Can Moslems Serve?

Yes, but they're prone to foot-faulting. And don't even get me started on their volleying abilities.

[shekkian]

Send them to Korea, if it comes to that.

[Persia]

what % is that 3 cases of thousands upon thousands who have loyally served

0.3 percent?
not real convincing.

[findingtruth]

If Moslems can't serve because they're really working for Islam, then you might as well say Jews can't serve because they're really working for Israel, and Catholics can't serve because they're really working for the Vatican.

The problem isn't when Muslims serve in the U.S. Army. The problem is when they betray the United States in favor of Islam.

Now, I ask you, how many Muslims in the U.S. have served in the armed forces and NOT committed treason?

[xJones]

I would caution my son serving in the military against any Muslim fellow servicemen. Prejudice? No doubt, but based on recent history there is every reason for it. The only way to stop the prejudice against American Muslims is for THEM to put America first - and get rid of the fanatical Wahabbi influence. It's really up to American Muslims.

(Can Moslems Serve?)

Only as gator bait!

[gg188]

Imagine the following in '39 or for that matter at any time since arguing to allow another enemy into our armed forces:

These men could be reassigned to a new ‘Nazi Brigade’, which could then be deployed to some theatre where they would be unlikely to have to fight against their fellow Nazis and where they might be kept away from the influence of radical Nazis showing radical tendencies being speedily discharged. They could be placed under the spiritual guidance of extremely carefully vetted moderate Nazis and guided towards a peaceful and ‘Americanized’ form of Nazism.

Now, see how stupid this writer's "logic" is?

[TheDon]

I think that we ought to look to history for a solution to this problem. In the Second World War Japanese-Americans, while forbidden from serving in the regular army, were allowed to join the 442nd Regimental Combat Team, which became one of the most distinguished units of the entire war.

Interesting idea, but I think we are beyond such notions today. You will not be seeing Moslem concentration camps either. If a Moslem, or a service member of another faith, has a problem obeying orders, they shouldn't be in the military. Moslems have killed more Moslems than everyone else combined. So I think such feelings are more individual in nature, than due to the teachings of their religion.

[Kay Soze]

Yes Moslems can serve.

They just cannot serve in any United States orginization.

Their loyality is to Allah as they recognize him through their scriptures- the Koran.

And the Koran is anti United States and all we stand for.

[joesnuffy]

No man can serve two masters
either he will love the one and hate the other
or hate the one and love the other

Loyalty to Islam and its tenents and fellow muslim's struggles
or to the USA and its troops...

[sheik yerbouty]

Why? Do they play tennis?

[Non-Sequitur]

So the discharge of those practicing the Islamic faith would unfairly punish actually loyal Americans simply upon the basis of their religion, but taking those same loyal Americans and segregating them into a single unit so that you can keep your eye on them is not?

[Defiant]

Can communists serve in a war against the Soviet Union? Ask Julius and Ethel Rosenberg whether they can be trusted. I think the suggestion to send them to Korea makes the most sense. They may get conflicted in the middle east.
