Ya, and a month ago you would have raised "cain" if someone wanted to do something about that whacked out Army psychiatrist because he was emailing a rag head terrorist imam!  Give me a break! Theres no reason to have a muslim in charge of anything connected to protecting us against his bretheren!

In fact, you have no idea what my reaction would have been to information about Major Hassan. However, considering that Mr. Alikhan was a career prosecutor with the Department of Justice through the first six years of the Bush administration, perhaps you should be complaining about his activities at that time.

I have never served however my understanding is that when a person enlists they swear to protect the constitution as well as this country

We had Japanese fighting with great distinction in WWII while their families were in interment camps

We had Germans likewise fighting honorably

Tuskeegee airmen were the ones b24 and b17? bomber pilots wanted protecting them on those long missions while at home they could be killed for kissing a white girl

Same with all religions and ethnicities.  An american who wishes to fight for his country should be allowed to do so if fit and takes the oath IMHO

Just because one is a muslim should not bar them from honorable service.  How to use the person is a different matter isnt it?  Chris was this post's intent to say a Muslim should not serve, should not serve in that capacity in a chain of command or that you dont approve of President Obama's policies in general ?  Once the knee jerk reactions come in we lose sight, if we ever had it, of what the poster was trying to say. I for one would like to know even if you email me another day

What is more troubling to me is that people are worried about being politically correct. When one see something that smells bad, one should not be afraid to say so and have no fear for saying so, especially in the military or pardon the oxymoron military intelligence

P.D. I was referring to the Ft Hood incident when I mentioned smells bad, as in stuff that was said and written by the soldier before he went mad

C'mon guys ! Is this guys religious beliefs the best reason you can find to bash him...   Do you believe every raghead is a terrorist or just the muslim ones?

Oss, sorry I missed your question.  I am saying that as in the Army Psychiatrist (he took the oath), it would not be surprising to learn that this new appointee may have a bias toward the wrong side as well based on his being Muslim, its part of the nature of being muslim, so why have the risk......we are fighting radical muslims, this guy can serve the country, but I feel he should not be in charge of any part of Home Land Security.  I see it as a possible conflict of interests.  It makes me think the administration doesnt take the war we are fighting seriously enough

[Romeo]

I agree, basically with Chris.  What mainstream America fails to acknowledge is the fact that we are in a war. A war unlike any war we have ever been involved in. It is a war for our minds. Puff, a person isn't automatically a redneck, just because they don't agree with you. Ask yourself, truthfully, how tolerant is Islamic belief towards people that don't agree with it? The word they use is "infidel".  "Live and let live" has to work in both directions.

[fstsix]

Not to be long winded, or do i watch to many Video's, This is not the board to go into this to deep, i try to always use a professional to reference to,this is one topic i find that with the help of PHD's and Pastors + 30 years of study,'Not to be puffed up with knowledge', This is my favorite, Spiritual warfare,cults, denominational division.One would think that our central intelligence would or does understand the dept of a mans religion this is Not a new thing, Maybe we are asleep America that is.http://ldolphin.org/moreyislam.html

[Chrisj CMA]

Thanks romeo and fstsix.....I thought Id get flamed, but I feel strongly about my positon and no matter how not politically correct it may seem to some, I make no apologies because its real, and we need to wake up to it.  Its just nice to not be alone..........There are some good folks out there that are Muslim, I understand this.....but there are many that arent.  The pendulum is swung to the side of hoping all are good, it needs to swing back towards the side that some may be a danger without crossing over to unecessary persecution IMHO

[fstsix]

trust me you are not alone, The bible has death and destruction from Old test to New, where i have seen it finally end is when JC was captured and Peter took a swipe at the soldier and took his ear off, and JC demanded he lay down his Sword. The 'Quran' well look at my post and it is spelled out for all to view. Dr Martin was a old friend i worked for back in Ca,

See, I knew people like you that just love to cut down others would try to spin the topic into some kind of prejudice or bigotry.....its so easy to do that and that is exactly why people have been hesitant to make right but hard decisions about this whole terrorist/muslim thing.....fear of being seen as a racist.  Well you can go on talking nice to those that want us dead....they will still want us dead, and that wont change.

[Skinhead]

I agree with Chris, If I were president, I doubt very much if I'd have made this appointment, however, not knowing the man, I can't say that he isn't the man for the job, just seems intuitively the wrong choice.

If I were president, I can assure you there would be a lot more profiling going on.  The hell with political correctness.  These terrorists would be tried by military tribunals, and I would probably be called a racist.  While I don't judge people by their race, religion, or ethnicity, I feel there are worthless people in all of those categories. 

We need to use logic and common sense, I have yet to hear of any little old white ladies shooting, bombing, or beheading anyone, I have seen plenty of them being searched in airport security lines as towelheads are passed right through.  I'm sick of taking my shoes off and having my shaving creme and aftershave confiscated at airports, yet the bankrupt state of MI is considering putting in special sinks at the state universities for muslems to wash their feet before they pray.  Wash your feet at home!

