With this evidence of direct involvement of these groups with the terrorist attacks, I hope a US Army recruitment team is asked in to these Islamic schools to aide these youths in the assimilation to army life. After all, they have the evidence now, lets see em carry out their promises.
Roles of Religion
To the Editor:
Re "The 2 Worlds of Muslim American Teenagers" (news article, Oct. 7): Your article about the views of Muslim students at Al Noor School in Brooklyn is one of the more frightening you have published in memory.
Though raised in our free society, some might not fight for America against fellow Muslims. Imagine what we would think of Christian students who refused to fight Germany in World War II because Germans were Christians.
America does not help Muslims? Obviously, these students were never taught about American aid to Afghan Muslims or of our fighting against Christians in Serbia to help Muslims.
Muslims are all victims? These students are oblivious to the human suffering caused by Muslim governments in Sudan and throughout the Middle East.
They deny that Muslims attacked New York and Washington on Sept. 11? Is truth a value in their school?
If the views of these young Muslim Americans are at all typical, we are in trouble.
