Update: A variety of groups signed a letter to the Navy asking them to allow the Bibles to remain in the Navy lodges.

Riding the coattails of the Freedom From Religion Foundation, Michael “Mikey” Weinstein has threatened to sue the US Navy if it fails to remove Bibles from its lodging rooms:

If the Navy refuses to pull the Bibles “out of every single room,” said Mikey Weinstein of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, “we are looking to file a federal lawsuit.”

For the record, Weinstein threatens to sue someone at every turn.  It is likely this threat is as empty as virtually all the others.  (He lost the few lawsuits he filed many years ago, further undermining his threats.)

Weinstein’s apparent paranoia was on full display: 

If every room had a Quran, or the Book of Mormon, he said, “we both know there would be blood in the streets.”

Weinstein thinks Christians are trying to take over the world in order to instigate a second Holocaust, so his vitriol and hatred isn’t surprising. He probably can’t explain the lack of “blood in the streets” outside the establishments that do have those books in every room.
