Yes, there are Muslims in SF. As far as the mission in Afghanistan goes... everyone in that country is a Muslim, so how you would have a counterinsurgency without working, training, and fighting alongside Muslims anyways? Whatever religion you are, if your personal beliefs conflict with mission requirements you need to find (and will be sent to find) a new line of work. Using a your religion to "level with them"? An SF guy needs to level with them just fine without being of the same religion... that's kinda why they put the "special" in front of "forces" and why we know how important it is to understand their culture.



What's up with your signature - a rainbow colored "Semper Fi"? I wouldn't be spouting that if I weren't a Marine even if my whole family was.. but maybe that's just me. Don't worry I hate when people use DOL without every sniffing a Group too
