How do you feel about a Muslim fighting for the Western World?

Question

As-Salaam Alaykum, Everyone!

This one here is more directed toward the Al-Qaeda, Taliban, Insurgence and any other extremist terrorist bastards that proclaim they fight for Allah [Alhamdulillahi]: How does it feel that a Sunni Muslim, I'm talking about me, has hunted you all down in your caves; you all were supposed to fight 'til the bloody end but instead ran like rabbits! Me and my Marines (and Corpsmen) too much for you? Shall I slap you around with my Holy Qur'an and re-educate you of the proper teachings of Islam, its Sharia, and of the Hadith? Killing of innocents is haraam knuckleheads! And Taliban...every evil deed you place upon any of those people living in Aghanistan, I vow that every M67 fragmentation grenade, pin pulled and spoon opened, be shoved deep up your Taliban asses! Fear me, as you may consider me an American Jihadist...Inshallah!

Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim...Allahu Akbar!

For those who are fellow Americans: Sorry for this imprudence behavior, just that I have a distaste for these bastards that claim they are of Islam but are not "real" Muslims! Too many American citizens fear that we, as Muslims, are fighting a jihad against the United States.

Well, I'm U.S. Marine and a Sunni, that should clarify that whatever the case may be, it isn't true about the war against Christian nations. In fact, many, if not most Muslims love Christians (even though we disagree on the Trinity concept), and we love Jews (even though they don't believe that Jesus is the Messiah)...but we keep in mind that we do believe in the same God [in Unitarian fashion] (Jehovah, Yahweh, Allah - all same God, different languages referring to Him).

This question here is for all to answer, friend and foe: What are your opinions on us Muslims as US citizens fighting for the West in the Armed Forces? I don't mind the negative answers...feel free to give me your absurd input! All positive answers...welcomed!

As an ex soldier in the parachute regiment I don't care what religion you are as long as you stand by your oath to your country and from what you write it looks like you have.
Good on you son.
Religion is a paradox that should not come in to the military but it does
You just do the job you are paid to do and do it well,
Semper fi marine, keep your head down and be lucky.
And when you get back to the world back home drop me a line to let me know that you got back safe,Take good care of yourself and your mates

They were NOT fighting for Islam nor representing MUSLIMS. The so called "Islamic extremists" or terrorists were NOTHING more than self interest individuals who thought they could get their dirty businesses through using Islam and bring other innocent Muslims with them to fight. A real Muslim fighting in Jihad WOULD NOT run away. If this was a real Jihad for Allah's cause, believe me they WOULD'VE NOT RAN from the battle field to start with. If they ran a way, BINGO!. That clearly tells you FEAR was in their heart and not ALLAH and the good cause to fight. History DOES NOT LIE, always smaller number of Muslim armies USED TO DEFEAT the crusader forces. Salahudeen (Saladin) Ayubi was a good example. The guy NEVER fled the battle ground like Bin Laden did. Instead, the played politics and force together to regain Jerusalem. When Muslims see the need for a genuine Jihad, they know what their duties are. No it is not a suicide bombing. It is hand to hand battle, if not face to face, if not diplomatic war and so on. The Muslim world is trying to live like everybody else and WANT to get rid of the so called "Muslim extremists", they are bunch of cowards, misrepresenting Islam and the Muslims. Look what they have done to Afghanistan, look what they are currently doing in Somalia, can't even let a transitional government get through. Who cares if the transitional government is a puppet of the West, at least there will be authority you will be able to challenge and change if it doesn't work for everybody. Simple. Give peace a chance.

I don't care what religion people are if they are in the United States Armed Forces.  They could be druids, and I'd be happy if they did their job well.

Why shouldn't American Muslims serve in the US military?  We are not at war with Islam.

Well stated...I applaud every man or woman who has sworn the oath to defend the Constitution. I don't have a litmus test for service desirability.

EDIT: Thank you for your service...and good luck with your officer aspirations!

The military should be open to all 'Americans' that are willing to fight to keep us free no matter what their religion is or 'isn't!

Good for you.  To many people in to many religions pervert the word of God for their own use.  We should all rise up as warriors of God and smite them and their families.
