The Army is playing this case smart. They aren't breathing one word of his being a Muslim--because it's completely irrelevant.
All they need is the bare facts. Soldier was in war zone, soldier lobs grenade, soldiers kills officer. Veridct: Guilty. Sentence: Death.
The DEFENSE will have to drag the soldier's religion in, saying (a) it's the motivation and (b) it's exculpatory.
And that will fly about as well as a brick Zeppelin.

How is this irrelevant? We have less than 1% Muslims in our military and the one that attacks our own guys just happens to be a Muslim? It's all a coincidence? I don't know about you, but I have a lot of friends and family over there right now, and I don't sleep well thinking they might have enemies sleeping with them in their tents.
