Yes, we should ban Islamic extremists from the military. <staff edit>.
Did you seriously just say that?

This isn't the first time a muslim member of the military has killed fellow servicemen.

they told me if I voted for John McCain that I would get a President like Bush that would violate the airspace and sovereignty of an allied nation with a military force to assassinate a foreign national of another allied country and then their dead body would be dumped in the ocean. and they were right.
As long as this war is in Muslim countries, then yes, we do.
What are we to do when we go to war which a christian nation?

LAST WARNING! Guys, pages back I asked that you remember the tragedy and you can discuss it, but please keep the flames out of it and no insults. The thread will be closed if it happens again.

His Word burns in my heart like a fire, and I cannot contain it.
Stupidity knows no bounds. We're not at war with young white boys, and young white boys make up a vast majority of Americans, and especially the military. Muslims are an extremely small minority, yet their attacks and attempted attacks may have a much higher ratio to population than young white boys. I'm not sure, I haven't looked at the numbers, wouldn't even know where to look.
You're also not at war with Muslim members of the US Military... As I understand it there is a very long history of members of the military killing other military members.
I'm finding it very hard to search for anything relevant at the moment (all Foot Hood results) but I believe I read that only one of quite a lot of incidents in the last 8 years were by Muslim soldiers. I also recall one incident in Iraq where an Iraqi contractor carried out an attack.
But lets not pretend all muslims are cute and cuddlely when there is a significant epidemic of violence among their population.
Islam is the religion of around a billion people - while there are certainly violent factions and movements it's stretching a bit to call it a 'significant epidemic'. Let's not pretend all muslims are ugly violent monsters. Or maybe let's, if that's easier.

No, but it's also very far from the first time a member of the military has killed fellow servicemen.

So you're equating race with a religion correct? Wrong. Not all Arabs are Muslim, nor are all Muslims Arab or from the Middle East. There are twice as many Muslims in China than Saudi Arabia. Indonesia has the largest Muslim populaton in the world. Between China, Indonesia and Malaysia, the Asian continent has more Muslims than the rest of the world combined.
I'm a white male, who converted to Islam. I have served my country with honor for over 12 years now. So you're saying I should be kicked out of the military, because of my faith?
