How many convert to Islam while in the military. Particularly, how many converted during the Gulf War?

I believe he converted prior to entering the military, which makes me wonder if the motive of his entry into the military was to subvert and attack it from within. Perhaps someone else suggested the idea to him to attack the country by entering the military and he was ready and willing to do so.

I can't say about the military, but my sister used to work for the FL prison system and she said virtually 100% of black inmates convert to Islamic upon entering the system because it gives them more privledges. It allows them to goof off in the name of an accepted religion.

John Muhammad converted to Islam long before the Gulf War.

(Ex-wife Carol Williams) "said Muhammad converted to Islam after divorcing her 17 years ago, about the time he joined the Army."

Muhammad (then Williams) served at the Fort Lewis Army Base outside Tacoma, in 1985.

But it wasn't until April 2001, that the former John Allen Willams legally changed his name to John Allen MUHAMMAD)

Another, possibly related story:

No one was ever charged in a triple slaying on August 1, 1984, but police suspect Fuqra. The victims were Lela Nevaskar, an Indian national who was in the United States as part of a government-sponsored health project, and her sister and brother-in-law. The three were murdered in a suburb of Tacoma, Wash., during a spate of firebombings of Hindu and Hare Krishna temples in Seattle, Denver, Philadelphia, and Kansas City, Mo. Police found news reports of the Tacoma murders from Seattle papers among Fuqra files seized in a later case…

I wonder if any of the Fuqra trails in the 1984 Tacoma murders lead to Fort Lewis, where John Muhammad was serving in 1985?

Does anyone know if Muhammad (as Williams) converted to Islam before or after being stationed at Fort Lewis?

Post here to the thread if you'd like to be on or off the Sniper Muhammad ping list.

I wish I could remember the source but I remember reading after the Gulf War that 212 American military personnel had converted to Islam while over there.

I know of at least 2 posts by our Balkan watchers about GIs who converted to Islam in Kosovo by Albanians now serving in Afghanistan! Kosovo is an al-Qaeda strong hold.

I've heard there's quite a bit of Muslim proselytizing
going on in prisons. The recidivists among these could
really leave a mark for their newfound Religion of Peace (TM)!
