Seems overblown. I can see why the military wouldn't want them on there, and manufacturer probably should have mentioned it, but I don't think any laws were broken.

And it seems Al Queda didn't learn about it until now, so the article might become self-fulfilling in terms of outrage generated over the markings.

Finally, there's the whole irony of putting the words of Christ on a military scope. I guess this may be the scope of choice for the 'Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition" folks.
