will never fight in a war against other muslims, if its true that they don't have to fight, and a war does start, or is imminant, can everyone convert to a muslim to escape being called up?
Why should they sit on their arses watching us all getting killed on sky news, laughing?
If they were allowed to stay at home, would you go and fight?

Crazy isn't it ? They say they won't fight against another Muslim yet Iran was at war for seven years with Iraq, the Taliban killed fellow Muslims in Afghanistan and the list goes on just as fellow Muslims are killing each other in Iraq.
I think that there would have to come a time when the Muslim community REALLY show in unity just where they want to be, because God forbid if there was another World War and they didn't support the country that they were living in then I can see a potential uprising against them by the moderates who make up the majority of our population

Sadly Great Britain is lacking in Patriotism when it comes to Defending the Realm and its not just Muslims who would distance themselves from a "Call to Arms" should the need arise.
Although that said Drafting Muslims into the Armed Forces would only create resentment and increase the risk of a Fifth Column developing within the military from those easily influenced by the so called Preachers of Hate. As an individual the decision whether to fight or not, should not be based on what others may or may not do.

anybody has the right to concientiously object to being called up on religious or moral grounds under military law. just because they are muslim makes no difference, you could just as easily do this as a christian. people did this during WW1 and 2. muslims will fight against other muslims. the saudi's and egyptians fought in the first gulf war. it's more than a little rasist to assume that just muslims may refuse to fight, when a lot of the "stop the war" campaigners will do the same most of whom are christians. this is another symptom of the culture of "lets all blame the muslims/kosovans/poles" for our ill's. why not blame the people who would lead us to war in the first place?

I would go and fight. I'm in the military and would gladly fight for my country. If hay get out of it simply by converting to the Muslim faith, then that's simply cowardice. I wouldn't hesitate to go to war if needs be. I am a patriot. I would truly fight for Queen and Country.
Don't get me wrong, If a true Muslim decided not to go to war, then that's fine by me, but the ones who convert just to get out of going to war, well that insults the Muslims and the military.

Muslims will never fight for this country. They are Muslim FIRST and British last (if at all). I've seen many young British Muslim men interviewed on television and, although not all of them are directly involved in terrorism, almost all of them freely admit that they agree with the cause. They are traitors in our midst and potential candidates for those who recruit for terrorist activity.

As my grandfather learned in ww2, you can get called up to the frontlines, and not fight. The Germans didn't trust Italians, let alone the ones conscripted at gun point.
They would get the menial jobs, no different to the jews (though they were of higher ranking, like B grade dirt over C grade).
This means no guns, and getting shot at plenty, especially if you work the supply routes.