Sorry for the rant, you guys started it.

Perhaps worth noting that he's not "in charge." The person is charge is someone named Napolitano. Perhaps we should be careful not to put such power in the hands of someone who might be associated with the Mafia.

I'm not gonna spout my racial credentials again, but those that know me,.................

As for the war on terror and home land security, putting Arab, or Muslim, or islamic people in any place of authority or decision making is the stuuuuuuuupidest thing eeeeeevvvvvveeeeeerrrrrrrr!

Oss gives examples of Japanese, German, and blacks serving during times when they were oppressed or imprisoned for being who they were.  I love the man, but in this case, I have to disagree with the analogy.  Each time our country, or another country, is attacked by the cowardly muslim radicals, AMERICAN Arabs, muslims, islamics, RIGHT HERE IN THE USA (ex: JERSEY CITY, right across the river from the twin towers), take to the streets and sing and dance and laugh and celebrate.  These are American citizens, who came here to seek a better life, freedom, etc..........but their allegiance is not to this country.  They're here to reap the benefits only. 

A high school history teacher relayed a story of children of Arab countries walking out of her class when the subject of 9/11 came up.  They were rude, loud, and acted out in anger and exclaimed that the USA got what it deserved.  These are high school kids, with ipods and converse sneakers, and nothing was done about it.  The kids could not be punished (detention, extra assignments) and the parents were not to be called and informed.....ALL DUE TO POLITICAL CORRECTNESS.

Until I see Arab Americans, coming out in droves in support of our country and yelling at the top of their lungs to denounce islamic/muslim radicals and terrorism, I will continue to agree with Chris.  I know that there have been many news persons asking for this, asking for Arab community leaders to act, but they don't.  Why not?  In this land of freedom, where we can assemble and state our views a million at a time in front of the capitol building in D.C., why won't the Arab communities assemble and denounce radical islam?  Why? 

[RoadKill]

Religious discrimination is NO BETTER than racism..while not the same by definition it is still a stereo type I can not agree with. Just as being christian does not make you catholic,being a muslim would not make you a jihad loving terrorist! Do all those of the  catholic faith approve of the Spanish inquisition ?(seriously..I dont know that answer,It is a question !  ) would the Presbyterians,Baptists and Jehovah witness feel the same? After all, they are Christian are'nt they? Or is your religion the only one that counts ?  I dont hate 'em cause of religion,ethnic up bringing or race because I can find MANY other reasons to remove them from the gene pool,Mostly because they interfere with Darwinism! But that list includes EVERY ethnicity,race and religion on earth! I'm not racist..I hate every one equally!

Roadkill......your analogy about religion is so disjointed it makes no sense.  For one thing as you said "Presbyterians,Baptists and Jehovah witness feel the same? After all, they are Christian are'nt they?" No they arent.  A religion doesnt a Christian make, and although there are Christians in every faith, many "christian" religions dont even by their doctrine teach the "way" to becomming a Christian.  Jehova witness is one that does not teach christianity, they get credit for being christian but they are far from it.  The only way all the religions you mention are the same is to the radical muslim that wants all of them dead

It is part of what muslims that tend to be radical are taught from birth.......to want the great "satan" dead....that is you my friend......you can deny it by holding up a noble veil of religious equality, but you would still be dead if some of them had opportunity.........sorry to slam you my friend, nothing personal

Sure, I suppose......but if a Muslim that is secretly radicallized is given opportunity, worse things could happen to the rest of us than if a Catholic slips by confirmation or first communion without actually accepting Christ.  That non-Christian Catholic is not going to want to kill us all....BIG DIFFERENCE IMHO

I'm not slingin nuthin!  I just believe whole heatedly that there are many better reasons to despise this administration and it's choices for cabinet and secretary's to the corrupt. And if you are more concerned with those of a certain religion claiming to be of another set of beliefs entirely (if a Catholic slips by confirmation or first communion without actually accepting Christ.) then you are missing the true problem entirely! It is NOT what religion they claim that is the problem...it is that they LIE ABOUT IT !  If you look under politician in MY dictionary you will find the definition is simple and undeniably true...http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/liar  !  That has NOTHING to do with religion or what faith is claimed.

IF...Think outside your box for an instant..."IF" you were a muslim today,what religion would you claim as your own ? Christian? Hindu? Pagan ?
I suspect that with ANY intelligent forethought you would choose anything BUT muslim. therefore claiming muslim would make you an IDIOT and there for PERFECT for this admin. !   If Imam Bin suit alha RagHEAD studied Catholicism and joined your church,would you welcome him and his dirty- bomb to break bread with your family ? ...I think NOT ! It is not about religion ! Obama claims Christian and few believe it so what makes this camel jockey from L.A. less of a liar about his beliefs and DOES IT REALLY MATTER?

n.  One who is strongly partial to one's own group, religion, race, or politics and is intolerant of those who differ.

That sounds exactly like Chris to me... objecting to this person solely because he is a Muslim... not radical... just Muslim.
