the problem with this is what you read here:
"We live in a world where everyone is looking at the United States saying, 'You're anti-Islam.' But here at West Point, that's not what we do," West Point Chaplain Col. John Cook said."
You can see from this statement, that there is a "guilt factor" involved with accomodating them. The "world" thinks the US is anti-islam, just because we happened to be a little upset that they flew some planes into the WTC and the Pentagon, so of course the "world" must be right, and we need to bend over backwards to accomodate them now. Because after all, its the US that is really guilty here.
Imagine this same approach applied to the Japanese after Pearl Harbor.
Your "legal" issues aside, what you are seeing here is an example of why we aren't on track to win this war.
No more so than accomodating blacks at West Point. Muslims aren't admitted to West Point because the Army feels guilty. They are admitted because they meet the qualifications and legally cannot be excluded.
"Imagine this same approach applied to the Japanese after Pearl Harbor."
It was. Japanese fought with distinction in the US military after Pearl Harbor.
BUMP!
Guilt in America is epidemic these days -- guilt about being the most successful nation in world history, guilt about being the world's only current superpower, guilt about our high standard of living, white/Judeo-Christian guilt being taught at those leftist indoctrination centers called "schools", etc. Overwhelming guilt, and the result is a form of political correctness that verges on the suicidal.
