Muslims are calling for action against a Tennessee state representative after he said Muslims shouldn't be allowed to serve in the U.S. military.

Rep. Rick Womick made the comments Friday during a conference of conservative activists that focused on the threat of Islamic extremism in America.

Were Nazis allowed in the US forces during WWII?

According to the constitution, the US congress holds sole authority over the composition of the armed forces. However, unlike any other situation, congress can impose on future congresses parameters to this composition, which unless specifically overturned by congress, acts to hinder its authority.

This means that yes, congress could ban Muslims from service in the US military, but they would also have to provide an exemption to themselves to do so, as they have previous put a limitation on their own authority to ban individuals from the military on account of religion.

Well, I do think they should be allowed to hold the targets on the firing range!

Don't miss “American Muslims” on TLC. It is being publicized and looks like propaganda.

Yep, I’m sure the Hasan clan is all in a snit about Womick’s comment.....

He also has two of them on his staff in the White House.

Though I hate that saying, in this instance it is apropos: “He speaks truth to power!”

Take your pick: “The practitioners of the Religion of Pieces,” or “The practitioners of the Religion of the Perpetually Offended.”

As an aside, and as one who--many moons ago while serving in the USAF as a Special Agent for the Office of Special Investigations (OSI)--was responsible for conducting background Security Clearance Investigation, I can't help but wonder how ANY of the Moozies (unless someone, somewhere is exercising some PC sort of waivers based on Orders from on High, like the Pentagon or West Wing?) could qualify for even a routine, Confidential Clearance (which was just about automatic once one completed basic training) much less Secret or Top Secret?

I would think their "Allegiance" (based strictly on their Islamic Faith, which trumps all else) would [automatically] be suspect and bring into question their trustworthiness???

FOLLOW UP to my last post:

Naturally, there is NO WAY IN HELL, that Barack Hussein Obama could also qualify (based on his past associations and conduct) would ever be able to pass a Background Investigation either, yet here he is (with access to the highest levels of Intel and his finger on the button) the Community Agitator in Chief.

Beam me up Scotty!!!

And? Then?

I’m upset about the inaction of 99.99% of Muslims and their failure to forcefully condemn the terrorist acts of Muslims!

You have it backwards, 99.99% want our culture destroyed and us dead.

That is the point of my post.
If there were even a majority of Muslims who were “moderate”, there would be an outcry or some sort of public disapproval of Islamic Terror.
The silence from that quarter communicates approval of the terrorist acts, NOT “moderation”.
And, YES, I am free to draw that conclusion!
