The wrong loyalties in the wrong job
This from a serving U.S. Army Officer:
"I’m a Muslim first and I hold the Shariah, the Islamic Law, before the United States Constitution."
But yeah; move along, nothing to see here.

Hmm that’s a good sign.

Clearly contrary to good military order and discipline.
I would note though that this is not just limited to Muslims.
See here http://40yrs.blogspot.com/2007/08/if-there-was-any-doubt-that-christian.html and here http://40yrs.blogspot.com/2008/07/onward-christian-soldiers.html and this Google search which yields 71,100 hits http://tinyurl.com/yl92jck
You, of course have Bill Boykin’s very public speeches on the subject too.
Religious infiltration is a very big problem in the US military, and it’s not just Moslems.

So how many in the U.S. Army would say this:
“”I’m a Christian first and I hold the Bible and the 10 commandments before the United States Constitution.”
Best guess: Many more than one.

Yeah, I see the comparison. All those Bible beaters committing jihad and such.

This massacre has revealed how twisted the modern American Obama-left has become. They assume the worst about their fellow citizens on the right, but ignore the Islamic evil that stares them in the face. Their knee-jerk reaction was disgusting — excuse-making for the murderous traitor, and more concern over possible anti-muslim backlash from the right than for the actual shooting victims. Disgusting.

So… it’s 2009 and American adults still have an imaginary friend who tells them to kill people? And they listen?
Seems their love of Liberty stops at the mind.

The issue at hand here is that extremism doesn’t start small. Take a look at this guy. He was making progressively more and more extremist comments as time went on, and people looked the other way. He started out with small extremist comments, and yet he was allowed to slide further and further into batshit insane territory. Am I saying that he shouldn’t have been weeded out of the ranks? Absolutely not. That being said, it’s not an excuse for extremists of other religious persuasions to be given a pass. Eric Rudolph was in the 101st Airborne Division. Neal Horsley, when he’s not having sex with donkeys, was in the US Air Force. And lets not get started with Timothy McVeigh.
Religious extremism is a poison. And the military is mistaken for not having taken action on somebody who has expressed religious extremism on several occasions. That said, it should concern people that this is being used, directly or indirectly, to give other extremists a pass.
