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...

BS! Essential part, my eye. Next thing you know the quislings at ABC are going to claim that half the crew of the Niña, the Pinta and the Santa María were mohammadans because Spaniards were incompetent seamen and Christopher Columbus would never have found the New World without their help.

“Despite recent rhetoric against the fastest-growing religion in the world”

>>According to a new estimate in 2016, there are 3.3 million Muslims living in the United States, about 1% of the total U.S. population. American Muslims come from various backgrounds and, according to a 2009 Gallup poll, are one of the most racially diverse religious groups in the United States.
That’s an active service rate of 0.015.

61% of muslims in America are 1st generation immigrants. Islam is only growing in America by colonization, not conversion.

Islamists don’t look highly upon Louis Fahrakahn’s Nation of Islam.

I disagree with the rhetoric regarding Islam’s “growth”.

(A) every year they try boasting of a number 200,000,000 higher than the previous year. I see no evidence of it.
(B) people in the Islamist nations have little to no freedom of religion and are born submissive slaves to Mohammed with a death penalty used on those who would convert away from the faith. It is a bogus number because it is not by free choice or honest admission.

Muslims are a significantly younger population than the U.S. as a whole... ~77% are between the ages of 18 and 50 (about twice the national average), and ~54% are male. One would expect such a demographic to be well above mean rate of service, but instead it is <1/3 the expected number if the demographics matched the U.S. as a whole.

61% of muslims in America are 1st generation immigrants.

They've run from defending the women and children of their homelands to seek "refuge" in the west. They aren't going to defend the west from (Islamist) threats if they ere unwilling to defend their homeland.

Hasan K. Akbar was in the US military until he fragged a tent full of fellow soldiers.

fighting in all major U.S. wars, including the Civil War,... Oh, Please, give me a break. I must have missed reading about the volunteer Muslim regiments serving during the Civil War when I studied it forty years ago. The author should put his crack hookah pipe down slowly, and back away.

“there are thousands of Christian boys from families who go back hundreds of years in our country who have died fighting our enemies in Iraq/Afghanistan..

families who have given sons for generations in all the wars...”

And Jewish boys have served honorably fighting our enemies and likewise died for their country, just as Christian boys did. That fact somehow gets overlooked by some. Over a half million Jews served in the military in WWII, representing 3.7% of those who served. Jews were 3% of the U.S. population at the time.

Bingo! And, I question their motives from enlisting as well. Remember Brussels Airport?

There are more Christians than muslims in the world by several hundred thousand and in a few years, as the Christianization of China and Africa takes hold, that number will grow significantly.

Out of the 5000 how many can be trusted and how many have been truly vetted? probably none because of PC fear. So we have been infiltrated by our idiocies, a ticking time bomb like the work place violence fort hood murders

If I had the power, they would be discharged. Too much of a risk.

OR vetted all over again, STRONGLY.

But anyone can be fooled.

You have a clean past and you say you love America. And..a week later you’re conveted to ISIS.
