounter is merely a consequence to your own belief system. ..." Waite's book says. "...Should Islam be immune from attack because it calls itself a religion? If Adolf Hitler called Nazism a religion, would we be speaking German today? Evil is evil, no matter what nomenclature it hides under."
Waite is also the author "For God & Country: One Chaplain's Perspective of War and the Life Lessons Learned," published in 2005. Waite portrays himself in the book as of the many Americans compelled to serve our country in the wake of the 9/11. According to the book, Waite was the Command Chaplain for an Air Force Reserve unit when he got "the overwhelming urge that God had something else" for him to do, and then contradicts himself later in the book by writing that his return to active duty "had nothing to do with external circumstances in [his] life at the time."
