You know what? I've very curious about your post now. Can you support your statement about Muslims being in IDF? Cause I was once engaged to an Israeli soldier. He was not allowed to marry me unless I converted. So, this makes me curious about being Muslim and belonging to IDF. See, if he was not allowed to marry me unless I converted...this tells me that Israel has some pretty strict rules. How can you become an IDF if you are not a Jewish/Israeli national?

Ok for this thread...it is significant. Since you chose to defend Islam under the assumption that your are jewish...I would like to point out that you ignore my post number 190. Also, you still did not answer my questions from the other thread about Muslims having to follow Fatwas from Imaan recognized by Mecca and the Arab Tent.

Generally these thread are chat...yes. But for this thread, the religion you are trying to represent, and the stand you took...this is significant.

On Muslims in the IDF, see:

Druze, members of a small Islamic sect living in Israel's mountains, also serve in the IDF. In recent years, some Druze officers have reached positions in the IDF as high as Major General. Israeli Arabs, with few exceptions, are not obliged to serve, though they may volunteer. Six Israeli Arabs have received orders of distinction as a part of their military service; of them the most famous is a Bedouin officer, Lieutenant Colonel Abd El-Amin Hajer (also known as Amos Yarkoni), that has received the Order of Example. Recently, a Bedouin officer was promoted to the rank of Colonel.

As for not being allowed to marry, this is news to me. In the past there has been no civil marriage in Israel, so this is a situation in which those who would wed might have to do so abroad. Secular Israelis often marry in Cyprus. However, civil marriages are likely to legalized in Israel this year due to a secular party being in the new ruling coalition.
