"Black muslims should be not be serving in the US Forces."

I had a black Muslim in my squad when I went through Ranger School 2 years ago. He is now leading American soldiers in Iraq. I have full faith in his abilities to accomplish his mission and bring his men home alive. I'm not sure where you're coming from on this.

A U.S. soldier being described as a Muslim is now in custody for alleged complicity in the grenade and small-arms attack on members of the U.S. Army's 101st Airborne Division encamped in Northern Kuwait, which injured 16 soldiers, 11 seriously.

Religion of peace.

Bump.

I retired from the USAF in 92,I would not have trusted a communist in my squadron. Why trust the enemy now because they are Islamic?

I despise the extreme interpretations of Islam that lead to violence against all non-Muslims. However, not al Muslims are extremists.

We all need to be careful that we do not let our hatred for extremists and extremism spill over to all Muslims. I am totally opposed to Islam and believe it to be a dangerous religion, but I am not sure we should let our emotions run away with our reason.

I am firmly behind our war with Iraq, but as a Christian I have to struggle with God's commandments to love all people. We should be fighting extreme Islam with weapons, but we should be fighting the religion of Islam with the truth of the Gospel of Christ.

Don't bother accusing me of being soft on Islam. I am simply struggling with being a Christian, who is called to love my enemies, and being an American patriot who wants to destroy my enemies.

You're right. Hang in there.
