Muslims should be allowed to serve in the US military

I accept your definitions. As always, please no talking in circles, beating around the bush and opponents must directly answer any posed questions. Failure to do so should be weighed in the voting. Well here ya go.. You knew my argument a head of time. lol When we first consider the question of whether or not Muslims should be allowed to serve in our military we must remember who our enemies are. They are Muslims. They aren’t some foreign nation that attacked us motivated by some reason or another and happen to be Muslim. No. They are Muslim and their faith is what instructs them to attack. There are tons of videos of terrorists reciting verses from the Quran to prove this. (This should be common knowledge by now so no source is necessary but will be provided if asked.) So the question is, if their faith is what motivates and instructs them to kill non-muslims then why should we let any Muslim serve in our armed forces if they believe in the same thing? That on its face makes no sense. That would be like fighting the Soviet Union and allowing card carrying communists in the military. Do people not see the potential conflict of interest and possible security breaches/dangers in that? Maybe the politically correct crowd doesn’t. So here’s some proof. - Abujihaad disclosed the location of Navy ships and their weaknesses to an online forum, while serving on the USS Benfold. - Major Nidal Hasan who shot 13 people - Sgt. Akbar threw grenades into the tactical operations center killing or wounding fifteen soldiers. - Yonathan Melaku, a Marine Reservist and a radical Muslim, shot at the Pentagon and other military buildings in northern Virginia There’s more so please read entire article. (1) Is it making a little more sense now as to why we shouldn’t let Muslims serve? Home grown terrorism is on the rise. If Muslims in this country are becoming more dangerous and violent due to their religious teachings, wouldn’t that then make sense that some of this will spill over into the armed forces? Obviously it has. "A survey of 100 randomly selected mosques in America finds 81% of them feature Islamic literature " not including the Quran and Sunnah " that advocates violence. And 85% of the imams running the mosques actively recommend these tracts." (2) "Experts indicate 40 separate episodes connecting U.S. mosques to terrorist organizations in the past decade." (3) Can we still not see the growing trend and danger this presents? Can we not see the common denominator between people like Osama bin Laden and your seemingly normal Muslim neighbor? It’s their religion. Now before some of you start yelling saying violence is not commanded in the Quran. That those terrorists have hijacked the religion and are misinterpreting Islam let me present you with the posted video. It clears up common misconceptions about Islam. In addition before you still claim that its some modern day terrorists misinterpretations, that the Quran doesn’t command violence except in defense. Let’s look at some history. The 7th Century Muslim invasion is when Islam spread by the sword from present day Saudi Arabia out to India and Spain. How could a “defensive” war conquer almost the entire known world at the time? That is the antithesis of “defensive”. 200 years ago this “War on Terror” actually began when President Thomas Jefferson declared war on the Barbary Pirates of North Africa (Muslims) For a long time we payed the jizya(tax) on non-Muslims so they would stop attacking our trade ships, taking our stuff, and killing or selling our sailors into slavery. Jefferson became fed up and went and visited the Muslims and asked why they keep doing this. They said, because their god commanded them. Just to make clear, Jefferson got his own copy of the Quran and read it and confirmed what they said. So, he said enough and sent our Navy to destroy them. (4) In conclusion: - Violent Muslim teachings are on the rise in America - We see an increasing trend of Muslim service members either killing other soldiers or giving away secret information - Obvious conflicts of interest with Muslim service members - Islam has ALWAYS commanded violence Questions you must answer. 1) With what you know now about Islam and what it instructs its followers to do, how do you feel about people who believe the same violent religion invented by Muhammad and used as a justification for terror since its inception? 2) Can a person who believes in the same religion as Osama bin Laden really be trusted with top secret material or the lives of fellow non-Muslim service men when Islam commands taqiyya, given the prior incidents with Muslims killing soldiers and divulging information? 3) Can you see the potential conflict of interest with Muslims in the military based on the multiple events I cited in regards to Muslims either killing fellow soldiers or releasing secret information? 4) If you are a non-Muslim and had to chose. Would you pick Jesus or Muhammad as a neighbor? 5) If I were to lock you in a room with someone who professes to be a devout Muslim or a devout Christian, which would you pick? 1 http://www.danielpipes.org...... 2 http://news.investors.com...... 3 http://www.clarionproject.org...... 4 http://www.citizenwarrior.com...... http://www.youtube.com...
