What the military needs to learn is that for 99% of Muslims, their "religion" comes first. Their commitment to their country is not an issue for them, as it does not exist for this country. So they should not be in the military, period.

The majority of American Muslims are not affiliated with a mosque and many, especially Iranians, fled Islamic tyranny. What I am concerned about is that Muslims do possess a strong sense of solidarity with one another and that in a showdown in the Middle East even irreligious Muslims will side with their fellow Muslims against the infidels. Iranians may be an exception -- they fled Islamic tyranny plus they dislike Arabs and Pakistanis anyway. On second thought, the children of Iranian refugees may disagee with their parents -- Cuban refugees are strongly anti-Communist and pro-Republican, their children, born here, less so.
