Recruiting of Muslims is fine. However, it is tougher for them with respect to their religion and culture. Remember, they must swear allegiance “to uphold and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic.”
Our Constitution is based on Judeo Christian values (in all probability, organized by Masonic philosophy). These values are not easily reconciled with Sharia Law.
The Muslim soldier must resolve the conflicting goals and definitions of “jihad.” He must associate with “infidels” while maintaining his family’s honor.
And… this is a big AND… he must be prepared to give his life, in defense of our Judeo Christian Constitution, while engaged in killing other Muslims whose (co-opted) tenants initiated the conflict in the first place.
The Geneva Convention precludes the Muslim soldier from treating his enemies as directed… implied… (who knows) by the Koran. Unlike our society, It is blasphemous to interpret the Koran to infidels. You can be on the receiving end of a fatwa for that (Salmon Rushdie comes to mind).
The eminent scholar, Dr Bernard Lewis, argues that the Middle East is currently backward and its decline was a largely self-inflicted condition resulting from both culture and religion. (What Went Wrong?: The Clash Between Islam and Modernity in the Middle East (2002))
The Muslim soldier is a free citizen of the “land of plenty”, trapped in an unclear and contentious religion and culture… and ordered to combat jihad. How difficult it must be.
