I was referring to this comment by Emir. I dont think he intended it as a bad thing but was intending to portray how US media makes Muslims out to be.

My point was many Americans, living in our ignorant bliss, think many Muslisms are ignorant and illiterate living in tents and mud brick buildings.

The truth is that Islam requires you to be able to read and write so that you can properly recieve the teaching of the Qur'an and the Prophet Mohammed (Peace Be Upon Him) so it should actually be one of the most literate groups in the world.

Anotherwords Darth...you only see things from the Muslim perspective. Muslims can do no wrong. Only the USA and of course Israel and Jews can do no right.

umm, I never stated that, if you would like to review all my posts ffrom first I became part of the forums, I have never stated such a thing as Americans and Jews cant do right, while muslims do wrong I MYSELF, have condemned terrorist attacks, and stated I am Anti-Zionist, not jewish.

Well let's see. There are close to 1 billion Muslims. Most of them are quiet. It is like they are afraid to speak out. If they don't speak the truth..then this whole radical extremist crap with give Islam a bad name if it hasn't already.

And you know this for a fact? You know for a fact that many o fus muslms in the world are quiet about terrorism? What do you want us to do? WE've spoken out already, but the war in Iraq and the crisis of lebanon 2006, didnt help much at all.

The only Muslim I heard about in the Army was the Sgt that fragged his surperior officers...killing a few of them. It only states that "Over 4,000 active-duty". That doesn't seem like anything when there are over 1 billion in the world and estimated 5 million Muslims in the USA. There are around 843 mosques and 165 muslims schools here in the USA. That is less that .0008 % of the American Muslim population in the USA join the Military. That is less than 100th of 1%.

Yes thats the only muslim YOU heard about, ofcourse YOU are not going to HEAR about the rest of the muslims in the army, navy ,and air force. Besides, first you say muslims totally AVOID the military, now we are only a small percentage? those are 4000 confirmed muslims, with more muslims staying without a preference. Muslims are in the military, facts right there. There is no reason to start goin around saying that .00* percent of muslim population is only in the military, we are doing it, and we dont have to get our whole families to do it. And there are MANY christians(No not christians but white americans) that speak out BADLY against the military, no need for this rgument anymore. How about you also go out find the percentage of hindus and jews?

Actually it almost is by the way :\

As said by Aeroflotte, These muslims arent lashing out for no reason, that magazine was pushing a little too far, probably knowing the reactions..the Pope, as I many times said, im unsure WHAT he REALLY meant by saying it, but I dont like that he said it.

Are you planning to be an officer in the U.S. Military?

Yes, hopefully in Aviation.

It is about twice as much as the Muslims. Muslims are one tenth of one percent and the Jews are only two tenths of one percent.

It was a rehtorical question, Your original statement was that:

this isnt a contest at who has more, All I did was just prove this statemet wrong, I dont even care if Jews have twice as much or christians 15 times as much as muslims in the US Military.

Are you saying that I was saying that there is no muslims in the armed forces? We both know that that statement is false due to the story of the Army Sgt that fragged his officers. I was comparing the Japanese Americans and the Muslim Americans in time of war. Both are essentual in war because Muslims can speak Arabic...etc.

Whatever the case is....we know that the Muslims that join the U.S. Military is less than one tenth of one percent.

It shows a big diffence from Muslim Americans and Japanese Americans during war.

Substantial numbers of Japanese-Americans served in America's armed forces during World War II, but the total number is unknown. Some 25,000 Japanese-Americans had proved their loyalty in uniform. More than 6,000 Nisei (first-generation, American-born Japanese) trained as interpreters and translators at the Army's Military Intelligence Service (MIS) Language School in Minnesota and 3,700 MIS linguists served in combat. The U.S. Army's 442d Regimental Combat Team (RCT), comprised of about 4,500 Japanese-Americans, fought heroically in Italy and Central Europe. The unit received more than 18,000 individual decorations and seven Presidential Unit Citations

Then why did you bring it up in the first place? :\

Now I dont know what your talking about, I dont know what you "Tried" to say but it went from no muslims to substantially less then japanese back in WWII.. BIG WHOOP? The only thing that I know is that muslims are serving thier country in the US Military, and putting country first. Numbers dont matter to me. And shouldnt matter to anyone, the only thing is that they good the job done.

I'm just trying to say that there should be more Muslims like yourself showing support for the USA. No big deal.

TO people who deny muslims condemning terrorism, Here is a big list of "Please have a look at this".

So if we withdrew our troops from Iraq then the terrorists would stop bombing us?

I think it is a lose/lose situation. If we didn't invade Iraq.....it would still be the same.
