Sharior Rahman, Air Force chaplain shoplifter

| December 6, 2017

Stars & Stripes reports that Air Force Captain (Chaplain) Sharior Rahman, an imam at Ramstein Air Base and one of only a few Muslim clerics in the Air Force, was convicted of stealing from a German store and sentenced to forfeit $3,000 of his pay for one month but did not dismiss him from the service.

Whether Rahman will remain in the chaplaincy with a general court-martial conviction still needs to be determined by the organization that endorsed him as a military chaplain, officials said.

The charges stem from a shopping trip last year at an Edeka store in Homburg, where Rahman and his wife, Sanam, a civilian, shoplifted about 70 euros worth of groceries, according to court testimony. A second shoplifting involving the couple occurred two weeks later at the Exchange on Ramstein, though no criminal charges were filed in the latter incident.

According to the article, he and his wife had a well-rehearsed plan to buy some items and smuggle other stolen items out of the stores. If he had tried that in Saudi Arabia, he’s be missing one of his sticky mitts now.

Muslim privilege. Get caught being a sneak thief multiple times get to stay in and and no confinement or loss of rank.

Between this guy and our California basketball sneak thiefs leftists must be pooping blood by now.

WTF is wrong with the Air Farce? This muslim scum is a “chaplain”? forfeit 3000.00 of ONE months pay? How much does that prick get paid? Pay him with one round of .45 covered in pig fat right between the eyes imho!!

A prior-enlisted Captain, maxed out for base pay (over 18 yeasr of service) is $7,026.00 per month. Add in about $250 or so tax-free BAS per month and whatever the OHA is if he’s off base.

bombstopr

Fake news. Everyone knows Islam is a religion of peace and a muslim would never do such a thing.

Club Manager

An ordinary Muslim might but certainly not a devout Inman, a man of the Koran, a man of high honor, a man who quietly stirs Jihad and gives new meaning to fox in the hen house. Tell me it ain’t so.
If Private Snuffy got caught doing the same thing he would be history after getting out of the brig. When are we ever going to wise up.

jonp

It doesn’t count if the crime is done to an infidel.

Sapper3307

Can his disrupt a security clearance or be considered conduct unbecoming?

Retired Grunt

Any court martial conviction is conduct unbecoming. What gets me is that now, lacking dismissal, this officer will, by law, be granted an honorable discharge. There are only two types of discharge for officers, honorable or dismissal.

desertdweller

How can a demonic, scumsucking THIEF get an honorable?

Michael Yates

Anyone from any other religion would have been booted out of the service but this piece of crap stays just because he represents a cult that is protected.

I am truly ashamed of what my Air Force has become.

Eden

You and me, both.

Club Manager

Reaffirms my decision of accepting the Army warrant was a smart one. It also raised the IQ of both branches.

Wilted Willy

Off with his Head!

FuzeVT

It should be his hands, yes?

I agree, however, with what jonp said earlier – it doesn’t count if the crime is against a Kafir.

A Proud Infidel®™

WTF, a CHAPLAIN caught shoplifting and he doesn’t get booted? Oh wait, he’s from a speeecial protected victim class.

Mr. Pete

WTF, a CAPTAIN caught shoplifting 70 euros, in a planned crime.

Hard to live on a Captain’s income?

I had plenty of spare cash to buy firearms!

FuzeVT

Not that we want this guy buying firearms. . .

Veritas Omnia Vincit

Stealing from infidels isn’t really stealing after all infidels only exist to provide the followers of the prophet with a better life.

Islam is a parasitic disease and it’s time we found the fortitude to exercise the cure.

desertdweller

You got that one exactly RIGHT!!

RetiredDevilDoc8404

A CHAPLAIN? Stealing? And he gets to stay on AD with a General Court Martial conviction? On what planet is this okay? Oh, that’s right, we’re on the kinder, gentler, politically correct one now. Have to let Mr. Aloha Snackbar slide. Toss his ass out, and if he follows sharia even a little, then let him and his sticky fingered wife wife their butts with a hook. There’s no justification for an them to be stealing groceries, none, la, nada, zip, zero.

