My 31 year-old son converted to Islam when he was stationed in Germany with the Army. He fought in the Gulf War against Saddam Hussein. I feel helpless as I listen and watch him praise the attacks against our nation.

So sorry to hear this horrible news. You are NOT helpless! Maybe this is a really good time to sever those family ties. Sometimes God gives you a strong dose of reality and it really tests you. I think this is that test.

Believe me, I know it's tough.....I had to do it to my son.....my only child. It was for a totally different reason but it had to be done. God hit me with a stiff dose of reality, and I made a tough decision. My life is much clearer now.

We both realize it's no longer a topic we can discuss.

Keep the peace. Thank God for FreeRepublic, where I can shout "I AM PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN!"
