"There are, however, Muslim chaplains in the U. S. Military, thanks. It's a religion followed by a fair number of U.S. military personnel."

I'm well aware there are many Muslim chaplains, since a fair number of U.S. military personnel are blacks who've adopted Islam.

IMO, blacks who've adopted Islam as their religion have done so in order so to completely reject "Western" values -- included that of the West's moral "guidebook" -- the Bible.

Personally I find the allegiance of Islamic military personnel in the U.S. Armed Services highly suspect.

Interesting. Your personal misgivings, however, are irrelevant. Muslim military personnel serve in all branches of our military, with the same honor as followers of other religions.

I served, and I'm an atheist. I served honorably and well. My dad, also an atheist, flew B-17s during WWII on combat missions over Germany. I consider him a hero, as did our government in giving him several decorations.

Religion is not something you can equate with patriotism. One may be a patriot and be a follower of any religion. Isn't America great!?

Why? Out of the thousands of Muslim soldiers we have, we have heard of problems with what three?

I can think of one who was arrested for THEFT at his home base, the one with the grenade into the tent and Cpl. Hassoun.

So why do you "suspect" them all?