Non Cedo Ferio

To me a thief is a thief. If it’s one thing I’ve learned is that they come in all shapes and sizes and all religious stripes. So I’m not gonna go off on the Muslim angle . To me it’s a case of a service member not living up to the values of the service. That in and of itself should be the sad part of all this just sayin

desertdweller

Values of the service? You really think this P.O.S. “values” infidel service? send him to Guantanamo! for LIFE! or SHOOT HIM! whichever is cheapest!

Sj

Oh come on. Iman’s gotta have some ribs and a pork butt now and then and they can’t just go buy one you know.

Stout

His career is basically over. I’m sure this won’t be last we hear of him with the light sentence. When I was a CQ runner in Germany on a weekend there always seemed to be someone caught shoplifting. Definitely not something that led to being kicked out of AD.

11B-Mailclerk

Were those offenders you observed -commissioned officers- ?

I am old school. The higher the rank, the -harder- should be the spank.

sj

Word^^^

Graybeard

^^^This^^^

Stout

No these were enlisted soldiers stealing and I was lower enlisted myself answering the phone and getting CQ to call 1SG in. Again, I think the reprimand that the officer here will get in his file will be career ending.

Mr. Pete

Yes, agreed. I was an officer. I would and did and still do demand the highest standards of personal conduct.

Fry’um.

Hondo

(sigh) A Chaplain. Shoplifting.

Talk about someone who should be held to a higher standard – and, accordingly, hammered harder if judged and found wanting.

Between this and the Bergdahl case (and a number of others recently), I’m really thinking that perhaps it’s time for some major changes to the military justice system. Maybe it’s time to go to a two-person panel to preside over courts-martial – one of which is a officer or NCO senior to the accused who is not a military judge. And both must agree on any sentence.

As one or more of our military JAG officer commenters has noted, one of the primary purposes of the military justice system is to promote and support military discipline. Many military judges seem to have forgotten that.

11B-Mailclerk

Arguably, the maintenance of good order and discipline is the -only- purpose.

And if not the only one, then it is absolutely the first and foremost.

USMCMSgt (Ret)

Muzzles gotta muz. Stealing is in his blood. The book he follows and professes says it’s okay.

Fakeem.

Forest Green

A little sharia law is in order.

Was the Class 6 store on their shopping itinerary?

Ex-PH2

Hmmm…. he’s got a good paycheck, a steady job,and he thinks it’s okay to steal from a shop owner.
No, it isn’t okay. He’s a thief. Fire his ass now.

Fyrfighter

but Ex, as folks pointed out above, he’s a muzzie, and he stole from an infidel.. according to the book of his pedophile prophet, that’s all good…

Claw

“he’s got a good paycheck,”

He’s described in the S&S article as being a former Navy medic with nearly 20 years of service, so:

03E over 18 years draws $7,026.00 a month just in base pay alone.

But yet felt he/she just had to steal a jump rope and fake eyelashes from the BX.

So he’ll probably shuffle papers at the Base Chapel and keep on stealing the other Padres sacramental wine for another year and then quietly put in his retirement paperwork and draw half of an 03E’s retirement pay for the rest of his life.

Sad state of affairs.

Ex-PH2

Is there any way to wipe that smirk off his face, short of using a dogging bat?

He should have ordered his Chaplain’s Assistant to do it.

“Integrity first!” Just ain’t what it used to be…

For that matter, the other core values don’t seem to have had an effect on him either.

Skippy

Crap !!!!!!

This is the craziest thing I’ve read this year
No surprises that he is still in

😂 🤣 😅 😀 😆 😃 😡

OWB

An officer in USAF allowed to remain on AD after being convicted of shoplifting in a foreign country? Uhhh, that just ain’t right. There are no extenuating circumstances.

desertdweller

They threw a Christian Chaplain out for using the name of Jesus!! I say disband the Air Farce, the traitorous, ignorant, despicable morons have no place in this society!! imho

Berliner

He had to steal. How else could he afford to live on a base pay of $7,026 a month as an 0-3 with 18 years prior enlisted service. That is only $84,312 a year without rations allowance. Can some compassionate individual set up a gofundme account?

I’m sure they live in government quarters, which are probably inadequate to their needs and desires. They are only a couple steps from creating cardboard signs and both he and his wife occupying a couple street corners.
Here’s an example of one sign I’ve seen that works pretty good:
“Jay Z and Beyoncé are having twins. I need money for a gift. Please Help!”

