If only 2% of US military are Muslims then, in a size of the force deployed in Iraq, there are 4,000 of them who are doing their duty creditably. One person should not nullify that.

There are Muslims and Muslims. There's the happy-go-lucky, two-whiskey Turkish Muslim and there's the brooding Black Muslim, probably born in Detroit. It's best to focus on getting rid of these secret ideological enemies in our ranks and keep the loyal Muslim Americans, many of whom are probably behind enemy lines sneaking up on Saddam, out of it. Some of our Special Forces are indistinguishable from the natives, and were probably born Muslim.

The 13 injured and 1 person killed are bad enough, but the worst damage this creep can do is make us all look at each other like the characters in The Thing. We should show this man and his mentors no mercy, but the loyal must be shown every courtesy. It is important to exclude the innocent just as much as punish the guilty. It is by increasing the contrast in the treatment between these two categories that you send the right message. The day we start punishing good and bad alike, there's no percentage to being loyal.

I remember the young Afghan-American who translated in Kabul for the American army. And the Muslim imam who does daily prayers at Gitmo. But I am curious about black muslims who normally convert in jail ... are ex-cons allowed to join the military? Anyone know?
