An American Soldier, who happens to be Muslim - 2.4 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.

@fossilshale you don't have to look like a soldier to be one, as long as you can shoot right and run the course under the set amount of time you are in.

@blackraven2488@ Let me set you straight! N1 (Arabs treat people black like crap over there) treat black people like crap?yes there were once slaves in arabia just like every were else in the planet but they were never exclusivly black people, they were mostly arab nomads that were kicked out of thier tribe for one reason or other and could not live alone in the desert so they were used as slaves from other tribes.
