Do you honestly know what is in the heart of that man? Did he join the Army to be an instruement for peace or did he join to kill Muslims? Do you even know if he is or is not Muslim himself? There are many Muslims serving in the US Army and some are serving in Iraq. Some are of Iraqi ancestry and have volunteered for Iraq duty in order to do their part to assure fair treatment of Iraqis.

You may be well informed of the errors in American foreign policy, but do you truly know what is the intentions or deeds of any individual soldier?

Muslims in the U.S. military are as loyal as any, chaplain says
Saturday, October 20, 2001

By MIKE BARBER
SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER REPORTER

FORT LEWIS -- Each Friday, soldiers in battle-dress camouflage here remove their boots, face Mecca and prostrate themselves, heads bowed to the carpet in obedience to Allah.

In the military base's Islamic Chapel Center, they recite their Jumah prayers, following the lead of Capt. James Yee, a West Point graduate and a convert to Islam who is chaplain of Fort Lewis' largest battalion.

More than a month after terrorist attacks sent the United States into war against Middle Eastern terrorists who twist Islam to validate their perversions, Yee and military chaplains in general are playing increasingly important roles.

And in the first U.S. war with religious overtones, especially after calls by terrorists for "holy war" against the United States, Yee has become one of the most sought-after figures at the base, called upon to edify others about Islam and to elaborate on the relationship between soldiering and spirituality.

"Most people want to know how Sept. 11 fits into Islam," said Yee, 33, a former Lutheran who specialized in air artillery defense and was a Patriot missile fire control officer before becoming a chaplain.

"What happened is un-Islamic and categorically denied by a great majority of Muslim scholars around the world," he said of the terrorists who commandeered passenger jets and slammed them into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and a field in Pennsylvania, killing people from all faiths.

Yee is chaplain of the 700-member 29th Signal Battalion, which counts nearly a dozen Muslim soldiers in its ranks. He estimates that there are 100 to 150 Muslim soldiers at Fort Lewis and McChord Air Force Base.

The number of Muslims in the U.S. military is hard to estimate. Estimates vary from 4,000 to more than 12,000. Armywide, Yee knows of at least seven other posts with Muslim chaplains.

Although that is an outdated article, the number of Muslims in the US Army is growing, mostly because of Iraq and they are volunteering for Iraq duty in hopes of being Peace keepers.

I've talked to quite a few of the soldiers who did tours of duty in Iraq and have returned. Almost all of them, regardless of what horrors they might have witnessed, like the Iraqi people and tried to do their best to help them out. A video has been shown of soldiers teasing with a bottle of water, but there is no video showing the thousands of water deliveries to villages and neighborhoods by the U.S. military. There are no videos showing the daily activities of the average soldier whose only goal is to do some good in a bad situation. Yes, as in all war, there will be mistakes and outright brutality on the part of some. Regardless of the right or wrong of the occupation, the average soldier would rather be playing soccer with Iraqi children than engaging in a firefight.

any muslim for fights for the invading forces has commited clear and open kufr, as have those who cooperate with them.

even supplying weapons or or supplies to the enemies of islam is open kufr.

I would imagine the Muslims soldiers who signed up for duty believed that removing Saddam Hussein was very much an Islamic act.

Are they fighting as invaders or are they doing their best to assure that their fellow soldiers do not become invaders and do treat Iraqi's fairly. remember an American GI does not gain from the spoils of war. No American GI can legaly gain any property or wealth from combat.
