An American Soldier, who happens to be Muslim - The Documentary

Imran Siddiqui Urdu VOA, Fort Hood Texas -

United States of America is a country where people of all faiths and traditions co-exist and the first amendment to the constitution grants every U.S citizen the right to "Freedom of Speech". This is the story of United States Army Specialist Zachari Klawonn, an American citizen, /a first class US soldier from Alpha 4 -- 5 AMD Air Missile defense unit at Fort Hood./ Tough, smart, educated, intelligent, in fact they say he might even be a perfect candidate for the Special Forces ; according to his immediate supervisor Capt. Chris Arata, Klawonn has everything that the army is looking for in a good soldier, but according to Specialist Klawonn, his own American-Moroccan Muslim heritage seems to be haunting him like a never ending nightmare... a situation that has made him a victim of Islamophobia and has put him at the cross roads with the military of a country that he has sworn to protect and defend.

@armyk90 Wait 'til you meet God... it is not leaders that do most of the dying in war, its citizens... men, women, old, children... girls get sold into prostitution, socioeconomic structures are destroyed... you will help contribute to another few million people being murdered like the Iraqis whom paid with their lives over their leader being blamed for having WMDs? But its your one life.

@iRockNRolla28 it doesnt have to be halal , in Islam its ok to eat what Christians and Jews eat ( except alchohol and pig ) , in Quran : (( The food (slaughtered cattle, eatable animals, etc.) of the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) is lawful to you and yours is lawful to them)) AlMaida - 5

I think a way for people to understand a culture is to understand a faith and their history--and if you have both understandings, you can love the people of that culture, the richness and complexity of it, have a respect for who they are...equipped with those tools, you will not be ignorant.

@MrSheniah

America is not a Christian nation. It's a free country that allows Christians and all other faiths to co-exist without discrimination. The constitution specifically prohibits establishment/endorsement of a state religion or discrimination against those who have religious beliefs. Yes, I will admit that America has a large number of Christians, but not all US citizens are Christian.

A Muslim who joins non Muslims to fight his own umma has clearly chosen to whom goes his allegeance.

Moreover, why is he surprised he gets treated like crap ? Don't tell me he expected non Muslims to treat him in an islamically correct manner ...

@saladuhddin786 YOUR A FUCKING MORON DUDE! WHAT THE FUCK DOES ANY OF WHAT YOU JUST SAID MEAN? NOTHING! your rambling is just fucking pathetic... War on terror is a war on a feeling, as any human knows feelings are always present. It is impossible to win this war. Seriously, the whole fucking human population is fucking pathetic. you can bash me all you want for stating the truth but think about it. You are a fucking criminal by birth right by DMT. THIS WHOLE SYSTEM NEEDS TO DIE!

[salahuddin786]

This is a War OF Terror.

NATerrorO = NATO

Terror means Islam.

War on Islam - not War on Terror.

This is in fact the War of Oil/Gas.

This is FACT.

This is the Zionist Jewish conspiracy.

It will be DEFEATED. This war is UNENDING.
