I'm sorry, you seem to have made a point of using the religion of that piece of slime to somehow degrade the service of the over 4,000 Muslims serving in our military, so perhaps the religion of other pieces of slime should be used to degrade other soldiers of their faith also.
You might be interesting in this Fatwa issued regarding these soldiers -

And you do know don't you, that any fatwa issued by a cleric is as good as worthless if the 'learned opinion' is opposed by a competing sect of islam such as the wahabbe who seek to dominate islam.
May I draw your attention to the last paragraph of my previous comment:
"In a particularly disturbing case, the Islamic Development Bank also granted US$295,000 to the Masjid Bilal Islamic Center, for the construction of the Bilal Islamic Primary and Secondary School in California, in 1999.3 Hassan Akbar, an American Muslim presently charged with a fatal attack on his fellow soldiers in Kuwait during the Iraq intervention, was affiliated with this institution."

While the muslims in the US can't reach agreement between themselves as to where their loyalty lies, caution might be wise.
