I agree. After 9-11-01, we Americans were faced with an enemy who happens to belong to a particular religious group:Islam. Muslims don't belong in the US military. It's not being racist or an islamophobe. It's just a fact. Muslims are taught in their holy book, the Koran, to never kill Muslims. Clearly, this can be a big conflict of interest when Muslims are sent over to Iraq or Afghanistan. Their allegiance is to Allah, not to America. If an American Muslim truly loves the US, he or she should serve in another capacity. Don't join the military. I'm sure there are lots of patriotic Muslims out there. That's fine, Just do the US armed services a favor: don't enlist, don't join the military. You can help America out in other ways.

Bryan Fischer is once again just as wrong, but thankfully farther away. Good luck, Mississippi. Looks like it's your turn to deal with this guy.

There are thousands of Muslims in the US military, and two attacks by Muslims within the ranks (the last one in 2003) is not an indictment on Islam. As Obama said yesterday in his speech at Ft. Hood, no religion or just god condones this behavior. Christian extremists within the military have been just as vengeful, especially in the wake of 9/11, in the name of God, but that is not cause to ban Christians from enlisting. Most Christians see that behavior as sinful and against Jesus's teachings, just as most Muslims denounce the attack at Ft. Hood as against their own teachings. Some people are just psychotic and violent, and when they're associated with a religion, it unfairly reflects on those who share the same religion, but not the same proclivity toward destruction. So, sorry, Jeannie, it's not "just a fact," nor a conflict of interest for Muslims to enlist. You just sound afraid of what is foreign to you. This is nothing new, but recognize it for what it is.

Try telling the 13 families who will never see their loved ones again that Bryan Fischer is wrong. Just allow more islamo-freaks to join the US military and kill American soldiers. We never learn.

@sitting ducks: Perhaps you hadn't seen this: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/11/09/f…

'Michael Cahill, a physician assistant at the base, was the only civilian to be killed in the attacks, and his family spoke to CBS News to denounce the scapegoating of Muslims.

"You can't blanket a whole group of people. There's extremists in every religion, and there's extremists all over the world," said Cahill's daughter, Kerry. "And I don't think that we can blanket a whole group of people when this man obviously was ill, I think."

Cahill's other daughter, Keely Vanacker, expanded: "The death of our father, or any of these victims, shouldn't be an excuse or reason to begin to hate an entire group of people."'

Bryan Fisher is dead wrong. Bigotry is ugly, and goes against everything this country stands for.

Uh, the United States military is an arm of the government, and I'm pretty sure the First Amendment says something about persecuting people for their religious beliefs.

When they join the military, they take an oath to defend the country and the Constitution. That oath supersedes their religious beliefs. End of story.

Not that Fischer's brand of hate has anything to do with "devout," but he's definitely making a go at being a poster boy against religion.

If the Koran teaches that muslims should never kill muslims, how do you explain a suicide bomber in a public market in Iraq? They have been killing each other for hundreds of years. The only time they united was during the crusades and the U.S. occupation.

Superstitious beliefs, which are then used as the basis for a moral code, are the cause of all this. When people begin to realize that the Earth isn't really flat (as the Catholic Church insisted), that mystical deities don't really exist, and that Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy are as imaginary as Gods... only then will common sense and reason prevail.

I think that there should be more thourough checks on any muslim that tries to join the military. And I feel for those who where hurt by the FT. Hood shooting. Especially the soldiers. How would you feel if your C.O. that you saluted every day was muslim and then kills your friends then shoots you? I would say that there are plenty of soldiers who don't think that there should be muslims in the military. But of course, Obama being muslim his self is not going to do anything about it. For all I know hes a terrorist himself.

I think there should be a ban on rednecks in the military...let 'em buy their own ammo and guns, not sponge off the government's supply! And as for only Americans in the military, who IS an American? Surely not Muslims--oh God no....not THEM! First it was Indians, then Blacks and Mexicans, and now, MUSLIMS! The world has come to an end!
You idiots need to take your teabaggin' Palinistic forms of "patriotism" out to the landfill and LEAVE IT THERE! Sh@t stinks anywhere it flops, and yours has reached critical mass! Grow the Hell up!
