Something for the kill all Muslims crowd to chew on.
What was the name of that other muslim Marine who deserted and turned up in Jordan and who is still being investigated...?
I'm not part of the kill all Muslims crowd, but I'm no fan of that religion. Alot of ugly things have been done in the name of Islam and it's going to take time to undo the damage done to its reputation.
This Marine sounds like an honorable and decent man. There were honorable and decent Japanese and Germans fighting for our side in World War II, too. Just as was true in those cases, It is an ideology and world view that is dangerous in this instance, an ideology and world view that inflames a substantial minority of fanatics to attack and try to kill us and that leads a clear majority of all other Muslims to passively acquiesce to the goals and methods of the Jihadists, or to cheer them on.
This Marine's attitude is far too rarely found among even moderate Muslims worldwide. I hope for his sake, our sake, indeed the whole world's sake that his attitude takes root and grows into a majority view.
