An American Soldier, who happens to be Muslim - 2.2 English

Imran Siddiqui Urdu VOA News, Fort Hood, Texas.

Specialist Zachari Klawonn is an American soldier--an American Muslim of Moroccan descent and for the past 2 years he's been stationed at one of the largest military installations in the U.S, -- Fort Hood, Texas. Zachari is well respected among his peers and his supervisors according to Zachari, he's being harassed at the base by some soldiers as well as by some in higher ups the chain of command. The reason for this, according to Zachari, is simply because he happens to be a Muslim. But Zachari does not blame the entire institution of military for this behavior and he believes in the liberties, the moral compass and the freedom of religion honored by the U.S constitution. He simply asserts that his objective is to make sure that the system works, so that the next time around, when another American Muslim soldier walks into the military as a private-first class soldier, he doesn't have to face the same issues as him.

Error stfu you ignorant bastard. Turkish Muslims went to aid the fight against hitler, and saved many Jews and destroyed concentration camps. Never in history had Muslims committed a genocide. Maybe a Muslim, but never the religion.

Treat pple with respect, I'm a catholic and I see muslims as brothers because they also believe in the one true god. Maybe not his son, but atleast we have more similarities than differences

" It is the duty of all Muslims to kill all westerns in America" this slide is nothing more than a propagada by the Western Media to brainwash Chrisitians America to hate Muslims. That is the point of slides like this to make Chrisitians hate Muslims that is it. This is not new, it been happening for decades by movies and shows to make Muslims look bad like "True Lies". All of this Movies that potray Muslims as violent terrorits people are just Propaganda movies.

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

@mime800 I am muslim bro, and i see nothing wrong with you joining the US marines. Extremists on both sides are wrong... those americans who say that muslims are their enemies, and those muslims who say that americans are their enemies... they are both wrong. Join the marines bro and prove them both wrong, sallam.

[mime800]
