Now Corporal Wassef Ali Hassoun, a US Marine from Utah captured over the weekend, faces a possible beheading similar to the murders of Kim Sun-il and Nicholas Berg as his hometown mosque prays for his safety. Will the same people who raged on the talk shows show the same outrage if a Muslim soldier is killed? Will they still take the actions of these thugs as representative of Islam, even if they kill other Muslims? The answer will reveal what hope American Muslims have left to defining themselves on their own terms.

Hassoun turned up -- he probably was a deserter (at least).

I don't trust Muslims in the US military.

Part of what Chena posted: "A Muslim Army chaplain led several of the mourners in the janazah (funeral) prayers for Captain Humayun Khan, who lured a suicide car bomb away from the men in his charge, joining other Muslim soldiers in giving their life for a country that increasingly bases its opinion of Islam on the sensational and horrific beheading videos that have clogged the Net recently."

I hope and pray that Captain Khan's family never has to read words such as yours. This brave man died fighting for our country, and thru his bravery saved his fellow soldiers. Your selfish and cruel opinion saddens me beyond words.
