Why Are American Muslims Not Enlisting in Our Military?

Posted by Matt in February 9th, 2007

In a refreshing Muslim voice not often heard, FSM Contributing Editor M. Zuhdi Jasser challenges the stereotypical Muslim response to the fact that there are few Muslim soldiers in the U.S. military. Where are the moderate Muslim voices you ask? Read one right here.

A story out of Reuters this week, carried by the mainstream media (MSM), and then soon thereafter distributed widely by American Islamist organizations makes the pronouncement that a ”Fear of bias keeps U.S. Muslims out of the military,” (February 6, 2007 by Bernd Debusmann). This dismissal of American Muslim responsibility for military service is preposterous. Reuters found immediate approval from Ibrahim Hooper of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). He is always too willing to confirm all claims of anti-Muslim bias substantiated or not from a naïve reporter.

Why then have American Muslims not rushed to enlist in the frontlines of our national defense? If not “fear of bias”, then what is it?

CAIR, and its victim echo chambers including the ADC (Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee), MPAC (Muslim Public Affairs Council), and MAS (Muslim American Society), to name a few, have made a franchise industry, since 9-11, out of the amplification and exploitation of Muslim minority fears, real or not.

Islam and the PLO - Israel/Palestine
December 1991 Under military occupation since 1976, people in the Gaza Strip live as virtual prisoners. Two thirds are refugees. Increasingly frustrated, many Gazans have now lost faith in the secular policies of the PLO, and are looking to more radical alternatives to win their claim for a homeland. 'The secular organization failed to fulfil the Muslims' dreams' says one young man, 'we must leave'. Inconclusive peace talks aren't enough for most young Muslims, and the PLO is losing much of its more devout support to Islamist organizations such as Hamas.

Iranian Army Military Parade IIGF Impersial Guard Shah 1979
If you love Iran then PLEASE give a positive rating so others can see what Iran once was, and not what it is known now! Thank you to everybody that has given a positive view. This is the Iranian Imperial Guard (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iranian_Imperial_Guard) during a military parade in the winter of 1979 at the Lavizan Barracks in northern Tehran, the two generals viewing the parade were later executed. R.I.P General Ali Neshat. Some of these soldiers had participated in the Dhofar rebellion in Oman. ****************UPDATE**************** Since I uploaded this clip, there has been many that have support either the current regime that came after the revolution of 1979, and many that still support the old regime of the monarchy. My own view is more impartial, and Im quite suprised...