HMC Ret

The best street signs I’ve seen were also the most honest:

“Help I need money for beer.”

Fyrfighter

A dude that works a corner in my district has a sing that says “too ugly to prostitute, to honest to steal”.. gotta give him credit for that one

Off with his hand, or head. Either one.

Air Force Chaplain (and his wife) shoplifting out in town and at the Exchange.

— sigh —

Well, you can bet that this wasn’t the first time that they’ve done this.

This was just the first time that they’ve been caught.

Stout

They could have been motivated by LiAngelo Ball and his UCLA teammates. Ball’s dad created a multi million dollar empire and he shoplifted, in China no less. Ball empire trying to get multi billion dollar deal from Nike or Adidas or equivalent now.

Every time I read about the Air Force these days, I cringe and I say to myself “What the hell happened to the Air Force I was so proud to serve in some 40 years ago ?”
Is the liberal social engineering agenda leadership failure the whole reason for all this buffoonery I keep reading and hearing about ?
ME THINKS SO

Dustoff

Was at Ft Sam for the Medical NCO course back in the 80s. One of the cadre there told us a story of a General Officer (not sure if he was a physician or MSC branch) anyway the General’s wife had sticky fingers and apparently help him (the General) to achieve an early retirement.

I hope the Pork sausages and Oscar Meyer no nitrate bacon he absconded with were wrapped in a plain brown paper wrapper like the girlie magazines I used to get through the mail.

Carlton G. Long

I would have expected this sort of judicial tomfoolery when Ashy and the Kenyan were in charge…can’t Chaos correct this?

Hondo

If the USAF’s regs are anything like the Army’s, the USAF can correct this w/o SECDEF involvement. One of the GOs in his chain-of-command should be able to ask AFHQ to convene a “show cause” administrative board to consider his suitability for continuation on active duty.

CM

What the fuck is happening in my Air Force…

Graybeard

What we are seeing, IMHO, is the consequence of a difference in theology.

Jews and Christians have the commandment as “You shall not steal.”

The Disciples of The Great Pedophile have the commandment as “You shall not steal from another Muslim (unless he is apostate) but everyone else is fair game.”

Tom Huxton

So, what charges did the wife face? Or, did he blame this on the wife?

Just An Old Dog

Back in the late 90’s I had a kid in my 81’s Platoon who had sticky fingers. He was bought up in foster care and I guess he figured since he had nothing growing up he could steal to make up for it. They caught him in the PX trying to walk out wearing 4 jackets/sweatshirts he didn’t pay for with CDs in the pockets. It turns out he’d been lifting shit from the platoon as well. After a SCM and a few months in the brig he got a BCD.
Fast forward to 2011 and he sends me a friend request on face book. I’m a bit hesitant but accept and see how he is doing. He has a family and is a union steel worker and doing well. He posts up stuff about how he served in the Corps but doesn’t go over the top. One guy that was in the platoon put him on blast a few years back and called him a thieving piece of shit he won’t ever forgive.
The thread got deleted but JS didnt get all crazy about it.
This past summer when there was the big flood down in Texas he and a few other vets loaded up their trucks and went down and helped out for a week or so.
This past November he messaged me and asked me if it was OK if he put up his Boot Camp graduation photo on his Facebook Profile Picture.
I told him that even though he had gotten the boot he still had earned the title Marine, and all he had done since he had gotten out, Being a hard worker, A good Husband and a Great Dad to his kids was an example that reflected what a Good Marine would do, and I was proud of the good man that stupid kid had turned out to be, and he would always be a Marine in my book, as long as he didn’t bullshit about his service.
He said he has been living with the guilt of that BCD for 20 years.

Sj

👍imho, you done good. Sounds like a gent that really did atone. Any of us that haven’t stepped on our cranks, to some degree?

OWB

Sounds good, JAOD. Quite good.

Growing up as he did, it is entirely conceivable that no one ever taught him the limits of acceptable behavior. Until the Corps. Can’t do anything about past bad behavior, but living right today and tomorrow goes a long way toward balancing the scales. It’s easier with a few good mentors around. Thanks, JAOD.

did he steal anything kosher or pork?
