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.

Most Muslims are not too bothered with terrorism.

And one of them killed a whole bunch of cops in Dallas and another ex-service man killed cops someplace else recently. This proves NOTHING!

Not all Muslims are terrorists but all terrorists are Muslim.

ABC seems to be on a roll with the muslim-centric stories

psyops against Trump

who’s raised millions for vets - white, black, Christian, Jewish, atheist, even muslim cultists, didn’t matter.

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.
and there are more than 10X that number of Christians serving in our military...

While Moslems far outnumber Christians worldwide..

So ???

a pittance of moslems serve in our military and I’m suppose to get excited ???

Only 5,000 ???

Wheres the article about the number of Christians who serve ???

and name those moslems who served in the Civil war...the bushes were well beaten to find those...

It’s 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.

5000 enemy troops in our ranks. Not very comforting.

that is generous... 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. I’d guess their representation is less than 1/6th what it should be, and an order of magnitude low if one were to assume they were intent on showing the Muslim American community stands with the U.S. in the war on terror. This number is not impressive, but rather shines a light on a VERY low service rate. I’d also point out that SEVEN TIMES as many gang bangers are in the military... should we feel good about that as well?

"More than 5,000 Muslims Serving in US Military"

Gathering valuable skills and intelligence, no doubt.

I’m sure we can easily find replacement for those 5000 enlisted Muslims, and by not allowing any new ones in we could avoid future atrocities like San Bernardino, Orlando, Boston, and possibly future 9/11, not to mention the hundred of billions of dollars we spend on surveillance of all the potential terrorists.

To me it’s an absolute no-brainer. I want to know why do we need even one more in our country.

I don’t know how to confirm a number like that. Is it true or not? I have no idea.

...Islam is NOT a religion. It is an ideology rooted in oppression.

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.

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