Despite recent rhetoric against the fastest-growing religion in the world, Islam has contributed a great deal to the U.S., including in the military, Defense Department figures show.
Muslims have played an essential part in guarding the homeland and fighting for its interests in war-torn countries the world over, fighting in all major U.S. wars, including the Civil War, World War I, World War II and the Vietnam War, according to military officials. More recently, Muslims have also served in the Gulf War, Iraq War and the war in Afghanistan.
Here's what the numbers tell us.
There are 5,896 self-identified Muslims currently serving in the military, according to the Department of Defense. This is out of a total of 1,313,940 active-duty and 826,106 guard and reserve members, respectively.
The Department of Defense offers service members the opportunity to identify their faith for inclusion in the Dependent Eligibility Enrollment System, and on their identification tags. If youre wondering why -- its for a very practical reason: for burial practices and religious services in the event of death.
Its important to note that of the 2.2 million in uniform, active or reserve, 400,000 service members have not self-reported their faith. So the total number of Muslims currently serving in the U.S. military is likely higher.

Who are able to follow their mussie religion but Christian pastors are forbidden to mention Yeshua in their sermons.
So, here you're inferring that there are some ignorant Freepers. Now why would you do that?
I think 13 were KIA.
Moslem vets at places like Ft. Hood killed 15 victims.
I don't feel any better about this than if somebody told me at the time in 1968 when I was in Vietnam there are 5,000 Communists serving in our military.
It would have put my hair on end then and it does the same now.
And it would be wise to figure out a way to determine which ones are radicalized islamic muslims and which ones are not. Perhaps for now, furlough all 5,000 - until we can figure out "what's going on" (which will help in preventing another Ft. Hood!)
Lol, 5,000 could all fit on one boat.
"So, here you're inferring that there are some ignorant Freepers. Now why would you do that?"
I have not seen your reply yet? Where is it? Where'd it go?
I just entered the thread and was formulating a response when I read yours, which is what I was groping for.
Let’s do this exercise: take the verbiage about IRA, Bader Meinhof Gang, the Italian Red Brigades, and FARC in Colombia, the KKK, and the Viet Cong like this from Dr. Peter Hammond’s book: Slavery, Terrorism and Islam: The Historical Roots and Contemporary Threat. www.frontline.org.za/books_videos/sti.htm which is well documented by recent (at least the last 50 years) history. Let’s replace “Muslim” with “Bader Meinhof Gang”:
******************************************
As long as the Bader Meinhof Gang population remains around 1% of any given country they will be regarded as a peace-loving minority and not as a threat to anyone. In fact, they may be featured in articles and films, stereotyped for their colorful uniqueness.
At 2% and 3% they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs [Europe, Australia, USA and Japan]. Six percent of US prison inmates are Bader Meinhof Gang. Like any other minority, they wont integrate, but work to build their own separate community.
From 5% on they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population. South Africa’s Bader Meinhof Gang population is 2%, but they control 35% of the businesses, a large percentage of the banks and have five Cabinet seats while Christians (77% of the population) have none.
They will push for the introduction of halaal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Bader Meinhof Gangs. They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature it on their shelves (along with threats for failure to comply).
At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves under Bader Meinhof Gang; Islamic Law. The ultimate goal of Islam is not to convert the world, but to establish Bader Meinhof Gang law over the entire world.
When Bader Meinhof Gangs reach 10% of the population, they will increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions. (Ei: car-burnings in France last October.) Any non-Bader Meinhof Gang action that offends Islam will result in uprisings and threats.
After reaching 20% expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings and church and synagogue burning (India, Mindanao, Philippines).
At 40% you will find widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks and ongoing militia warfare [Indonesia].
From 60% you may expect unfettered persecution of non-believers and other religions, sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Bader Meinhof Gang Law as a weapon and Jizya (infidel tax). (Sudan, Kosovo, Lebanon and Egypt).
After 80% expect State run ethnic cleansing and genocide [Western Papua (New Guinea), Iran, Biafra, Turkey and North Nigeria]. 10
0% will usher in the peace of “Bader Meinhof Gang” - Gang of Peace - as in Saudi Arabia, Libya and Yemen.

If you try the same thing by replacing “Muslim” with KKK, IRA, Italian Red Brigades, Viet Cong, FARC, or even “The Symbionese Liberation Movement”, they simply do not work, because they are not the same. Nothing personal here, drop 50 and fire for effect, but they simply doesn’t work for the reason they are NOT the same thing.
We certainly had communists in our military back then, and for a few years after.
But your point is well taken.
We had ethnic Germans in the military as well, just as we have ethnic arabs today.
But in the same way that an ethnic German is not the same as a Nazi, an ethnic arab is not the same as a Muslim.
But we all know “ethnic Arabs” are not the ones being talked about here, in general.
On the contrary; The more the general public is aware that our very MILITARY is infested with Mooselimbs, the MORE they will become suspicious, cynical, and revolted by the notion.
Exterminate them all.
Wonder how President Hillary will deal with the infestation of America’s military by these vermin?
How? She’d promote them all to Generals, Chief of Staff, and commanders of NATO, NORAD, and the Pentagon.

Ali Mohammed, look the name up. He was a Muslim, supposedly a good guy who trained with special forces. He was working for the worldwide Jihad, and had his tentacles into highly ranked officials. Read the book “Triple Cross” by Peter Lance and understand how deeply our country has been penetrated, and for how long. Michelle Bachmann was correct, and still is. As during FDR’s reign we had the communists move into positions of power and influence, so now we have Muslims use the same route.
If there are moderate Muslims, they are heretics according to the Koran. Real Islam is incompatible with freedom and tolerance. It can’t coexist in peace.
Smarter immigration decisions, like those proposed by Trump, can save the lives of American civilians and military personnel in the future - regardless of their religion.
Democrats always pretend that everyone else has the same biased, simplistic, group based thinking that they do, and try to project their own guilt and prejudice onto everyone else. It is too bad Mr. Khan fell for their nonsense.
There was plenty of great architecture built by tyrants and their subjects, and even vile dictators have built some impressive buildings and skylines.
When it comes to the values of our society it is hard to find them expressed in nations where Sharia law is in effect. It is obviously true that people who are Islamic, but don't subscribe to the radical versions of Islam may also share Western values and believe in the same things American conservatives do. That's why they are the victims of attacks just like others opposed to radical Islam. Captain Khan is almost certainly in that category.
Among those skyscrapers are many people with values antithetical to the values our nation is based on. There is no reason to import their ideas to our nation, nor should we be anxious to subsidize their lifestyle by buying their oil.
People who share our values, and goals for the future should be welcomed to our nation. People whose goal is to institute a government based on religious tyranny should look elsewhere.
Yeah, what patriots, eh?
Just like the massive outrage after every ISLAMIC TERRORIST event
Their outrage is deafening
Congressman Barton speaks following Lakeview tour
In this video, watch how 'church organizer' Matt Auttier (who's on the take) is constantly nodding his head up and down....hoping that this will speed up the interviewer to get on to the next question -so he can get the interview over with faster.
Basically, this ...'church' and some other 'churches' have and are receiving contracts from the Obama administration to take these muslims from the airport to their church camps after each flight arrives -and within a month or so- disperse them all over the USA. And then another group of muslims fly in to be dispersed all over our country. This is what obama has been and is doing as we speak!
...the interview with Matt Auttier begins at 15:46
