You know nothing about who I am or what I do for a living. West Point can't turn away Muslims just because they are Muslims. Do a simple Google search - you'll find out the same thing I did.

And yes, it makes sense to me for the Army to train future officers who just happen to be Muslim. 99.9% of Muslim-Americans aren't terrorists. Army officers take an oath to protect and defend the United States. There is no reason to believe Muslim-American officers take that oath any less seriously than anyone else. Muslim-American army officers can bring language and other skills that most cadets simply don't have. And the army needs trustworthy translators in Iraq and the rest of the Arabic-speaking world.

It is not often that I post merely to give support to fellow poster. However, I find your views on this subject to be crisp and refreshing when compared to the ideological extremes that are all too common to these threads.

Who makes up these statistics? "Muslim-American" is an oxymoron. Islam is a political movement predicated upon world conquest, and is therefore incapable of peaceful coexistence with or within western civilization.

So who's in charge of West Point these days... Benedict Achmed?
