What exactly do you suggest they do?
As for examples of them fighting the radicals:
Seems to me that Muslims in the military would be combating radical Islam.

More about soldiers:
A US Muslim soldier of Lebanese origin, Omar Al-Masri, wrote on the side of his personnel carrier: 'We wish Iraq a blessed Ramadan.'
.....We are to make peace with those who have wronged us, strengthen ties with family and friends, do away with bad habits -- essentially to clean up our lives, our thoughts, and our feelings. The Arabic word for "fasting" (sawm)literally means "to refrain" - and it means not only refraining from food and drink, but from evil actions, thoughts, and words.

The following article is a little older article, but a good one supporting Muslims standing for America.

From Mickey: All very justified real fears....
My interest in this thread: I have nephews that are Lebanese... and during the time since 9/11 they have had some difficulty because of their nationality though they were born in the USA. They are not practicing Muslims. They are born again Christians, but at this time, it can be very difficult for them. They are Lebanese Americans that stand for and uphold the safety of America. My nephew is considering joining the navy.
salida started the thread with this post:
Intelligence Report: Islam Setting up U.S. - Warn Your Politicans!
Please read: http://www.homelandsecurityus.com/Taylor031907
Your politicians must be told and their phones should be ringing off the hook so they never get any peace!!!
There is a real fear. And it does need to be addressed
for it is a difficult time. . Many innocent people have suffered because of fear. As Americans, we have to be careful and wise.... and also realize the outcome of our reaction to our fear of 'radical things'....we have to use much [FONT="]discernment [/FONT]and wisdom. And for me prayer.....
Below is an example of Americans suffering through our fear.... We must ask ourselves is there a better way?

The attack on Pearl Harbor also launched a rash of fear about national security, especially on the West Coast. In February 1942, just two months after Pearl Harbor, President Roosevelt as commander-in-chief, issued Executive Order 9066, which had the effect of relocating all persons of Japanese ancestry, both citizens and aliens, inland, outside of the Pacific military zone. The objectives of the order were to prevent espionage and to protect persons of Japanese descent from harm at the hands of Americans who had strong anti-Japanese attitudes.
What is the answer?
sincerely
Mickey
