You've used my bit of hyperbole to set up a strawman to knock .... the premise being that I only know what I've heard, and that of course there are muslims in the military... well... name one.

I can give you medal of honor winners for Japanese Americans in World War II...

Name for me either:

1. A prominent Muslim American spokesperson who has spoken out against the radicals

2. A muslim unit in the American Army which is fighting terrorists...

You get extra points for both, but I'll bet that you can't name either.

In which case, my argument remains true... the only Muslim in the Army that has been in the news was the the one who attempted to kill his fellow soldiers.

Put up time, snide one.

I've found some articles that indicate there are between 4,000 and 10,000 moslems in the armed forces, and a few years ago the first moslem chaplain was commissioned, in the Navy.

But whether I'm being snide, insulting or anything else, I don't really know how you can be so stupid as to say there was only one moslem in the service because that's the one you heard about on tv. Frankly, I am not especially aware of Jews, Christians, Hindus, or any other group in the military. But if one of them commits a crime I will not assume that is the only one. We have moslems in the service, we have moslem allies throughout the world. That is reality.

By the way you wanted me to identify: "2. A muslim unit in the American Army which is fighting terrorists... "

Please get back to me with evidence that the modern US Military organizes units by any religion, race, etc? Hopefully you know we don't create black units any longer.
