First let say hello to everyone here at CS. This my first thread since Oct 31. My last thread question was:

Does Israel remain a an obstacle to world peace? and to my surprise it is still being talk about today and that is a good thing to hear that people do care about what is happening in world.
So the question is today:

Should the american military accept a devout Muslim in their rank?
I am referring to the Fort Hood massacre in Texas.

The US military should not discriminate against any person's religion (or their race/ethnic group). However, anyone joining the military, should understand that they must put the country first and be a soldier first.

During my time in the military I served with many different types of men. I assume most were of all religions. Funny thing about a man who shares a foxhole under fire, you don't give a damn about his religion--only whether he has your back.

Well let me ask should we accept Blacks ? After all the Black Panthers said white people were the enemy- thousands of them and so far we have only had a handful of Muslims in the military who caused problems.

We shouldn't accept Christians either because Nichols and McVeigh killed more than all military muslims.

That a Black person could as such a foolish and bigoted question.... after all there is a Much higher percentage of Blacks in jail and selling drugs than other races.

Try this - Judge each person separate by his own characteristics-0 not by Race or Religion (haven't you heard that before?)

woodzchick: Hey Rob! Do you think it would be safe to say that it really doesn't make a difference which type of trial he gets? The type of crime he committed warrants capital punishment, that is if that state carries that penalty. I'm not sure.


What happen to you, girl? I miss you. Also I finally have my very own compact Acer Aspire One computer and a new e-mail address at Yahoo. I will send my new e-mail to you through your profile very soon. Only if you want it Susan because I thought you give up on me.

Actually, about the time that you had to stop using the computer at work, I had to go offline for a while so that I could get some things for school done. I was gone for about a week, I believe. You know how it is when it gets close to the end of the semester......CRAZY!

Many were drafted into the Vietnam war. Whether any objected on religious grounds is unknown as are the numbers that may have served in the medical corps along with Christians that were conscientious objectors such as the Mormons, Mennonites, Quakers, and others, as I knew a few that served at the Cameron Bay base along with a couple of Buddhists and a Hindu The only religious group that is exempt from any military service , as far as I know, are the Amish . As far as I know, there never was any discrimination of any kind in regards to a draftee's religion other than not making it difficult to serve in a non- combative sense. This is also fairly widespread in various countries in regards to military service around the world.

No. Only Christians should have the right to kill.

The whole purpose of the military is to defend and protect your country. When you are a soldier, no matter what religion, color or whatever, you are subject to military discipline and military law. Everyone who serves his/her country know this and should be prepared to pay the price.
