When he is described as "an American Muslim soldier", I am not sure if he was born an American, whether his parents were American, whether his parents were Muslim, whether his brand of Islam is one of the conventional Arabic kinds or whether it's Farrakhan style, etc.

It is my understanding that Arab Muslims sometimes get their American citizenship by agreeing to serve in the armed forces. If true, it is a policy steeped in ignorance in my opinion.
