A great majority of the 2.5-million Muslims in the USA are citizens who were born in the USA. They cannot be deported and there would be no place to deport them to.

Please submit statistics that show that Muslims living in the USA have a higher rate of arrest for violent crimes than non-Muslims.

I think if you are a Muslim you should not be made to fight other Muslims as that would be a conflict of interest, as is apparent by the Ft. Hood Shootings.

Fine - They need to be removed from the armed forces (based on the rhetoric of the leaders).

That does not follow what he said, which was "if you are a Muslim you should not be made to fight other Muslims"

Why shouldn't a person be allowed to volunteer for military service, regardless of his religious faith?

If your armed forces are volunteer, then each individual should have the right to opt out of going to war where he has sympathies for the enemy. But not be forced out because of some presumed sympathies.

Sorry, but the miltary doesn't let the individual soldier decide which wars he will and which wars he won't fight in.

( and rightly so )

What you suggest would totally destroy the chain of command -

When you are in the military - you know / should know to say one thing: "Yes Sir"
