Many of the first "Green Berets" were Poles, Czechs, Romanians, etc that escaped the Iron Curtain, and hated the Soviets with a passion. We welcomed them with open arms for their native language skills, and their knowledge of their former country's customs and terrain. Perfect for behind enemy lines guerrilla warfare.

Great point. I'm sure there are a lot of Muslims who are not in favor of the Islamic religious terrorism of this fundamentalist sect. Give them a chance to prove themselves and do something about it.
