Joe Kaffir, you are now enlightend
Reader comment on item: Muslim Soldiers in the West, Criticized by their Communities
in response to reader comment: You can't have it both ways
Submitted by Muslim Marine (United States), Jun 30, 2008 at 04:49
Joe Kaffir, ... It is clear that you have no idea what you are talking about. I am a Marine on active duty that is also a muslim. I hav an arab foriegn born wife and I live openly as a muslim. Your values are clearly not "enlightened" as you say. I fight for the freedom that you speak of. Also to practice the religion I want to. You know this is america I can do that.
