Does the U.S. military have American moslems fighting in Iraq or Afghanistan?

Question

What if we got involved in Israels war? Would Moslems in the U.S. military turn against the United States?

Answer 1

Roughly 2-3% of the people in the US military follow the Muslim religion.

I ave served with and supervised soldiers who happened to follow the Muslim religion - and I have no doubt that they are loyal.

These people are not 'Muslim-americans.'

They are American-muslims.

Answer 2

I do not believe they will; but of course an individual or two could that might raise serious problems for the US Military. Most of the Muslims in the United States that have volunteered for our armed services are 100% USA first; and our policies in the worlds politics do not matter to them. Most American Muslims are not as hung up on Israels right to exist as those who live in the Middle east either.

Answer 3

There have already been a few Muslim Americans that have turned against the military...but they knew when they signed up that America supported Israel as a nation.

Answer 4

This so-called "war" in Iraq isn't something extra suitable than a nationally subsidized armed theft of yet another countrys wealth (oil). this is been a countrywide custom of u . s . a . of america ever with the aid of fact in the previous we even grew to alter right into a rustic to rob different peoples (community individuals, Africans , Mexicans, Hawiians, Alaskans, ect..) of their land and organic supplies in order that the wealthy few right here ought to stay a life-time of luxurious. Then they make up some lame excuse why it exchange into justified and how the folk who we slaughtered deserved it . The undesirable people right here do each and all the combating and demise and the wealthy in basic terms take a seat lower back and get wealthy off the plunder. In that context, of direction the conflict in Iraq does no longer be seen unlawful. it may be like asking Hitler if killing Jews exchange into unlawful. we can all meet our maker sometime and you will clarify it to Him why a majority of those civilians are demise unnecessarily. be sure you point out that each and all the civilians which you purely bombed have been "collateral harm" and it exchange into all criminal with the aid of fact some oil company offered off our flesh pressers to make it happen. i'm particular he will understand and supply you a super pat on the lower back and say "nicely finished , soldier". with the aid of the way, u . s . a . of america doesnt have any actual squaddies. they're no longer something yet a bunch of over paid mercenaries doing the bidding of the wealthy few. in basic terms wait some years whilst the oil runs out and all of us commence killing one yet another purely for scraps of timber to burn for heat temperature in the wintry climate. Then justice would be served on u . s . a . and the oil dependant international locations who've foolishly wasted this priceless organic source and resorted to killing others and robbing them of their organic supplies. Hasta l. a. Vista , infant !!

Answer 5

Muslim or not, they are Americans first. No, I do not think they would turn against the US. And I know Muslim soldiers in Iraq.

Answer 6

Yes there are some - they can be proud to be Americans just like everyone else. And no they would not turn against the US.

Answer 7

Of course there is... Less than a year ago, an Army soldier through a grenade at his own buddies. He's up for many many years in Leavenworth.

Answer 8

They are Americans first. If they turn against the US then they will be traitors and dealt with according to the UCMJ. No civilian courts to protect them that's for sure.

Answer 9

Yes,it is not a problem.
In WW2 American catholics fought Italian Catholics.British Protestants fought German Protestants.

We fight for our country - not a religion.

There was a sergeant that threw a grenade into a tent in a camp in Kuwait. He was Muslim.
