Muslim won't go to war

[Halon]

Guess he should have thought more about that before he raised his hand and took the oath to protect the US from foreign and demostic threats, which every soldier takes upon enlistment into the military.

I understand people change their minds on things, but enlisting in the US military is one of those many choices in life that are serious choices that are beyond just you, and can't just easily back out of because you decided to change your mind.

Yup, this guy is just wrong. Like mentioned, he probably should have thought of that before he voluntarily signed up. No excuse now, also part of our religion is to do your duty/job well whatever it may be, time for him to do his job.

Their belief is why they've been at civil war for how many centuries?

Umm, what "civil war" is that? And in what country do you think this is happening in?

well, what annoys me most is that he says his religion is based on peace. I know all Muslims aren't Arabs(middle-eastern), but still, if they say their religion is peace, they haven't gotten to peace in about.....forever. If their religion is based on peace, why did he make the choice to join the US Army...which doesn't make any sense because he is joining the US Army and taking an oath to defend our country. ... 20 year old dude not knowing what he is doing...just an excuse not to fight.

Don't really wanna talk about religion in politics.

We are agreed he did the wrong thing and now should do what is right.

But you still haven't said who or where is in "civil war".. Let me help you with that.. there is no civil war. Your facts are totally wrong. I think you need to do a little research about the middle east, it's countries, what is going on there, and what "wars/civil wars" are going on before you say things like that as fact.

I'm sure I'm off. It's just their religion I don't agree with but hell, which religion doesn't make sense...off topic again. Yes, my facts are off but the sad part is that ALOT of people think like that (like what i just 1-2 posts up). What we all need is this and and we have no worries. On topic...the dude is an idiot.
