There is always the exception to the rule, take Zudi Jasser (not sure on spelling) as an example; muslim, former Naval officer, activist against islamic extremists (not a term I prefer but will use for brevity). Is this a guy that will attack a group of unarmed soldiers? Not very damn likely. But he is an apostate, despised by most members of his own faith.

I never cared about someone's religion when I was on active duty. I spent most of my time in Latin America, almost entirely Christian and mostly Catholic (which I am), the conflicts there were/are mostly political or drug infused political. I did not know anything about islam until I went to Iraq in 2004 and worked with the Emergency Response Unit (ERU) of the Iraqi Police. That is when we (myself and my fellow former 7th SFG guys) discovered that training these guys was vastly different than our Latin American cousins. From that point I have spent most of my reading time dedicated to Islam. I'm not going to go into my typical rant here since it involves typing and it was no accident that I was an 18B. I have become convinced that we should be at war with islam, it is contrary to our way of life, the foundation of our country and western civilization. Islam has been at war with us since the 620's AD....by us I mean everyone that is not muslim.

Anyone can point to other religions and find horrible acts commited in the name of God, God's, fairies, whatever. However, There is nothing in Christianity, Judaism, Buddism or any other religion I know of (keep in mind, I was a Bravo) that compels its followers to strive towards violently destroying other religions.

I apologize for being verbous, so I'll wrap this up quickly; do not believe what I say, or CAIR, or Robert Spencer, or George Bush...get a koran, a Reliance of the Traveler, politically incorrect guide to islam, Because They Hate, etc, and read it. As Special Forces soldiers it our responsibility to understand our enemy, otherwise the tab would read REGULAR FORCES. To the muslims in our military and our country; you too need to understand your religion, if you can still say you are commited to the American concept of freedom of religion then great, I just don't understand how it's possible from what I've read and observed.
