Oh, honestly...

Britain has a long tradition of Muslims fighting in our armed forces- I'm sure that the five Indian Muslims who recieved Victoria Crosses in WW1 and 2 would have words for those who questioned their loyalty to Queen and Country.

What utter nonsense.

Check the statistics about the percentage of Muslims in the UK - 1.6 million out of 60 million.

Really!!

Kind of a racist comment, don't you think? Are you saying that NO muslim can be a loyal citizen? Do you apply the same standard to US military?.....only white christians can be trusted? The guys been there since '62 and I am sure has been thoroughly checked out.

The UK goes a step closer to being a muslim country, with muslim armed forces.

The military opened its first permanent Islamic prayer center, the Masjid al Da'wah, at the Norfolk, Va., Naval Air Station in 1997…….Interest in hiring Muslim chaplains escalated shortly after the Persian Gulf War in 1991. With Islam the fastest-growing religion in America, the services are moving to accommodate more followers.

I think that when you accuse a man with a 29 year career in the military of treason with absolutely no evidence, he should face no punishment if the charges are unfounded and he takes action to defend his honor.
