Muslims Serving the US Armed Forces

[sumay28]

What does the US Army do that is not Sharia?



Would you mind documenting that? I mean the bedouin were the raw material for the Early Muslim state and they often did not fight for Islam but for booty. They said so too. Was it wrong for a Hypocrit to join the Muslim Army and fight if he really did it for money? Or more specifically, did Muhammed ever turn anyone away from the Army just because he fought for money and not for God?



Actually yes I do. Muslims have Constitutional rights including the right to pray five times a day. A colonel is required to let any soldier break for however long he needs to pray.

Gosh I just don't feel like going into the rules of war according to shariah. I hope someone else on the board can be more informative. However, I was in the US Military. I know that I could not have been in the US Military if I was a muslim man.

No, they may not do anything of the sort! Again, they might feel an impulse to serve the country that has given them wealth, freedom and opportunity, rather than sit on their couch and complain about how victimised muslims are. It takes a stronger spirit to do the former than the latter, imo.
And who said anyone killed anyone? And it is an all volunteer army, man.

Why don't they join the mujahideen and fight for the sake of allah instead of fighting for the sake of bush and blair.

B/c they are citizens of either the US or UK and fighting for the "mujahideen" would render them traitors to their countries. Not all muslims think like you, I hope you realize.

And yet you could have been as a Muslima?

I am sorry you do not feel like going into the rules of War according to the Sharia, but perhaps you would like to take one single example of un-Sharia-like rules?
