The same question was asked about Japanese-Americans, German-Americans and Italian-Americans during World War 2. The blood of thousands of brave men from these groups who died fighting for America answered the question then, to the disgrace of those who doubted their loyalty. Anyone who asks a similar question today concerning other groups needs to remember that history before making any assumptions.

So, then you're saying there are thousands of brave muslim americans dying, fighting FOR america?
If I remember the numbers correctly, there are less than 4,000 muslim soldiers in all of the U.S. Military at present..
And at least one of them rolled a grenade into his commander's tent..
Another "disappeared" and was supposedly "kidnapped", and then ended up in.. Lebanon??
Weren't there some at Gitmo? Wasn't one of them (or was it 2 ? ) caught taking classified material out of the prison facilities there? Didn't one of them take classified docs to Syria/Lebanon on a CD?

It seems that even those who are "willing" to serve america and "defend" it's freedom have some serious issues as to where their loyalties lie..
Their enlisting seems to be more for an opportunity to act as a double agent than a defender of freedom and democracy..

I may be wrong, but I don't quite see the parrallel between Muslim-americans and German/Italian/Japanese-Americans..
Like you said, they proved their loyalties by fighting and dying for this country...

The question was answered, and the doubt was dispelled, but it is NOT now and was NOT then disgraceful to question and doubt, for there were then (and there are now) sufficiently weighty reasons for such doubts and questions.
