Are there Muslim soldiers in the US army?

AMANDA

yeah there are

I am sure there are Muslim soldiers, but you misunderstand the point. Unfortunately it doesn't matter if the soldier thinks Bush is lying, because he swore an oath to enforce the military bounds of the United States. This includes supporting the orders of the Commander in Chief. A religious belief will not, obviously, stand in the way of the militry. AND REMEMBER-we are not at war against all muslims, we are at war against the Muslim Extremist terrorist groups.

Yes there are Muslims that are in the US Army. Its a wonderful thing for them, in my opinion, to stand up for their faith and FIGHT along side of the rest of us. Regardless of faith or nationality you have to admit that Islamic Radicals are a serious problem through out the world today and that they have to be dealt with accordingly.

i don't see how its different from Christian soldiers fighting if their leaders are preaching pasifiscim.

btw its a war against terrorism not muslims....

More than likely there are Muslims in the army.

According to our President, We aren't fighting "Muslims" we're fighting "terrorists"

According to many Muslims, in no way does Islam condone and promote violence, therefore terrorists would not be viewed as "true" muslims.
your average Muslim might not choose to join the army, but if he/she believes in the cause he/she might do just that.

Of Course!

Yes, there is. When I was deployed, I met a friend - a soldier who was Muslim. He was originally from Afghanistan ironically enough, he knew the language and everything, but moved to the U.S. when he was younger and evenutally joined the U.S. Army when he was of age.

As he put it, he is not going over there to fight Muslims, Muslims are good people - but the extremists, Taliban, al Qaeda, (though Muslim) are not good people. They kill their own people as well. Just like there are "Christians" who do really wrong things, there are Muslims who do wrong things.

Over 6,000 on active duty in the Army alone. A few thousand more in the other services. The Marine Corporal who raised the U.S. flag above Bagram Air Base in late 2001 is an Afghan-American and a Muslim. There are a little over half a dozen Imams in the Chaplain Corps of the various services.
You see, it isn't Muslim fighting Muslim. It's Muslim fighting against the Hirabah. Those who are the Ku Klux Klan of the Islamic Ummah. Those who subscribe to the heresy of "Takfir" which says it's O.K., in the carrying out of Jihad, for Muslim to deliberately kill Muslim. There is the sin.
Not all Iraqis are Muslims. There are a fair number of Christians in the country, including one group of Chaldean Catholics whose roots go back to the time of Saint Thaddeus and Syriac Catholics who still celebrate the Mass in Aramaic, the language spoken by Jesus.
Those Hirabah who follow the likes of Bin Laden don't carry out or respect the Five Pillars of Islam. They are only interested in establishing a theological dictatorship based on a false understanding of the Koran. Just like the Klan's misreading of the Bible.

MP US Army

Yes I know of several.

I wish there were more (Arabic, Dari, pashto, and farci speakers) they give us a better perspective into the culture. They can also tell who is who.

pilpel_jarif_69

Yes they are, many as a matter of fact, not all Muslims are terrorists, the are American Muslims,and they also have their Muslim Imam, Chaplain in USA lingo, also there are Afro-American that have embraced Islam.

dogsngoat

In 2001 there were about 4200 muslim soldiers in the US military. I've not seen any estimates since then.

hotshot396

Yes there are but they are in the war because they are against Iraq for having terrorist suspects.

sure222

im sure there are

xsoul_less1x

Of course, there are some, but most soldiers and sailors are christians. The service people are not there to kill over religious ideologies, they really want to help. I have to believe that most think, these people are suffering from restriction of free will. Why don't muslims accept other faiths?

Jonathan C

YES THERE IS 100, 000% SURE there was a story about one that got arested not to long ago..

Roadrunner58-79

Y E S, There are Muslim Men and Women in the
U S Army and they are very good soldiers and they owe their allegiance to the United States of America!! PRESIDENT Bush HAS NOT lied about anything!!

KARL V

Yes, i know of a Muslim believer who serves in the military. there have been many, some who are crazy and betray the men and women they serve with but god, allah or who ever will deal with them.

afcs09

Its would be just like Christian VS Christian no differnce.

Chris

If there is then they are breaking there own rules... let them do as they do, just dont jepordise our sholders that are just doing what there told.

Serena d

I don't think they are inquiring what's your religion when they recruit you.

Kingofpain

Yes , but the Army doesn't like them , they Arrested a Musilum religious guy who was in the army and accused him of doing bad stufff, but he was aquitted.

Yes there are, but I would never go and fight in iraq because it's not a just war.

makattackz

i had a muslim friend in school and i asked if they[the normal ppl] hate the normal ppl of US. and he told me that they hate our government.

yes cuz i remember that 1 put grenades in his officers tent. it happens. i do believe some think that Saddam was as evil as Bush. It doesnt matter who u r if u come to America it changes u. sometimes good, sometimes bad

d.harris37
