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.

Williams -

You're still hung up on the trivia - manfully trying to twist one statement, while ignoring my argument. The point is, and was,

Where is the visible symbol of Muslim-American patriotism? You accuse me of making assumptions while making your own. You accuse me of saying that they're all bad, but you - without offering any proof - assume they're all good

I've shown where, in WWII, the Japanese-Americans made a dramatically visible effort to show their loyalty. I asked you to some me some demonstration of a similar effort by Muslims... I'm still waiting... until then, my assumptions - with ONE example of a negative - have more statistical probability than your assumptions with zero examples....

Simple, eh? Show me your examples of Muslim-American patriotism.... don't bother with more assumptions... Why, for example is a Muslim Chaplin in the Navy a symbol of patriotism?

Links, please. tick, tick, tick...... I'm weary of this argument, and don't wish to carry it farther, but your assumptions that my assumptions are wrong, are unproven, and your casual sweeps of the hand with nothing to back them up are irritating.....
